I got banned from Omegle and so did a lot of others?

hmmm this is a really good question... Sounds like you were reported by a user. Or you were sent a link and when you accepted the link (you accepted it by clicking it) their servers picked up on it and it flagged you. It is hard to say exactly what happened and they banned you not to stop you from playing in the site but, for your protection. They are most likely trying to locate and decipher the information and since this has happened to many it shouldn't take them long to know what happened.

Hope this helps

***edit well since you didn't click the link and it just redirected you to a new site Omegle still picked up on it and flagged you as the culprit (not saying you meant to or anything). either way they are doing it for your protection and figuring out how to prevent it from happening again. They would much rather you hate them for a ban than have you report them for abusive behavior. And yes they can be reported lose their site and all its members under these circumstances. security should be number one to any site.

*****edit2 it was from your account the incident happened. no one is saying your at fault. Like I said it is for your protection as well as theirs I'm sure they just want to find out what happened. When a site gets a flag it is an automatic response not someone on the other end just being cruel. Consider for a moment a couple hundred thousand people working at once there is no way that everyone could be watched all the time so what companies do is create programs that watch for deviant behavior when that behavior happens it sends a flag. When that flag is sent that computer program does its response and sends that information to a desk where a person over looks what happened. As you said this has happened to many so it may take a while to figure out what happened.

In the end the best that can be done is wait it out for a few days and see if that helps. If the problem don't get resolved you can always contact them. But, give them their time they are only human.

****edit3 no worries about the FBI. As a matter of fact, when a Website is created they have to put in details about who they are and an E-mail they can be located at (I have built a Website). The Web Host gets IP addresses for the creators of that site. There are ways to track and get people like that. In the end you are just a person standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
