I like this site. It's rather good way to meet people and have fun. But it does need moderated a bit.

Sucks bad when you think you signed up correctly and find out when trying alternative chatango rooms only to discover without email verification you have no access. Frustrating waste of time. I sent them numerous emails about the bug and no response. They suck sorry thats all I have...

Chatango moderators are the worst on the net. I have so many friends that have had accounts banned over a typo, or a silly comment that a moderator doesn't like. They give no warnings, and half the chat participants are moderators. While one mod is warning someone, another one jumps in and just bans them. Then, there's no way to dispute these bans. The information on their website is useless unless you are a mod yourself.

Hey Chatango Moderators: Get a life! Half of you don't even chat. You're just their to wield your power by deleting messages and banning accounts!

Site is completely run by auto-moderation, and if something goes wrong. Support used to be able to override it.

However there are no moderators, only one person oversees the entire website, and all his contact info is outdated, and he hasn't been active in any communities for at least 4 years. People get shadowbanned (Called PMR, or Private Message Restricted) randomly due to the auto-moderation. Even a edgy user blocking them can trigger this. This prevents your IP address from messaging any other users unless you are on their friends list, pretty much defeating the purpose of a chat site.

I am a semi-active user of this site at the moment. I usually go on for a few months then take a break for a while and alternate as such. Yes there are many people that talk sexually to eachother, but most kids in the chat site's range are looking for that. Horny kids are getting on late at night to talk to their vampire boyfriends. It can have a lot of creepy, gross, annoying, and outright freaky people, but I have found many people that have become good friends to me. So, the basic rules are as follows: If you are a guy, you are pretty much safe from anything just as long as you can withstand the occassional troll. Girls, if you join, you are going to have a lot of horny boys trying to come after you. Just talk to them as giving a chance, but if you become uncomfortable, just block them. I see negative and posative in this site. My main positive is a personal experience when I was 12 years old that set my life on the track that it is on now. The girl I talked to a lot just totally $#*!ed with my mind and of course we never stayed together since it was so long-distanced, but the trauma it put me through made me open-minded, understanding, matured, and it led me to the job I am currently studying for. Because of so many pedophiles and other illegal actions that take place on the site, I am studying to become a Computer Forensics Specialist, which is basically a computer cop. I will monitor the internet and find illegal transactions, chat sessions, and other alike things. So, in conclusion: the site really does a number on your mind and changes you, but it can be a great life experience to shape your future.

Before I start, I wanted to say that I frequented the site on and off for years. I've seen the several changes that went on with the userbase and the site as a whole. It's only getting worse. The only pros I can point out are...
-You can meet some pretty decent people on the site.
-Chat groups can be occasionally enjoyable.
-Sometimes you could have a good roleplay going with someone.
The pros are unfortunately very few. That being said, a lot of the roleplays can be sexually explicit, and the roleplayers can be pretty anti-chat.
Cons:
-Trolls and generally unpleasant people lurk on the site. You'll often find that a lot of people will ignore you or will be outright rude.
-Pedophiles lurk on the site. There are a lot of minors on the site too, so this is a very big cause for concern.
-The staff on the site don't take any action towards the aforementioned types of users above. Even if you report that person more than once over time.
-Unsolicited messages coming from others who are looking to "cyber" (internet lingo for internet sex) along with other things like chat invites.
-You may also come across the occasional person who reacts with hostility after you reject their advances.
I could go on. But, then this review would go on for far too long. This might not happen to everyone's experience on the site, but if you're on the fence of potentially joining the site... I urge you not to. It's not worth the risk or the time.

If by any chance you do get a descent chat going with someone, you'll find that silly words are blocked for no reason whilst most swear/curse words are fine. I found the name of an anime name was blocked on an anime site that had that show in there playlist. Then you have brainless moderators that don't even understand their own rules and are rude and obnoxious to say the least. They have the smallest amount of responsibility and they usually abuse said power and aren't held accountable for their actions, which are usually worse then the users. Unfortunately the lowest score here is one star, I'd be much happier giving them a lower score.

So I was watching anime one day, and stumbled upon this website just from watching cartoons. Chatango is embedded on the sidebar of websites that contain cartoons for both children and adults. Yet it is not moderated at all.
In fact, it hasn't been moderated for over a decade. More than one person have told me about the types PUBLIC-AS-F chatrooms grown men that congregate together in, and post the naked pictures of the minors they manipulated through the internet. Telling children that they're in love with them, convince them to show themselves, then show these pictures around to each other as some kind of trophy. Some even record them on cam touching themselves and show it around to everyone (that hurt to even type).
If you are an undercover cop, I suggest you disguise yourself as a 23 year old man, buy yourself an "original account", and decorate it really nicely so the people there think you have money. After some time (of going around and talking to other "originals") you will get offered some minor's nudes for free or for money.
It's all very disgusting. This chat had potential and I only wanted to watch some cartoons and chill. But I found out heinous $#*! by accident and I honestly don't what to do for now, other than warn people on here anonymously on this website review.
Note: Most "originals" in that website are not pedos, but holy schit there ARE a lot of guys who are.
If you let your teenager or child watch anime/cartoons by themselves, chances are very high that they have encountered this website. With lots of manipulative adult men who are always looking for someone new.
By the way, not all anime are for children, so wtf are you doing letting your kid browse it by themselves. Well anyway, there's danger everywhere, but in this website called chatango, there are no consequences for seriously breaking the law as much as someone can. People who have spoken to the owner (Alec), and try and convince him to moderate this sh*t like child exploitation, say that he doesn't care.
He just wants the money people give him on the site and the money they spend to buy things on it.
By the way, this isn't 100% but, you know how in the front of the page it says "we don't save your messages, your messages are only saved in your PC"? I hear that is a straight up lie in the agreement section. Because apparently the few that do have moderator power, can read your messages.
Me and multiple others have even seen females below 18 put it on their profile page that they are selling their nudes. And a lot of girls apparently, minus and plus 18, sell their nudes just to get accounts with "cool usernames". What the fk. I'm tired of no one doing anything about this, so I'm at least going to start with writing this review.

I would not suggest for anyone especially an adult to use this chat, it is filled with foul mouthed children starting at 13 that use offensive language and talk about disgusting topics both gay and straight. There is no respect for adults and actively disrespect each other even the staff and moderators act inappropriately popping in occasionally, not to do their job but to perpetuate the already staggering number of amoral comments being thrown around using the N word and Jewish short form in a extremely racist fashion as well as having user names of notorious German racists. I can't see how it is allowed to operate even in the chat rules it states under rule 15: Religious discussions are not allowed, they only bring in unwanted hate. Plus your opinion is wrong, religion is a lie. It is like lord of the flies online.

I went on this site thinking its a site to meet other adults. Well I keep meeting guys on here who was persistent. All they want to talk about is giving oral sex if you meet up with them. This site needs to be monitored. This site needs a moderator to prevent pervs from trolling other people who are trying to make friends. Not everyone is into talking dirty, some people just want to make friends. The sexual perverts are giving the site a bad name. This site has the potential to be a good place to meet grown up not immature, horny guys.

This website may have potential but it is a HELL of a long way from being Myspace or Facebook. You see, the biggest complain I have about this website is that it is NOT Moderated ANWHERE! It has Children on this website, but yet, with easy you can find pornographic pictures of both real and anime depictions. I found an image of a persons pecker, I've seen Futa(alot), Anime Rape, ect... I spoke to several minors on this website and 87% of them reported being approached on by an adult who was being sexual to them. A 13 year old reported this happening. PARENTS DONT LET YOUR KIDS USE THIS SITE!
