When I surf the web and encounter some obvious error, I always use their contact form to let them know even if it is only the first time I visit that site. You don't have to be a member to speak up. In most cases, I receive a thank you reply by email. I go back and look and sure enough, they made the correction, even if only fixing a typo in the terms of service or other site policies.
Any time I am an active member of a site, I often see some part of the site that could be improved with modification so I forward the suggestion to the administration. I frequently see changes as a result. There have been suggestions that have simply been ignored but there have also been suggestions that result in a reply that although they might really like the suggestion, they find that the software will not allow such a change.
If you see something that you feel could use a minor change that could improve the site in your own opinion, there is no harm in making the suggestion as long as you are polite and offer constructive content that does not insult anyone. In most cases, the site owner appreciates the offer even if they can't implement it. It is all feedback and there can be many times a suggestion from an active member can really make a difference. I've seen improvements many times as a result of one of my brainstorms.
