Omegle captcha problems

For some reason, every time I try to connect to a new stranger, I have to enter a captcha. I have not done anything to violate Omegle's terms of service. The captcha appears very small so that I can't even see the code to enter it in (see attached photo). This occurred on August 16, 2017. Please re-allow feedback on your site so that innocent Omegle users can have their issues solved easily and quickly.

Omegle I've been banned

Hello, I've been IP Banned from Omegle and I am wondering why. I myself, believe I did nothing wrong to get permanently banned. Omegle is one of the sources for my income as I am a content creator who goes on the site to sing to people and get their reactions. Its really hurting my fan base and myself as I'm having a hard time growing my fan base and my revenue. If you could please look into my ban and tell me what I did wrong, I promise if I were to get unbanned that I would never do it again. I seriously believe I did nothing wrong.

Omegle unauthorized use of my identity

Good evening,

My name is Francina Corona. I believe my identity is being wrongly used by someone with an account of omegle. Several people have been contacting me via whatsapp to my private number, refering to me by my name and I do not own an account with such server.

I would appreciate your help with such problem, as I do not wish to have my identity being used. I am willing to help with any information you need as I do not know which email is being used linked to my number and name.

Thank you in advance,

Francina Corona ([protected]@gmail.com)

Omegle cam problems

For some reason my cam isn't visible for anyone to see and I also can't see anyone else's cams. What is the problem here? This has been an issue for a couple days for me. I'm running flash and I allowed permission. I can see my cam, but no one else can. I don't know what to do, everything else seems to work fine except for the cam display for both me and the stranger.

Omegle captcha

The captcha system on Omegle is ridiculous. I don't spam, advertise, or even verbally abuse anyone. I've always been respectful towards other users. But sometimes..For some ABSURD reason, I'll type a SINGLE word that apparently causes captcha bans. This happens FAR too often. I don't even know what I said today. All my conversations were pleasant. I didn't use vulgar language with anyone, and I would remember, considering I spent most of the day asking questions, instead of answering them. This needs to stop. You aren't protecting Omegle. You aren't fighting bots, of which there are a PLETHORA of bots..You are punishing users who actually just want to have a good time, have fun conversations, and make a few people laugh. That's mostly all I've done on Omegle. Make people laugh. Make myself look stupid just so they can smile. Aside from that, I give people advice. Behind all the sex bots, and trolls, there are some very depressed people that use your site, myself included..

Stop with the captcha bans. Stop mistreating the people who have kept this site alive, despite being flooded with bots. Because we're the ones that haven't given up on Omegle..Wish I could say the same for you.

Omegle omegle chat

To whoever reads this. I wish to ask why there is no option to send pictures or media over text chat. Sometimes I'm talking with people and they want to show me something or vice verses and we have no other means to do it. For example in the past I have talked to people about my tats and they ask to see them. If either of us don't have any other means of showing each other photos or something then it retracts from the conversation. I understand that there could be concerns about pedophilia or similar issues, but that is the same for any other application. I ask for you to add an optional media share option. If people want to share imagery let them! It makes things easier. I ask you to seriously consider this proposition.
Thank you
A user

Omegle bots and camgirls over omegle.

I roleplay often over omegle. But recently it has just been filled with cam girls promoting themselves and disconnecting. It's irritating because all I want to do is roleplay. Omegle please try to fix this as this is a hobby of mine. The camgirls are most likely using bots to post onto omegle to promote self advertising. It's ridiculous! Again, omegle I'm sure a lot of other people are experiencing this problem. If it was sorted many would be appreciative. Thank you.

Omegle captcha every time

I roleplay on Omegle---I have to disconnect a lot because it won't show me people with the same interests. Now I'm being forced to do a captcha test every single time and I used to be able to fix this by giving them feedback but now there is no way to contact them and I'm really upset. I wanted to say devastated, but that'd be too dramatic. How could they do this, though? Please fix this so I can have fun again. It's one of my only outlets. My email is [protected]@gmail.com if you want to contact me.

Omegle omegle/banned for no reason

7/26/2017

I was banned. For no reason. This happens for a lot of people, including me. At the very very VERY least how long will I be banned? I can't change my IP address or anything.
Please, at also the very least, let me use omegle again without getting banned. I'm not some pedo like a lot of people are on omegle, who ARE NOT getting banned. Please actually do something, as I am bored.

Omegle potential pedophile

This person wanted to see photos of a naked 14 year old girl and have intercourse with her, i've submitted a police report and got the photos, I posed as one with the camera off and he displayed distressing signs of being a paedophile, his name is nikola from macedonia, I want this noted and sorted because people shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

Omegle banned for no reason

7/17/2017 0107 am.
I just opened the omegle page, before starting to chat I switched tabs to change the music I was playing, I switched back to omegle and saw the person on omegle said "hiiii" and before I could respond I was notified that I had been banned. The first video I encountered.

There is no excuse for this. I was completely clothed, I said nothing inappropriate, and did nothing to be banned! This is ridiculous! There should be a way to dispute a claim before being banned. The dude probably thought I was a fake webcam. I'm not trying to toot my own horn but just because someone looks good doesn't mean it's a fake camera.

Fix your site.

Omegle captcha

I'm experiencing an issue of having to fill in a captcha every time I'm swapping chats. I was wondering if there's a fix for this issue or wether I'm gonna have to keep decrypting stretched images. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. I have tried resetting my IP address but that didn't seem to work, I understand the need for increased security against spammers and I'm sure this problem is worth waiting out.

Omegle pedophily

I've seen many cases of pedophilia on omegle, by searching random common interest, finally I found out that there's a huge groupe trading links to pedopornographic pictures and videos, I was shocked so I send all the links that I found to the police. those people are using the common interest "str" or "pcloud", If you can delete this interestsand report to the police the Ip of the users, it'll be better for the site, and the child sake, thank you if you read this lines, I just want to make this site (if it's not internet) safer

Omegle I've been banned for no reason

I literally just went on the website, opened the first person (I was fully clothed and had no intention of sexual relations) and then my laptop froze and I was banned. It says that I was banned for essentially getting my bits out even though as I said, I was fully clothed. It says "if it was a mistake, dont worry, a ban doesn't last forever" or something like that, but thats not the point! It shouldn't have banned me in the first place, sort it out no please

Omegle requesting lift of unwarranted ban

For no apparent reason, I seem to have been banned from omegle.com. I was only using the text feature, and was not discussing anything illegal or even sexual in nature. It seems to be an error in the automated system most likely. (If that is even a thing that's possible.) I'm hoping that this ban can be lifted soon, Omegle is a fun, relaxing way to find people to talk to and share opinions with.

Below is the message given to me when trying to access omegle.com, as well as a screenshot.

"Your computer/network is banned for possible bad behavior.
You can still use Omegle, but only the unmonitored section. You must be 18 or older.
(If you didn't do anything wrong, sorry! Mistakes happen sometimes. Your ban won't last forever.)"

While using Omegle, I suddenly received an alert that I had been banned, and was only allowed to use the site in the 'unmonitored' section. I only ever used the text chat feature, and never discussed anything illegal or sexual. (Though I do have a bad habit of cussing)

Below is the message displayed when attempting to access the site:

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.
