Announcing New Answerathon
Hi everyone!
The Needs Reply Queue is beginning to get long so we are asking for help!
We are announcing an answerathon so that people can provide support to those in the Needs Reply Queue and make sure that everyone is heard
What is an answerathon?
It is an answering marathon of needs reply posts
It takes a lot of courage to seek support and to open up to the community in the forums, and if that post goes unseen or doesn't get a reply then the person may feel unheard and might feel discouraged from seeking support so by this we want to make sure everyone is heard and every one gets a reply! This will be a 5 day event
What is a needs reply post?
It is a post that has no one else respond to it, you would be the first person to respond to the post - these are the only ones counted as needs reply
When is it?
Monday 15th May to Friday 19th May
Who can join?
Everyone! (Listeners, members, adults, and teens)
How do I join?
You can join by filling this form
Where do I find needs reply posts?
You can find needs reply posts here
You can also go into subcommunities, click on the drop down and select needs reply
More details:
The minimum number of posts to answer for participation is 10 and must be answered during the answerathon time period
Participants will receive 100 cheers for participation
Posts must be supportive and effective replies rather than just responding to remove a post from needs reply or to get more posts and they will not count if they do not follow effective responding - you can find a post on effective responding here
For every post after the first 10, you will receive 5 extra cheers
The 3 contributors with the most replied to posts will get 500, 250, and 100 cheers
If you have any questions:
and are a teen, please contact @CheeryMango

@Waterfallsofnature36
That's great news... Don't you just love altruistic folks?
Apologies, my tech skills are pretty useless. Where do i find the posts that need answered ?
@sooty41
if you're using desktop web browser, you can head over to the Community tab, and if you look down a bit you'll see forums organized between Popular, Recent, Needs Reply and Top. The posts that are in need of response is under the Needs Reply section 😊.
I'm not sure on the mobile app version, however, as you can mostly find threads that needs reply under New section. Hope it helps!
@compassionateOak202
Thank you and that makes perfect sense to a techophobe like me !
@sooty41
You're very much welcome! Hopefully navigating between different forums will be a smooth trail for all of us 💖
I love this idea & will sign up. Thank you for the encouragement to be an encourager to others.
What are “cheers”?

The queue seems shorter already 😍 thanks for this event I'm sure it'll be very helpful for everyone 💙
Do needs reply team also need to sign up or we can reply like we do anyway?😅 @bookworm274
@Optimisticempath
Yes, it does! If you want to be included in the event then you would need to sign up as then we will create a dashboard with people's names - if you want to just continue as normal then there is no need to sign up!
@bookworm274 oki thankyou :)
