Carla M.

I've been a listener on Blah for 4 years now and have seen just about everything there is from legitimate venters to religious nuts to threats of homicide. Sometimes people go there because they have nothing to do. For me, these trolls and sex creeps aren't a problem because I, like every other listener, has the power to disconnect if I feel uncomfortable. What really bothers me is that this site has had a bot in the venter queue for over a year now. This bot starts out with "hi" and you can tell it's a bot because there isn't a typing indicator at the top of the chat window. They then link a URL claiming to be some 22 year old wanting to talk about anything. I have reported this bot probably over a hundred times and they are still there, which leads me to suspect that the site may either be behind it, or has an agreement with the website to allow it. Also, the report feature is garbage, but I understand why because it could be abused easily. My advice is this: If you are looking for serious help, go see a licensed professional in person rather than an anonymous random person online. As has been said many times in other reviews: there are people on this site who will manipulate you and try to harm you mentally. It's unfortunate, but the way of the internet.
