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

@bookworm274 I'm not seeing anything now that needs a reply. The ones that popup appear as duplicates and then when it is clicked on, it says it has been removed. When I go to the subcommunities and filters by needs reply, it is just a white screen. I'm on my phone so I'm not sure if that is why. 🤔
@YourCaringConfidant @TreaureSeekers3
All of the threads have been responded to, the threads that still show up there are related to a glitch.
How do I sign up?
@blueHuman6457
Unfortunately sign up is closed since there is only one more day left for the answerathon. However these are hosted regularly by the team so please keep a look out for future ones so you can join in.
Is there a way to access the Needs Reply list through the 7 Cups app? Or does it have to be done on a computer? I need to work these couple of days, and it'll be nice if I could contribute more if I can access it on my phone too.

@Jaeteuk
There is currently a bug in the app that is only allowing 10 posts to be viewed at a time so it wouldn’t be the best option to use for the needs reply queue. Would accessing the site from your mobile browser be another option?
May i ask how can I become a listener? I saw a guy he is very stressed and he wants to talk to me about it in a one on one chat. How can I become a listener? Thanks.
@amusingScarf3988 I will pm you the answer
@bookworm274 After taking part in this, I actually believe I would want to be part of the Needs Reply Team. Is that something I could possibly look into doing?
@beck1
That's awesome to hear that you enjoyed being a part of it! The Needs Reply Team is definitely a great group to be a part of. You can apply to join the Needs Reply through the Forum Supporter Application and when you get to the questions that ask which community you would like to join, you can write Needs Reply. @bookworm274 is the team leader for the team and if there are any questions, you can reach out to her.
@CheeryMango Thanks for letting me know 😊 I will definitely look into it
