I love meeting new people and talking to them with the added benefit of knowing that you don't have to see this person again if you don't want to. I've talked to a guy over 3,000 miles away from me for about 3 hours one morning. It was fantastic. He told me about his place, I told him about mine. Like a penpal you can see: D

The reason why it's 3/4 is because you really do have to sift through in order to get someone nice. You'll get the occasional guy who will cuss at you or some weird guy touching himself, but the overall theme is nice.

The user called me "hot" then asked "can I touch myself rn"; I said "no thank you" and left. With in 1 min I was reported for "suspicious activity" why is the sexual predator not accountable. Y'all are unbelievable and gross accepting this type of behavior (oh she wouldn't let me jack off to her and she texted me. I should report her, that will show her.)

Hit or miss
January 18, 2021

I spent some time on these chats. It can be fun, but its getting filled with underage or just stupid people more and more. Really, people are aware this is internet - and they kinda arent responsible for what they do. And such attitude spoils projects like this.

Handicapped
July 9, 2016

A handicapped man, supposedly in a wheelchair, asked me to do a strip tease for him. He said i had to, because he was in a wheelchair. I refused. Next thing i knew, i had a 24-hour ban on chat roulette,

Your IP address is paused automatically because a few users have clicked Report button while talking to you.

You can return to Chatroulette after 23 hours and 55 minutes.

If you keep getting reported, you can try to eliminate potential reasons for why people might be reporting you, such as:
Link to a website in your webcam stream or profile
Bad webcam quality or slow internet connection
Anything else that may make people think that you are broadcasting inappropriate content

Thanks.

People are weird and mostly it's all about sex. But if I want sex I go to J2Sex.com
Because it's totally worth the money. But people talking about sex on Chatroulette aren't sexually attractive, to put it softly. I got so fed up with it. The straw that broke the camel's back was meeting a very active and a very ugly Russian man who was definitely after the idea of Russian superiority. He talks about the necessity for everyone to be friends with Russians and other BS like that. He's very active and he keeps reaching out to many people. I don't know why he's doing it but it's really annoying. There are tons of people who are out of their minds on Chatroulette.

Today, chatroulette is packed with underaged people who want to have fun and make a laugh at what they see. This is like in a schoolyard. People don't really want to start a conversation and you can find really wierd people behind the screen. I think that all the buzz around chatroulette is over now. Anyways, don't go there if you are an adult.

My friend Juice asked me to look into this website for her. She remarked that it could be "interesting, but scary". After checking it out, I figured out why. I also figured out why, being married, she could not check it out herself first.

The premise is interesting - video chat with random people around the world (the whole thing is supposed to be randomized). If you see someone you don't like, click NEXT. If you see something you like, stick around and chat it up. The reason I say "something" is because you don't always see people, but rather parts of people or couples in uncompromising positions, and that can be unsettling and vile after a while. According to MyAnh, who reviewed Chatroulette earlier today, the site seems to have cleaned itself up, but when I tried it a few months ago, that wasn't the case. When I explored it, it was a mature site, not to be visited by children, yet there were children on it, and I felt the sudden need to protect them.

I don't think the site is necessarily bad, but it can be disillusioning to see how uninhibited and lonely some people seem to be. And even when someone appears to be a respectable person to get to know, he may reveal his real motives with time, so take heed and be careful there. I'm also not a fan of NEXTing someone, in the spirit of MTV; I can't imagine how hard it must be for some folks to be nexted over and over again.

In short, while the idea is promising - to connect people from around the world, I feel like this is more of a social experiment that could potentially be damaging, if not better thought out.

My friend referred me to this site so we could find eachother and video chat. The site is set up where you connect your webcam and shuffle through people on webcams until you find your friend, find someone interesting. Etc.

While shuffling through, I saw a lot of naked people and a lot of guys masterbating on camera, a lot of old guys in their underwear, and a lot of slutty looking women. Now, these types of things are common and legal on porn sites and usually have a warning or something stating it's content. But chatroulette.com has nothing saying "X-rated material" or "discretion advised." No. This site probably started out innocent and became very abberated.

Now, my issue with this scenario is that while seeing naked people and masterbation and everything else, I noticed kids. Kids probably as young as 5 or 6. I even saw a young child around 2 or 3 with their older sister. This is where things become quite serious. We wonder why our generations are becoming more and more degraded and uneducated.

Online crimes and are rising more and more. There is no police for the internet. I'm aware that the FBI is involved with fraud cases but these such things are overlooked. I think everyone with a rational state of mind can agree that 5 and 6 year olds shouldn't be watching a woman strip on a webcam.

Chatroulette.com either needs to be shut down, or have a more secure entry so children can't easily get on. Or atleast some kind of sign that states what goes on! Jeezus!
