Omegle irrational behavior

On the thirtieth of June 2019, I was on the website Omegle.com for the sole purpose of talking to strangers ("Talk To Strangers!" is the second largest thing on the website, after the name Omegle) and after about 30 minutes, I was shown a white screen which said I had been banned.
After reviewing the terms of service on the main page, I concluded that there was no reason whatsoever for my being banned, with the only possible exception that somebody reported me for doing something wrong. The website claims that video is monitored. It seems, however, that reporting someone will automatically ban the video stream in question without any verification as to the veracity of the complaint.
In other words, anybody can report anybody else, for any reason, whether they are doing anything wrong or not, knowing that person will be banned.
I fully understand that many people ignore the terms of service and, by all means, should be banned. Omegle, however, needs to understand there are also many people being banned without any justification, simply because somebody clicked the "report" button.
If the video is indeed monitored, as the website claims, then complaints should be followed up by a moderator who could then determine the validity of a complaint, and only then take whatever action may be necessary.

Omegle "i'm not a robot" verification

Every time I try and get on Omegle and start a chat. The "I'm not a robot" checkbox will pop up and ill click on it and it will go to chat, but after the i try and go to another chat the box will keep popping up every time and i could never chat since I'm trying to get verified and the verification will never go away. Even when i refresh the page it still does it and it's very aggravating.

Omegle banned for no reason

I was live streaming some xbox out of boredom and had a few people actually enjoying my stream through the chats and after a while my screen just went white and then it said I was blocked I myself was doing nothing wrong just playing some games and if it was against terms of service so be it I can stop but the fact that a man playing a game gets blocked while others with their dongs out do not does puzzle me and for anyone wondering no nudity was not in the game it was a racing game f1 2019 to be exact

I was using the site Omegle in an appropriate way trying to meet new friends. I was under the interest "TikTok" and all of a sudden, a screen popped up saying that I was banned. I did nit do anything wrong and did not violate any rules of the site. i would like to continue using the site and I am upset for being blamed and banned when I did nothing.

Omegle omegle

I have been unfairly banned from Omegle. I didn't actually do anything wrong. My public IP address is 2806:1000:8200:3b19:20ab:b4e4:f885:4798. I would appreciate it if I could be un-banned. Once again, I was only talking, and I didn't break any rules. So one moment I was talking to this nice girl, and we were talking about music. Then she skipped me and all of a sudden, I was kicked out of the website, and a message popped up on my screen saying I was banned. I have been doing research and reading Omegle's policies. I broke none of them. I also left feedback on another website. But when I go to omegle's home page, it let's me stay there. but as soon as I try to talk to someone, it kicks me out. And there is no "send feedback" option on the home page.

Omegle being banned for no reason

About 2 months ago I was on Omegle and I saw a lot of guys with their penises out in the open then you have the females that do sexual things, and then you have all of the child porn, then you have all the other inappropriate things that you can think of. so basically I got banned for no reason, and then you have all of the stuff that i mentioned up there and they still dont get banned. We are getting banned for no reason. We do nothing and all these people do disgusting things and then I get on the next day and they are still there, I just wanna know what I did. If there is anything you can do to unban me! That would be fantastic! Thank you

Omegle public nudity

Me and my friend were trying to talk to others because we were bored and when we were paired with someone new the image was saw was horrendous and disturbing. It was a completely naked man. EVERYTHING was showing. We quickly skipped to the next person and while still flustered were greeted by a new man who quickly stood up and flashed his penis at us. We then proceeded to close the app. When we went to open it up later, with new filters involved may I add, we found WE had been banned. Although it may be for the better that we cannot view the site anymore we were not the abusers of the rules of conduct. We were merely victims.

Omegle user showing child porn in your website.

Yesterday, I was browsing through Omegle when I came across a woman doing sexual activities with a girl no older than five years old. I'm unsure if it was a stream or a live cam. I immediately exited the chat and wondered what I should do. Figured the best thing to do is to write this here today in order to let you know what some users are doing in your website. I hope something could be done (moderating or supervising what type of content people show in the website). Again, I really hope something could be done. Thank you.

Omegle child pornography

Me and my friend were on Omegle just for fun and decided to go on the unmoderated section. We found the usual horny men that we're used to laughing at, however, we saw something that was just unacceptable. We just skipped someone and then the next person's camera showed a little girl with red hair, who looked under five years of age, sucking a grown man's penis. I just remember saliva coming from her mouth as she pulled off. We quickly skipped him but now we cannot get the image of her out of our minds. We are frustrated because we can't do anything to help her out or anything to incarcerate him. I also came across someone who said that he had links to porn involving children aged 9-14. I write this complaint in the hopes that you are aware that your website is being used to support the abuse of children and possibly the trafficking of children and child pornography. Please do something.

Omegle child pornography

I decided to go onto the unmoderated section of omegle and saw a girl (looked about 5) giving a grown man a blowjob. I dont know if you guys can do anything about this, but please try. That child is getting abused and he is showing unsuspecting people for his own pleasure and its [censored]ing disgusting.

I wasnt able to get any sort of evidence since he stayed on for about 5 seconds.

Omegle I was wrongfully banned

i have not and will not violate any of the terms of service for omegle. i was wrongfully banned for reasons i can only describe as childish and petty. the last stranger i spoke to reported me simply for having a differing political opinion than him. he asked what i considered leftist propaganda and then when i gave him my answer he left and i found that i couldn't move on to the next person because i have been banned. please fix this as soon as possible.

Sajnos pár perce kitiltottak teljesen igazságtalanul Egy pár napja kitiltottak helytelen viselkedés miatt.Gondolom észrevették hogy ez nem történt meg hisz nem láttam és nem látott senki.Most visszakapcsoltak és egy ora mulva kitiltás ugy hogy az omegle nem hozott össze senkivel. Akkor mi a bűnőm ?Semmi értik semmi.Tetszik az omegle de ha nem engednek itt lenni akkor nem probálkozom.De ez A MAGUK HIBÁJA ÓRIÁSI HIBÁJA

Nem tudom megosztani a hibámat mert nem volt senk nem látott és én se senkit!

What the hell. I'm banned from Omegle for the second time. the first time I had inappropriate behavior, but now? I did nothing, maybe is that everyone skips me and Omegle mods thought I was a troll or something? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Omegle should not allow people that hide their cameras and search for women to "talk"... Bro, last time I used the app I was 30 straight minutes waiting for someone to talk, and everyone was just people m*********** and skipping me for no reason. This isn't cool at all, Omegle. unfair bans and still a lot of problems. I can only ask you to unban me, or something.

Omegle banned

I was recently banned on this app. I believe someone reported me just to do it. I have never done anything inappropriate or harassed anyone on here. I would greatly appreciate it if u can help me resolve this issue. I would love to be able to get back on as soon as possible and talk to new people. Many people I have met on here I have become close friends with and I enjoy to meet many more. So if u may please help me with this problem once again its greatly appreciated.

Omegle ban

Monday, June 24th around 3:30, I was chatting with people and making friends on Omegle. No spamming, no music, no inappropriate behavior. Just having fun. The person I was chatting with said he was going to get off, so we said our goodbyes. I clicked next and all of the sudden, I was banned. I can't figure out why. Will the ban be lifted? I'm 17 years old and have permission from my guardians. I will be turning 18 soon.

Omegle omegle

Someone exposed themselves to me and my friend on this website. That should not be allowed. We also experienced demonic people. There were people trying to scare us. We are only young teens and we don't like it. There should be an age restriction. We are now scarred for live from the experience we had on your website. There should be a only girls website, so we can talk and not be afraid.

there IS an age restriction. You just didn't bother to read the terms of service. It's right there at the bottom of the main page. Sure. some people ignore the rules. It sounds like you ignored the rules too. Get over it!

Omegle poor service

I was banned for no reason please read this in it's entirety.

I was on omegle this evening 6/20/19 at 8:36pm when i was doing card tricks and slight of hand magic tricks. about 2 minutes into getting nothing but good feedback. as i set up the trick for the next person i get a message on screen saying i'v been banned. Grown men flash there junk to other adult's and children on your site and nothing is done about that if you do very little is done about it. I was hoping to spread my talent through your website and share my magic tricks with people but i get a ban in return.
no one i crossed would have found me offensive in anyway other than one guy who said the N-word to me called me a fat a** unknowing of my appearance because my webcam was facing my desk no skin was showing except for my hands to proceed with my slight of hand and card tricks. I am just curious why you don't get rid of the bad on your site but instead u keep the bad and get rid of good. I am expecting an answer if i don't get one within a week. You can say goodbye to your website. and yes this is a threat. and ill set an alarm on my phone for the last 24 hours of that week. You people do a Terrible job of monitoring your site and taking care of it. You care so little That you would rather not fix the problem but ignore it. You got 1 week to reply and give me a solid answer on why i was banned. You got until 6/27/19.

ps- you banned the wrong person

Omegle uneducated ban

I was using omegle when all of a sudden it tells me I am banned. I did not say anything or do anything to harass anyone. I did nothing wrong. I read the guidelines and then had a couple video chats but then a message popped up on my screen that I was banned. There was also a man that showed his private area and I was not in the adult section of the website. Omegle please resolve ths issue.

About Omegle

Screenshot Omegle
Omegle.com is an online chat platform that connects users with strangers from around the world for one-on-one conversations. The service is free to use and does not require users to register, emphasizing anonymity and ease of use. Omegle offers several modes of communication, including text and video chat options. Users can start a chat session on the website and are randomly paired with another person in a "chatroulette" style.

One of the distinctive features of Omegle is the ability to add interests before initiating a chat, which the system uses to match users with someone who has similar interests, potentially improving the relevance of the conversation. However, if no matching interests are found, users are paired with a completely random stranger.

Omegle also includes a "Spy Mode," where a user can pose a question to two strangers and observe their conversation without participating, or be one of the two strangers answering a question posed by a "spy."

The platform has a simple interface and does not offer additional features such as friend lists, profile creation, or account history. It is designed to provide a spontaneous and ephemeral chat experience with no strings attached. Users should be aware that conversations are not moderated, which can sometimes lead to inappropriate content or interactions. Omegle includes a warning on its site about the potential for exposure to explicit content and advises users to be cautious.

As a chat service, Omegle caters to individuals looking for a random chat experience and the opportunity to meet new people without the commitment of a social network. It is accessible from various devices with internet connectivity and does not require any software downloads to function.
