Omegle recaptcha

Recently I was on Omegle, and I began receiving messages. After completing the captcha I got into a new chat but was instantly skipped, and I received another captcha. This happened numerous times after. I don't know if my ip was blacklisted or something, but if there is any possible way to get rid of this that would be great, and I would like to have this fixed soon.

Today was my first day back on Omegle after having the recaptcha problem for about 2 days, and maybe after an hour or 2 on Omegle, I got banned. There was no reason for me to receive this ban; I have never done anything against Omegle's policies or terms of service. I was not nude nor showing any graphic content, I did not say any rude and/or controversial comments, and I did not use any rude and/or controversial body language (middle finger, gang affiliation signs, etc.). This is a major problem for me because what I enjoy doing, is playing piano to entertain people and to make friends, but as of the right now, I am limited to gay/pornographic video and text chat; both of which I personally have no interest in what so ever. I am very annoyed that this mistake has occurred, and I would greatly appreciate having this fixed ASAP. I would also appreciate if this never happened to anyone undeserving of a ban such as myself.

Omegle ban for talking about a community i'm in

I was talking to someone on Omegle and the person had asked how many communities I was in. I'm in several communities (groups) I'm not only LGBT but enjoy BDSM as well, They asked me what BDSM stands for and it paused for a while after I had answered and I GOT BANNED! I wasn't talking about anything dirty, I use Omegle because I enjoy talking to people and rping on the romantic and nonsexual tags, I looked up how long one of these bans are and they go from 1 week to 120 DAYS! that's more than 4 MONTHS! I don't want to be banned for something so small as this! Please remove the ban as soon as you can, This is my only form of communication to strangers as in person causes an anxiety attack. I don't know how this broke your guidelines, but I promise whatever it is as long as you tell me I'll fix it!

Omegle omegle

As an avid Omegle fan, I haven't been able to connect to Omegle in quite while. I use to connect fairly often but unfortunately i'm unable to now. It either says error connecting to the sever or plugin blocked. I've tried every avenue to connect but still to no avail. Perhaps I have been blocked for some reason that I am unaware of. Please help, an advice will be greatly appreciated. I have stuck to the Omegle policies and guidelines, thank you for your time.

Regards
Concerned Omegle user

This happened to me also, i used to be on Omegle often, then i stopped for a month and all of a sudden plugin blocked and error, i tried various solutions, nothing worked. Apparently they banned my public IP for some reason even tho i never used profanity let alone something else. I have no idea what to do except changing IP, because there is no way to contact Omegle directly.

Omegle recaptcha

Says v1 shutdown 2018-03-31 after every chat. Update the system.. You need to fix this. As soon as possible fix it. It is a system software error, I am writing in order to attain the minimum character for a complaint which I find is also unnecessary and a waste of time. You may want to get that looked into aswell as my complaint may only be one sentence long and shoudlve been in this case.

There are a lot of black screens and lags on Omegle lately, I thought it was depended by me, but it isn't apparentely because I asked for this server's issue some people and confrimed so. Can you fix and check about it, please? : (... it's always getting worse and irritating. I've also checked the website and I noticed that sometimes it's going work and some it isn't and i'm starting to think its own system isn't reliable anymore and that's a real pity because there aren't alternatives about it. I really hope you'll fix all of it and i'm looking forward to a reply back of yours as soon possible as.

Omegle underage kid

My son is only 14 years old and doesn't have our permission to use this site. We found nude pics from a 30 something year old woman. How do I get him removed from this site? I am not happy and I am contacting the authorities to give that persons information. I believe you have a lot of pediphiles on this site. Please do something! Parents beware.

Omegle omegle chat

My 13 year old daughter encountered your website from one of her friends...
Issue why is some guy asking my 13 year to show her privates?
Why is it accessible for a 13 year to chat with a grown adult?
Why are there no safeguards besides, check with your parents before going on this website?
Before my daughter told me about this instance where a man did convince her to disrobe, that this website even existed.
How do I find the ip address this man was talking to my daughter from?

Omegle minor using omegle/ possible danger

I was on omegle and I got nexted to a little girl who said to be seven years old. She seemed to have a british accent and she said she didn't know where her parents were and she was "old enough to use this site." I explained to her that not everyone is nice in this site and should be used by older teens and or adults. She became very nervous and nexted me saying it was an experiment. However, I don't think thats the case I couldnt find her after, please do anything you can from preventing small children on this site. More control needs to be placed to prevent harm, manipulation, extortion and even child trafficking.

Omegle omegle chat / video service

I am not making a complaint. My name is Sgt. Reynells and I work with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office in Hilton Head, South Carolina. I am currently conducting an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigation because you reported a user viewing possible child pornography over their webcam using your service. Due to the lack of registration and "anonymous" nature of the connections, is there any need to request information from Omegle concerning the user name provided by your company in the NCMEC complaint?

Omegle User Id: X42WUC37
Event reported: 10/17/2017 at 04:48:47 UTC

I would be happy to provide a subpoena if there is Omegle user specific information that could be obtained in reference to this case.

I can be reached at [protected]@bcgov.net or [protected]

Thank You,

Sgt. Seth Reynells

This is actually the reason as to why I am filing a complaint. I understand that the unmonitored sector of the site is often used for adult like activity. I have not been on this site in about 4 years. I decided to try it out again and I cannot believe that they let this kind of thing happen. I have left the site because I had found people streaming what appears to be child PORNography. Than I had googled "Omegle arrests" to see if any of these people have ever been arrested for things like this only to find out that many articles are talking about people arrested for using it as a means to stream child PORNography. So this leads me to sickly believe that what I saw was actually what I feared the most. This is disgusting and inhuman and the developers of the website should have some sort of safeguards in place or something that send information to local law enforcement to be reported. this site is deplorable and should be shut down immediately and those pieces of [censored] need be thrown into prison.

Omegle sexual harassment

So for the last 3 days dozens of boys have been adding me on Snapchat sending pictures of their penises. Why, you may wonder? Because a chat room called omegle, which I had never heard of, has a "bot" repeating the message "add me on Snapchat I'm so wet" following with my username.
I would like it removed, if possible, it's very inappropriate and an invasion of my privacy.
