Jun 15 2010Chat Roulette Considering Anti-Peen Filter

Seen here using the website to expose myself on a typical Tuesday morning, Chat Roulette is considering running anti-penis software that will censor and ban dongs. Boo!
Its 17-year-old Russian developer Andrey Ternovskiy is believed to be looking at implementing a service that may add software that 'can quickly scan video to determine if a penis is being shown'.
The site will also flag up those users who are frequently 'nexted', or who people do not want to remain chatting with, as this will usually mean that they are engaged in something rather unsavoury.Some users did not seem so keen on the idea of censoring what is one of the internet's wilder websites.
'So if you remove the spectacle, what is left? Only, Banal, and uninteresting conversation, which will send chat roulette into the dead pool,' wrote one Chatroulette fan on a forum
Wow, I couldn't have said it better myself, anonymous Chatroulette fan. NOW SHOW ME YOUR PENIS!

Thanks to Peterman, who, despite his name, swears he's never exposed himself online.

I've got a better solution.. How about we put moderators on there that can simply ban people outta it? Makes more sense than some penis sensor.

As long as it only works for dongs, yeah, go for it, you know what I'm talkin' bout!!

Wow, so, okay, some users are pissed off that they can't act like vulgar little twats. That makes total sense.
Frankly all you need is a rating system implemented, let the community decide what's appropriate, enough dings from the public go onto your account, insta-ban. It's that simple.

Peepee flashing via webcam could be considered sexual harassment I guess. If so, I was sexual harassed 36 times the first and subsequently last time I tried chat roulette. The censor should probably just be made an option for users (who should know what they're in for anyway).

I'm starting a service called chattoilette where you'll be banned if you *don't* expose your penis. 8====D~
Unless you're a girl. And I know the site will be flooded with girls.

Is it bad I expected the writer to say "hit the jump to see the dong in all it's uncensored glory"?

I'm against censorship on the internet. I mean, you know what to expect when you go on this kind of website and this is exactly why I don't go. I don't like a software or someone else decide for me what I can see and what I can't. I have something way better than a peener blocker called the sense of good judgement or what we call G.B.S.

Hey! I go on ChatRoulette for those banal conversations. Eff you. Why do I wanna see dick all day?
16. seek890 - June 15, 2010 5:15 PM

20. kevinrocks - June 15, 2010 11:17 PM
you know what about the amount of boobs on it there are also women who do it too I've actualy waved through all the dicks just happens the higher percentage of users is men, the other is girls and ppl wanted to get some comedic shock at the flashing and wierd shit. the rest boobs only about 5 percent left over want to have a legitimate friendly encounter

I've got a good idea- how about having two different areas of Chatroulette? On one side you have the uncensored stuff & the site warns you that nothing is censored & that if you go there, there's a chance that you'll see peen.
On the other side you have the censored stuff & you'll be warned that there's going to be an anti-peen filter that will kick you out if you flash people.
Then on top of that they could have people sign up with accounts like Amy suggested. It'd still be random & if you do something that violates the site's terms (child molestation, nudity in the censored part of the site, violence, threats) then it will ding your account & after a while the account will be banned.
22. Boodle - June 16, 2010 12:44 AM
Of course there'd still be the people who would break the rules & just keep signing up, but having the separate sides of the site would placate the people who go on there not wanting to see peen.
To be honest though, most people *do* go on wanting to see it- just so they can laugh & say they got flashed on the site. I also agree with #14- I don't like that Chatroulette is going to automatically censor stuff on the web. Even if it is peen I don't want to see, *I* want to be the one who decides what I do & don't watch.

If Chatroulette does this, how long do you think it'll be before either another site comes out claiming to do the same thing or before Chatroulette starts charging for you to access a "totally uncensored site- just $5 a month!"
24. dparks - June 16, 2010 1:14 PM
What if I put a little hat and Sharpie little eyes on it?
25. Rocket Raccoon - June 16, 2010 1:24 PM
The flagging people who get nexted a lot won't work as every dude gets immediately nexted anyway!

so is the geekologie write really uncircumcised? the text covering says "all-natural"
27. 42 - June 26, 2010 7:20 PM
FAProulette.com seriously it's real.
28. Wow.. just wow - August 5, 2010 9:08 PM
wow.. just freaking wow.... really? It wouldn't be a good idea to block out 65 year old creeps jacking off when you know damn well thatr there are kids who use the site, thinking it's "funny" or "cool"? Do you think our Russian friend made Chatroulette for a porn site? Didn't think so... such a good idea, but people like that always ruin it... I'm easily pro-anti-cock/balls why wouldn't anyone be? Do you REALLY want to see that? If so, go to a gay porn website for Christ's sakes.... fuck, this is disguisting me... seriously, fucking perverts...

Instead of trying to come up with a cockblock script, why don't people just tell all the wankers just go to adult friendly chat roulette sites like http://www.gaychatroulette.com ?
30. Chatroulette ban - January 24, 2011 4:03 AM
You can easily bypass chatroulette ban by using a proxy or VPN.

If your Ip
ise banned for chatroulette use a VPN service.Is working.!
