The moderator "Lordnermie" is a literal pedo and when I blew the whistle on his inappropriate behavior is was permabanned
The liars who lie about the negative comments of the very disrespectful admins at healthful chat are fooling no one i had admins make false accusations about me harassed me several times banned me several times for no reason
They bully mentlally ill people because they know they can get away with their behaviour not a good place to chat
There is this chatter Lemon who harasses people and says vulgar and sexual stuff and posts insulting photos. Lemon is banned but ban evades like most banned chatters do this is not a safe website please ignore Lemon who will not stop the ban evasion and is a clinically insane person. The fact that banned chatters like Lemon can still access healthfulchat clearly means that the website is not safe.
It is horrible people there are pedophiles and talk about inappropriate things and the mods are super toxic and hate on random people and ban them. I tried to get help and they just banned me and told me to move on. Do NOT use it.
It is hard to find a place (on the fly) to vent about being sad or angry or feeling worthless, whatever. I thought I had an avenue to just rant and share with people like me (sad and confused, etc.) on Healthful. However, after sharing things when the CEO of Healthful is logged on, if his/her rants aren't acknowledged immediately, ya get kicked off and rejected from ever returning to the site. I know this because I am kicked out from Healthful. Tonight, one person defended guestxxx (which is me) by saying xxx didn't say anything against the rules. And another person said 'guestxxx... you are about to get kicked out.'
I even paid the $237 for the coffee cup to try to keep talking to the folks I sort of felt, like, "got" me.
Still can't log in. Not even as a guest. Wasted money and wasted time.
Don't go to Healthful.
There is a hidden sect of users into pedophilia and sexual abuse. This website/server needs to be investigated and shut down. Worse yet, the moderators and administration back them up! Really makes you wonder what type of people volunteer to moderate, only to protect the guilty and abuse the innocent. There are at least a dozen sexual abusers that I've found on this server so far.
This chat is just toxic garbage. People will bully you every chance they get and now they got hackers that will ping your IP and look up your past usernames on the site in order to "intimidate" you. Im not scared if im not facing consequences. That chat deserves to be bullied. Its corrupt.
Worst site for chat ever! Theyll ban you for any littile thing. The site should be shut down immediatley I might report to the bad buisness bureau if possible
This site used to be so good. Where are all the good mods they had? Never a mod on anymore. I quit going there no real conversations to be had and lots of trolls. Looking for a new site, any suggestions?
I have been a regular and there are never enough moderators on to deal with all the issues. I have seen moderators try to give people many chances only to be sworn at and called names.
I don't get all the complaints about the moderators, probably banned chatters with a vendetta.
Great site in general. Got to know quite a few nice people, most mods are super nice as well. Some are just weirdos (actual mod name). Long story short, mods dont build the community.
The healthfulchat lounge, is the worst chat site I have ever visited. It's a wonder they are still in operation.
The mods are all power hungry and show favortism certain chatters.
Mark w has been restricting my mental health blocking me from the site I use so much I get my help here and he has got mad because he did not identify with my choice of discussion I was not speaking in vulgarity and he is unreasonable blocking me from my main source of psychological healing I need help
I'm Brumble in this old screenshot, I'm transgender.
How is this site still up? Cyber bullying is illegal in the united states, they need turned in.
The mods and regular users are just a bunch of tools. They all serve one unhealthy purpose, depending upon another in different ways. It's a rats' nest of smaller echo chambers, where not even helpful discourse can illuminate through. You would be remissed to visit this website.
I don't understand the negative reviews here - the site isn't perfect, but most of the moderators are nice. They try their best to help out when they can, but they are all volunteers and they seemingly don't have shifts of any kind, so it can be the wild west at night.
The mods in the depression side can be a bit fast and loose with the rules, so i stopped going there
Now only i go to the Healthful chat side and the mods there are nice (but sometimes you need to send them a message if someone is breaking the rules). The rooms can get a bit off topic, but the mods try to keep the triggering content out of the rooms.
This isn't a support site, but it is a good site to chat with other people. A lot of people there have anxiety, but i have seen people with bipolar and addiction
Don't believe the good reviews here, most likely fakes to boost the rating.
The first month I used the site, I literally just logged in when I got kicked by Astrid, a mod, rudely accusing me of terrible behavior. I logged in again and asked her in main chat of depression What's up with her kicking me out and accusing me of something when I just logged in. I got no reply. I was upset so I left.
My experiences in this site are horrible. Men wanting sex talks, scammers, even pedos. I've noticed that people in the main chat are primarily composed of people who have no jobs, in disability or relying on gov't funds, entitled people who hates rich/wealthy people and thinks gov't should be able to give them better support/more financial benefits, men who treats the site as a dating site, and those who constantly just complain about their life without making real effort of changing their situation, and adults acting like kids. I've also encountered porn links on site, and mods can't do anything about it.
Mods are all volunteers and also have mental health issues as they are chosen from regular chatters on the site. People who got kicked out can just log back in within seconds. Even banned people can somehow still log back in. Ignore feature does not really work because every time you log out or the ignored person log out and back in, the ignore is gone so you have to do it all over again.
This is the site to go to if your purpose is just to complain about everything in public. If you are serious about getting help, this is the worst site to go to as you will just get constantly triggered. If you stay in this site for a long time, your mental health issues will not get better, and would just get worst.
7 cups has better support as you can find normal (not mentally ill) people who gives great advices.
I've been coming to these rooms for awhile now. For the most part the chatters are helpful and friendly. They have good advice/support. However, there are chatters that join the rooms as some sort of online playground and just attack chatters or are completely random. I think its still worth using this website though from all the help i've received since i first joined.
There are mutiple things wrong with this site. I have worked for a crisis chat line last year and have battled with mental health for many more.
The chatrooms i went into (requested from calm because i cannot do phone calls because im hard of hearing) were seemingly completely unmonitored, bots kept popping up asking you to donate to the shambles of the website
No research has been done around the postive and negatives around having mutiple people woth the same underlying issue they clicked on for help may i add in the same chat room. Everyone was triggering each other there were no professionals or systems in place to stop people or remove even after someone has said to not talk about a subject mutiple times. There is no monetising around potentially harmful subjects which is why 1 to 1 chat services with a trained professional is much more effective than alot of unwell people all in one room with no supervision (much like in a pshych ward with no staff) its not going to go well for anyone.
Made me so much worse when i just wanted to talk to someone about my situation and feeling because i have no one to talk to and i hate to think about how many more people are being made so much worse when clicking on this site
Absaloutely disrespectful and my complaint message wont even allow me to contact them.
It's a joke made for people just wanting a place to fit in and ask advice, only to be greeted by 2 year old adults.
My dad passed away a while back, I went to this website, the mods just made me feel worse.
While most of the mods are okay, but they do nothing, except Strawberry-Maiden and Forever.
All of the mods do not take your complaints and if they do not like what you are talking about, even if it is a netural topic, they say: MOVE ON! MOVE ON!
There are a lots of weirdos, especially in the bpd chatroom who basically talk about sexuality (despite there is a room about sexuality - the LGBTQ) and asking if you are a ''gay'' person or not.
Generally in most of the rooms you are only allowed to do small talk, nothing about mental health issues, like you' ve lost your job, you were raped, hurt, beaten, feeling suicidal or any other form of excessive complaining.
The users in bpd chatroom are especially vindictive and make fun of you and invalidate your negative experiences, woes, sorrows in life.
If they do not like the intensity of your complaining and feelings they will call you a troll and you will be kicked for 48 hours or more.
Basically, the site is pointless - you are not allowed to talk about suicide, mental health issues, depression, anxiety, self-harm, traumas in the rooms, only in private messages - but you got to ask in main if anyone is wanting to have PM with you.
Worthless, worthless site, power-hungry admins and mods, lots of invalidating and offensive folks.
Answer: It's more a way for healthfulchat to make an income than a scam, the false advertising about how great it is in my opinion is a scam though. They have low star ratings here for a reason, read some to find out for yourself. Also read the site sponsor reviews here as well, I'd call those scam worthy.
Answer: False advertising on their main webpage & google results.
Answer: You're being trolled via the Notice feature in NickServ. Someone does not like you for whatever reason or sees that you will respond to trolling so has chosen to target you. If you don't respond they stop trying and will leave you alone. If you send this to report content or speak to a moderator they will permit a name change for you. Being a victim of trolling is unfortunately a repercussion of using the internet, it is up to you whether or not you want to add fuel to the fire.
Answer: Many chatters, including room assistants and moderators, have helped me. They've supported me with struggles with my conditions, motivated me to improve my lifestyle, and encouraged me to seek treatment. The Healthfulchat behind the scenes staff went the extra mile to fix a very serious issue I was facing. Very much appreciated!
Answer: Is is very poorly run. The mods are only part-time.
