If I Could Rate Zero

I have been a chatter on Lycos for 16 years. I recently deactivated my account. For years I thought this was the way chat was and would have to accept this fact. If a chatter abuses you the only recourse is to put them on ignore. The offensive chatter gets a very light warning and can continue with their behavior. Then they create a new account to bother you again. The navis are not helpful against these types of chatters.

The owners are not involved in the daily business and leave the navis in charge. This is really bad business practice. I have been verbally abused, threatened to be banned for complaining, and told I was a lunatic. I really wanted to have nice chats especially during the pandemic.

It seems that Lycos caters to the abusive and predatory chatters. Their membership has gone down considerably. I have since found a chat where everyone is really nice and the moderators treat their chatters with the respect they deserve. They do not allow chatters to be harassed or disgusting language on their site. I love it there.

Go on at your own risk.
