    "Cesspit for nasty people."

    May 27, 2012  |   By timboathome2day

    Pros

    Paltalk was a fun place to be once.
    Good at taking your money for silly gifts or colored nic's

    Cons

    Paltalk is a place for people to make life a living hell for others because the customer service is useless, unless you wish to spend money. They spy on you in private pm's that you think are private, they turn your cam on without your knowledge & they can assess your hard drive without you knowing. Some of the red admins are totally rude and if they dont know the answer to something or the question you ask is pointed at paltalk then they will red dot you. If a co-admin does not like you they will just remove you from the lobbys for no good reason, how UN-professional is that; if you have a paid nic then u have every right to be there. People steel your private information. Mr rufusjunior, your remark about "Eventually there will probably be some tragic crime committed" Too late, in a room somebody was feeling down so some of the users egged him on to hang himself on cam, so he did. So yes i think Cesspit is rather apt for Paltalk.

    Summary

    If you are a nasty person or you don't care about yourself or your privacy being taken, then paltalk is the place to be.

    Lots of online predators using paltalk handing out peoples' personal information. PalTalk does not care. Fifteen years ago AOL did a better job of policing the online predators than PalTalk does today. It seems almost as if PalTalk wants to encourage people to harrass other people.
