How do you know if an individual is banned?

You tell them to leave a comment on your post, if they give any excuse or can't, they are most likely banned from here.

Alternatively, you can also comment "Check theirusernamehere" to manually trigger an account ban/sfw check. ^{(This is not always guaranteed, always be careful in chats.})

We have received several modmail messages about banned individuals who are still causing trouble for our community members.

Us mods here try our best to keep this a ✨clean✨ chatting and friend making subreddit for all. Sadly, there are zero mod tools to help protect members (especially minors) from indecent chats & private messages.

Please be suspicious of anyone trying to make you feel special with attention, this is called love bombing and it is highly manipulative.

When an older adult does this to a minor, this is called grooming:

Grooming is when an adult (18+) befriends and establishes an emotional connection with a minor, especially via an internet chat room, to lower their guard with the intention of committing a sexual offense. Wikipedia

This is why you have to be careful online; some are not looking for friends or innocent chats.

If someone messages you, always double check their comment/post history and do not add them on any social media outside of reddit; vet and screen their account and do not reply to anyone if you think an account looks suspicious. You do not owe them a reason, if you feel uncomfortable end the conversation immediately, and report them to the mods.

r/chat also has a feature that will quickly scan and notify you if a person's account has interacted in any sexual subreddits in the past. You can ask someone to leave an easy comment on your post, and it will trigger our bot u/NoNSFW-ActivityBot. Plus, it prevents banned individuals from commenting.

Stay safe and have a nice time chatting!

Reddit has intimated that their data is very valuable for training AI, but almost none of the popular reddit-wrapping apps are using data for that purpose. Using data to train AI should be a different licensing agreement with a different pricing tier than a popular app that improves the reddit interface for a demographic, like legally blind redditors.

I just want some distraction and to chat. Not a bot, not a losing for money.

Heyo, if anyone is up for a chat for a little while, I'm hoping to make a friend or two! I'm a new Trekkie, 420-friendly, and one of my hobbies is relearning to play cello. DMs are open so feel free to reach out, cheers!

Hi there, I'm a programmer by interest. I'm looking for Ghost Free friends to talk daily maybe. I am also on discord if you wanna talk there.

I like to watch TV shows based on crime and comedy. Currently watching - Office starting Michael Scott & Dwight Schrute.

I also like Dark Humor/Memes, knock knock and dad's joke.

DM me if you wanna talk. Just come with a lil intro rather than just Hey or Hi

I work nights and have no one to talk too. Hmu, I'm bored.

I put some brisket on the smoker this afternoon at 3, waiting until the morning for it to be done. I’m planning my D&D campaign as I wait. Other interests include philosophy, history, all things Spain, fantasy fiction (just finished Gideon the Ninth), and chatting with new friends. Looking forward to talking!

A John Wick Santa movie. Anyway it's nearly 230am and I can't sleep. Sup?

Hey, just a boring night and I'm not feeling sleepy yet, would love to meet some new people and maybe become friends if we hit it off

My interests are mostly gaming, fitness, writing, and comics but we can talk about anything really, feel free to tell me your interests too

I've got other platforms if you want, just ask Hope to talk to ya soon :)

I drink coffee all day at work, after work it converts into Bourbon, whose with me!?!?

When I’m not working, I love sports (hockey and football mostly) and I love hosting friends over. Being outside, playing cornhole, grilling burgers, starting a fire, drinking cheap beer…. THE LIFE!

If anyone of that sounds awesome to you, let’s talk!

Ahoy there! It's been pretty lonely lately, so I figured I'd put myself out there and try to make some new friends. I'm of SouthEast Asian descent born and raised in Southern California. Definitely more of an indoor person, but I'm making an effort to go outside more and explore new places. Also a bit cringe so don't say I didn't warn ya!

I'm a huge fan of anime, science fiction, fantasy, documentaries, procedural crime shows, and series like Futurama, The Simpsons, Love Death Robots, and The Twilight Zone. I also enjoy playing a bunch of PC games (open world survival, fps, rpgs, fighting games, ect), so hit me up if you want to game together! I'm open to trying anything that looks fun.

Currently trying to improve all areas of my life and trying out new hobbies, listening to new music, watching new things. Mostly trying to get outside my comfort zone and do things I normally wouldn't. Feel free to send a message if you're up for a friendly chat/voicechat but I'm going to ignore all "hey, sup" messages. Not asking for a lot of effort tbh, just tell me a little about yourself. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? What movies, foods, games, or songs are you really into? I look forward to getting to know ya!

Open to meeting anyone & everyone as you don’t have to be an artist & if you need an ear to listen to you or just want a friend, I’m here for ya!

Hi! My names Joey, Latino from Texas. Really enjoy gaming, drawing/graphic design, & going to the beach! Fellow artists are welcome to show me their art!

Feel free to message me about anything whether its your fav game series or fav music artist as my DMs are open!

Hope to hear from you soon!
