How do you deal with abuse?

If a listener is dealing with a venter in a non-compassionate way, we encourage venters to click the "Report Abuse" link in the bottom right-hand side of the chat. We regularly monitor the reported abuse logs and ban the (encrypted) IP addresses from participating in CompassionPit.

Can the listener see where I am from?

No. We only show you the listener's approximate location information so you can be sure that you are not accidentally speaking to someone you know in real life.

I love CompassionPit. How can I contribute?

The main ways are to regularly participate as a listener, and post on the CompassionPit forum with ideas about how to improve the project experience.

You can also spread the word:

Why are you so awesome?

I can't take any credit for it. I'm a product of my environment.
