i've been using yahoo chat since 1999, and it was great untill yahoo started recroding IP addresses of all users, this is chat for fun not for tracing down ppl nor to make em scared, i guess, i dunno, even though there r no american girls at military chat rooms and they all pretending to be, even by giving bad ideas about americans, damn

I assume you're asking why you can be suspended from this site if you get "dirty" on it?\nIt's because, for one, it's against their "community guidelines". This site isn't just for adults, it's for anyone 13 years old and up. Although I've seen kids on here as young as 11 and 12.\nIf you're unhappy with it, why not just go to an adult chat room. You can talk about whatever you want.

Want some candy little girl? Be afraid, be very afraid in the chatroom. You never know who you are talking to. I would not let my children enter one.

LMFAO!!! Yahoo's claiming to be upgrading the Chat rooms & features on Groups.  I don't miss it as I rarely went into one for the same reasons.  I've stuck to chatting on Yahoo's messenger & my AIM messenger.

Justin you are right. I think that any forum that doesn't screen its members is destined to become a useless cesspool of idiocy and personal attacks. Yahoo answers never was and never will be a forum for obtaining useful information or exchanging ideas. Instead it is a playground for chuckle heads.\n\nNow having said that, I must admit that I am guilty of contributing to the degradation of this forum. You are welcome to play if you want, just don't expect any enlightenment here.\n\nPeace, bro.

It's not intended to be for kids or perverts only.  It's intended to be a networking site as a way for people to communicate and keep up with one another.  It just happens that it took off for younger people quicker then it did for others.

Because its all the sicko's that make the make chatrooms, i have asked myself the same question.Most of them cant find a woman in real life, so they get on the internet. Or some that cudnt think of cheating on there gf's or wives so they do that sick shit, thinking that its not cheating.

Keep in mind that this isn't a chat room and a posting like this will often get reported. Not the first time, won't be the last.\n\nJust thought you should know. Good luck.

Supposedly Yahoo is recording IP addresses and two different users can't use this on the same computer.  But you could definitely do it from work and home and give yourself more points or be a jerk on one and good on the other.  male and female, etc.  I don't know why anyone would go through the trouble unless they're really bored.\n\nBut yahoo apparently also suspends people who hook up.  If you are responding and getting points over and over from another user that's going to show. \n\nI have made good friends with someone who gives some of the best answers I've seen and I'm now purposely not giving her points just to avoid that situation.\n\nCan't have too many groups forming up.  Then we'll start having gang wars and stuff.  Could get ugly.\n\nNo matter what you do someone has to cheat it.  It's some peoples nature.  Their mother still loves them.

I havent been here long but a lot of teh answers that I have seen are really rude! there isnt a reason for it, even if you do ask a really stupid question you dont have to be a COMPLETE jerk about it, a little sarcastic maybe but not out and out rude... I agree with the idea that Yahoo didnt want this to turn into a chat room/message board. They kinda wnat it to be a massive think-tank, I think...

Some people on this site need to let things go and "get over" themselves. I have been reported unfairly too. It is a shame that people cant seem to handle the truth about things and them reporting your Friend, me and anybody gives them a sense of control, they can delete your questions, however they cannot erase real life and so what if its chatty I have seen things on this site that would make a longshoreman blush and nothing is said.\nLike I stated before some  people REALLY need to get over themselves.

I totally agree not only do chat rooms have people trying to make money but there is also dangerous people in the chat rooms . I'm now in home school and there isn't a lot of people in my neighborhood to talk to. It's a very quiet area . why you ask? oh and do you have instant messenger if so you could problem e-mail me at rock.star53 or IM me looking forward bye.

U r absolutely right. now a days chat rooms are mainly used for discussing sex or even preparing others to discuss sex. You can call it human nature...we always use the wrong side of anything instead of using benefits. like TNT was discovered we can also use it for some positive things tht can help humans....but whtwe used it in making bombs....so its almost same here. we use negative more than positive.\nbut i would like to say tht still in these peoples u will find some good ones also.......

online chat invitations are DANGEROUS.  \nany creep could say they're young and cute, etc.\n\nhopefully no one will respond to this

No, i dont think its bad.  I think it causes problems because people dont know how to use it. If you dont want stalkers, dont put up your name and address. If you dont wanna end up talking to a pervo 85 yr. old acting 15.... dont talk to people you dont know. If you dont want people looking at your shit.... make it private.  I think its rediculous that people complain about something they can prevent. If you dont like that your 10 yr old has a page that everyone in the universe can see...... then take a step back and think about why your letting a ten year old have one to begin with.
