ChatHour This site sucks, sucks, sucks

Let me tell you the reasons why this site sucks.

The first issue is that there's no real moderation team. Because of this, every single other complaint I and others have made about this site often are as bad as people make them out to be, if not much worse. While the site is relatively small and obscure, it desperately needs an effective moderation team to clean the house.

However, this is not the worst issue. The worst issue is that there's an overabundance of pedophiles on the site, many of whom seem to have been using the site for a number of years now without consequence. Maybe Chris Hansen should be using this site for his Hansen vs. Predator show, because he could have a field day with it and get enough content to keep the show running for a few years.

It's honestly a wonder that there hasn't been any kind of huge sting operation based around the site. A large number of the adults who use the site are pedophiles or are so close to it that they're only not pedophiles because of a technicality in the dictionary definition. A large number of the teens on the site are really just adults pretending to be teens so they can solicit sexual conversations (and possibly even nudes) from actual teenagers.

There's no truly effective safeguard to keep a pedophile from contacting a child on this site. While a minor's profile will initially be set on a safe mode that prevents anyone over a certain age (that age is calculated with the half your age plus seven rule in mind), this safe mode is easily turned off and there's nothing preventing an adult from sending a message to a minor if the safe mode is turned on.

While you might consider this a petty complaint, consider this: back when MySpace was a thing, anyone under 16 or 18 would automatically have their profiles set to private. If memory serves me correctly, it'd be difficult for anyone to get into contact with you if your profile was set to private on MySpace, and this was back in 2008 or 2009. Hell, even for a site that's arguably still relevant today (and, even though it's not necessarily mainstream, still a lot bigger than Chat Hour), Interpals prevents anyone over 18 from contacting someone under 16.

There's no reason why, in 2018, Chat Hour couldn't have a similar set of safeguards in place. If the people who own the site want to make the argument that the site is primarily for people to set up hookups and flings and stuff of that nature, that's fine; but if they want to make that argument, there's absolutely no reason why kids should be able to use the site to begin with.

Of course, to enforce any kind of age limit would require the site to have some sort of effective moderation team. As it stands, and as I mentioned at the start of this rant, there is no effective moderation team on this site--even the stuff that does get reported is often left there for weeks or months after it was initially reported.

Even something as simple as the 13+ age limit in place is sometimes left unenforced, which means there is the occasional profile belonging to someone claiming to be 10-12 (or, in once case that I was unfortunate enough to encounter, someone claiming to be 7), is left there. I do have to wonder what the credentials of the moderation team is, given how poorly they enforce this one simple rule.

If you happen to be a furry or someone with an incest fetish, don't worry; because Chat Hour has heaps of people into the same stuff as you. I suppose once you know there's a bunch of pedos on the same site, that picture of an anthropomorphic wolf doesn't seem so weird after all.

That's kind of the story of Chat Hour, really. You end up running into a bunch of bizarre fetishes you wish you hadn't heard about.

A few paragraphs ago I touched on adults sometimes claiming to be children on the site. The problem of fake profiles is also hugely prevalent. Many of them are quite obviously fake, too; using pictures of models, porn stars, or of the scene queens that were popular ten or twelve years ago. You would think that this practice would go away in the long term because people would call them out on it, but the culture on the site seems to largely turn a blind eye to this.

I should point out that, at least in the last year or two, people have been less inclined to use pictures of the scene queens from the '00s. I don't think this is reflective of the culture on the site getting cleaner as it is the people on there realising that people are going to recognise a scene queen more or less instantly now. There's still a lot of people on there with emo in their username, so I guess if you're looking for someone to talk about your love of Paramore and My Chemical Romance with, Chat Hour has you covered.

There's no real limit to how many accounts a person can have on here. It really only seems to be limited by the number of email accounts you have, so a dedicated person who's been on the internet long enough to have accumulated a large number of email addresses can set up a dozen accounts today if they're so inclined.

Because of this, it's difficult to really assess how many people are actually fake on the site. You know a lot of these people probably have multiple accounts, so it could be ten people who have fake accounts or it could be a hundred. You'll never know for sure unless you buy the site and start limiting how many accounts can be associated with a single IP address.

Unfortunately, even a lot of the real people on the site are only on there to discuss sex. So when you do find someone who you can have a decent conversation with, it's like finding a diamond in the rough--you just don't see it that often.

A lot of the time, even these clean chats will disappoint you. Either they'll turn sexual after a while, or it'll be some weird dude like brocleanchatonly who seems to have a weird fetish for LGBT+ women to the point they're the only people he'll talk to on the site, or the people aren't anywhere near as smart as they'd like to pretend.

I'm honestly not sure what's worse about the site: the number of fake profiles on there, or that the people who aren't there to just talk about sex are often pseudo-intellectuals who want to talk about stuff they only have the most basic understanding of. Word to the wise, guys--if you want to debate politics or religion on a chat room, you probably don't have enough of an understanding of the subject o be doing that.

Of course, the pedophile problem is the worst problem; but there are a lot of other issues there.

While there may be some argument to be made that if anyone tried to impose some level of decorum onto the site it'd go out of business, it often amazes me that the site has remained in business for as long as it has. How the site hasn't been the target of any kind of lawsuits or police investigations that I know of is beyond me, because I think a federal-level police team or lawyer could have a field day with this site.

ChatHour Chat Room Caveats: Casual Conversations on Sensitive Topics

This is a website where you can chat with other people about anything you want. There are rooms for discussing politics, religion, and sex, but be careful because some rooms have biases. If you post something silly, the moderators might get angry and give you a warning. They might even know your email and mac address. So, be careful what you say!

ChatHour ChatHour - Decent Platform for Worldwide Chatting, But Beware of Trolls and Scammers

I've been using ChatHour for a while now and I gotta say, it's not too bad. I've met some pretty cool people on here and had some interesting conversations. However, lately I've been noticing that there are a lot of trolls and fake people on here. It's pretty annoying, to be honest.

One thing I've noticed is that there are some people who use weird usernames, like WillyTrev0r, BejaPrince, HandsomeSr, CuTGirl, KillaCamJR, WendyGibson, Gintre, Dwayne101, Melisa0 and more. I'm not saying that all of these users are fake or trolls, but you definitely need to watch out for them.

Despite the trolls and fake profiles, I still think ChatHour is worth checking out. There are some real people on here who are looking to have genuine conversations. And you never know, you might even make a new friend or two.

Overall, I'd say that ChatHour is a decent platform for chatting with people from all around the world. Just keep in mind that there are some trolls and fake profiles to look out for.

ChatHour ChatHour Review: Beware of Creepy Pedos, Fakes, and Drama Queens

ChatHour aint all that. Its a place where all the weirdos are - especially the pedos like that one guy who uses a bunch of different names like scooter53, scooter54, scooter55, yayaokright, landandwater, manfrom, HugeRack, EnormousRack, and fool53 (just to name a few - there's probably more). So if you got kids using this site, you better watch out cuz there's some creepy people lurking around. And don't even get me started on all the fake people and drama queens. It's like everyone is trying to pretend to be something they're not. Overall, this place is a total $#*!hole.

ChatHour Unexpected Laughter and Unfortunate Encounters: My Experience on ChatHour

So, I tried out this website called ChatHour (chathour.com). At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I decided to join the teen chat section. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but boy was I wrong. I met a group of people with the funniest sense of humor. Zac, Craig, Benji, and Heni had me laughing so hard I almost cried. Their jokes were so hilarious, and I couldn't help but enjoy every moment of it.

However, not everything was all sunshine and rainbows. I unfortunately fell victim to someone by the name of Ekofy also known as musicislife. This person lured me into his RV, which was a bit bizarre if you ask me. He then proceeded to do something unspeakable - he fondled my toes. Yes, you read that right. I was so disturbed by this experience that I ended up in a Valium-induced coma.

Overall, ChatHour was an interesting experience for me. I got to meet some pretty cool people, but unfortunately, I also had a run-in with someone who wasn't so cool. Still, I would recommend this site to others, but just be careful who you talk to and what you get into.

ChatHour Beware of ChatHour: A Nightmare of Hate, Perverts, and Pedophiles

ChatHour (chathour.com) is a website where you can chat with people from all over the world. However, my experience with this site has been nothing short of a nightmare. The rooms are filled with hate, perverts, and even pedophiles. It is a disgusting place, and I would strongly advise anyone not to use it.

There is no way to report the bad behavior of some of the users on ChatHour. You can email them about a complaint, but they do nothing. Even if someone threatens you or posts your private information, the moderators won't do anything about it. It's like they don't care about the safety of their users.

It is evident that no mods are actively monitoring the chat rooms, except for the 'censored room'. And even in there, the moderators are unfair with how they monitor the room. They ban innocent people without any reason, and the perverts and trolls remain. It makes no sense, and it is frustrating when you have done nothing wrong.

In summary, ChatHour is a terrible website to use. The negativity that you will encounter there is not worth the time. The moderators are incompetent, and the site lacks proper security measures. It is no place for anyone who values their safety or wants to have a good time. Don't waste your time or energy on this site.

ChatHour ChatHour Review: Overwhelming and Unsafe, Not Recommended

So, I recently signed up for ChatHour and honestly, it was quite overwhelming. As soon as I logged in, my inbox was flooded with personal messages from strangers. I wasn't really sure how to respond or what to do about it. But one stranger, who identified themselves as Dolcett, asked me if I wanted to try human flesh! Can you believe it?! I was so shocked and disgusted that I immediately reported them to the site moderators.

But it doesn't end there. I also found myself in a heated debate with someone about politics and it seems I must have offended them because they started sending me very disturbing messages threatening me with rape and murder. The level of hate and violence in that chat room was appalling. People were openly discussing the most hateful and disgusting things I've ever heard. I honestly can't believe that a website like this exists.

I want to warn others about my experience with this site, which is why I took screenshots of the messages I received. It's important for people to know what they're getting into before they sign up for something like this. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend ChatHour to anyone.

ChatHour Review: ChatHour is a Haven for Harassment and Hate Speech - Stay Far Away

ChatHour is absolutely terrible. If you're looking for a place where men will treat you terribly, pedophiles want to have relations with innocent children and hateful comments about transgender people are rampant, then sign up as soon as possible. I'm so sick of all this madness, I've been emailing the admins relentlessly to try and get some sense of order and organization on this site. Unfortunately, the admins don't seem to care at all what goes on in the chat rooms. Can you believe it? It's funny because their previous hosting platform shut them down after discovering all of the chaos that was happening on the site. I truly hope that this website is taken down once again, and hopefully, this time, it will be gone forever!

ChatHour Stay Safe on ChatHour: Understanding the Risks and How to Protect Yourself

ChatHour is an online platform where you can connect with people from all over the world. While it offers many chat rooms for various interests, it's important to be aware of the potential risks associated with using this site.

Unfortunately, many of the chat rooms on ChatHour are dominated by sexual content and may not be a safe place to meet someone. There have been reports of child abuse and many users promoting sex cams. While ChatHour tries to make their site as secure as possible, the reality is that it's not easy to monitor every interaction that happens on the site.

Dating sites have similar issues, with fake profiles and no background checks. Upgrading your account can also be costly. It's important to scrutinize photos carefully, as many of them may be fake. You never truly know who you're talking to or where they are located.

In addition, there are many chat rooms on ChatHour that are not suitable for children. It's imperative to never reveal personal information or post any photos - real or fake - in these kinds of rooms. Unfortunately, the consequences can be severe if you do.

Ultimately, ChatHour can be an enjoyable way to connect with people from all over the world. However, it's important to be cautious and understand the risks involved. Make sure to follow the guidelines put in place and use common sense when interacting with others on the site.

ChatHour ChatHour: A Dangerous Site for Children - My Experience as a Concerned Parent

I'm just an old-fashioned dad and I have to say, I'm not impressed with ChatHour. I mean, first and foremost, this is supposed to be a site for chit chat and friendly messaging, but it seems to me like it's more of a hook up or dating site. And that's not even the worst part, let me tell you.

I was giving my 12 year old son his tablet this morning and found some messages from someone who looked like they were around 17. I mean, what kind of person talks to a kid that age online? It's sick, I tell you. I'm pretty sure it's a child molester, and I'm gonna do everything in my power to bring this site down.

The owners of this site better watch out, because I'm going to file a lawsuit against them. There's no way that teenagers under 18 should be allowed on dating sites like this. As parents, we need to take a stand and shut down places like this that allow our children to be preyed upon.

It's a scary world out there, and we have to protect our kids from the dangers that lurk online. Forget about cyber bullies and scams, we have to worry about actual predators trying to hunt our precious children down. ChatHour may think that they're doing something innocent, but it's clear that they don't care about the safety of our children.

As for me, I'm going to do everything in my power to bring them down. I just hope that other parents will take note and do the same. We can't let this kind of thing continue, and ChatHour is just the tip of the iceberg.

ChatHour Inequality of treatment.

Chathour has unbalanced moderating rules. They ban only certain clones, and let others flourish even if you attempt to kick them from the site. What it boils down to is, they play favorites, instead of treating all chatters with equality. They cater to pedophiles, rapists, and other criminals...letting them post pics of young males/females, etc. with no recourse. This site is full of drug addicts, criminals, and former criminals. They don't moderate the behavior or chatting of numerous sexual deviants, stalkers, etc. but instead pick on those who are unfairly trolled. The site is dying but those who remain do not have any standards to follow, little moderation on what is truly vile behavior, and there seems to be no hope of it improving.

Desired outcome: Check the site's rooms to see how people are allowed to bully others, with no punishment.
