I was a regular member of Paltalk for 6 years. I still have 3 colored nicks which are active. I left Paltalk as a paying member as it wasn't worth constant emotional drain to put up with gangs of non paying toxic chatters who have been in Paltalk for 20 years in several sections who target me for speaking my mind about their toxic online activities which included extreme trolling, flaming, cyberbullying, abuse, harassment, scamming, breaking TOS and stalking on a constant basis. In 6 years some excellent chatters have left in disgust moved to other chat clients because they are targeted by drunks, scammers and extreme gang of trolls. This program is below average there's been chatters who have committed suicide because people have egged them on livestream. There are chatters in their 60s who DO NOT pay for Paltalk they have been on Paltalk for 10-20 years using free black nicknames constantly complaining about the new Paltalk. Classic Paltalk should be not operational because it's a program the toxic clique troublemakers use and it's not getting updated. The best thing about the new program is that you can put admins who are incompetent on ignore. There's a problem with toxic chatters allowed to admin because they abuse their power by unfairly dotting, bouncing and banning chatters and treating chatters as chew toys. I wrote to Paltalk ages ago about serious issues with several sections of Paltalk which have NEVER been addressed appropriately however some rooms and chatters get continually banned and then allowed to return and operate again- There's chatters who have been friends for over 20 years and have moved to Paltalk chat from Yahoo chat and some of these chatters have bad intentions from activities that seem illegal to mentally abusing others continually for their entertainment. When the help rooms were operational they were a joke and recently the help rooms were rarely staffed. The help rooms were often staffed by volunteers who didn't know what they are doing. The only thing Paltalk has done recently is surveys instead of logging in and witnessing issues at hand. At times Paltalk Terms Of Service rules are continually broken without any severe consequences. This is not a place for the weak minded or vulnerable as Paltalk isn't held responsible for another chatter's behavior towards you even if it's constant harassment, cyberbullying or abuse. As a chatter you waive your rights by signing the agreement not to sue Paltalk. However Paltalk should be responsible to provide a reasonable environment which isn't promoting a constant stream of cyberbullying and harassment that associates the program with a poor image. Chatters giving death threats should be permanently banned. In the religious section each room has a number of fake clone followers listed - however there's only about 30 people in each room and a low activity of chatter interacting in most rooms. Nicknames are cloned to make room numbers appear larger. There are NOT 5000 followers for each room in the religious section -that number is fraudulent. It seems there's a criminal element operating in Paltalk, these toxic chatters would think this is an excellent program because it's a lifestyle for them to hang out. There are certain sections of Paltalk where chronic potheads reside to sell drugs, take drugs on cam, and to be abusive and toxic to others. In some sections there's mentally ill chatters who have serious issues and take it out on other chatters by constant harassment. There are several alcoholics that take the mic in rooms and are very abusive, very combative, kill room numbers, rant and scream on mic. There's claims by Paltalk chatters who have had their computer hacked, their photos and information stolen. Toxic chat gangs have doxed new chatters and chatters they do not like and their personal information posted on Paltalk. Also claims that chatter's webcam are hacked. Microphone conversations are recorded and posted to YouTube and replayed on Paltalk without permission. Warning to newbies this program should never be used as a dating site or to meet anyone in real, there's too many unstable toxic chatters who don't have the right intentions and are predatory no one is screened on this program there's ex felons. The quality chatrooms are on a severe decline, chatters are leaving in vast numbers. A Paltalk subscription isn't expensive for chatters that use it extensively, what is expensive is wasting precious time with drunks, drug addicts, predators, scammers, severely mentally ill who's lifestyle is being on Paltalk 24/7 who use it as an outlet for abuse. So many changes needed for Paltalk to be safe, fun and for users to pay for subscriptions. Private rooms aren't a solution, the solution would be to weed out the bad apples
