Needs Reply Communication Thread (updated)
Hi team, as you hopefully know, we usually communicate via the needs reply communication thread here, but we have decided to create a new communication thread to keep updated, to keep everything in one place and to also remind everyone of expectations of the team. This also allows new members of the team to refer to this original post for the information needed.
Bi-weekly check ins are going to be posted in this thread from now on. When these are posted, please do respond as these are posted to make sure that you are okay, and that you're still active. This will also be a reminder to fill out the tracking form (click here) so that we can ensure activity from team members and to keep track of the Needs Reply teams progress! There is more information about the form here.
The monthly quota for those on the NR team is 10 responses to needs reply posts (not forum posts in general) - if you are unclear of what this means then please refer to the needs reply queue here or you can ask me. As many of you have hopefully seen, changes are being made to the offboarding process which Cheery has made a post about here - please do make sure to look at this as this is the process we will be following from now on. If you have any questions about it please do write them on the post, message @CheeryMango or myself.
It is important to make sure that members of the team respond effectively to the posts. It is important that all members of the team read this post on effective responding. If you are new to the team please do read and respond, and if you are not new to the team feel free to refresh back whenever you feel you need a refresher on effective responding or to look at it if you haven't yet - thank you!

Thanks for updating!❤
@bookworm274
All is well :-)
Blessings everybody!
PS; what is offboarding?
@juliak1968
Hi, offboarding is the process of removing someone from the team. The post by Cheery that is linked above is in regards to making sure people are active on the team so if there is consistent inactivity then there is a set procedure that everyone can be aware of.
If you have any questions about that feel free to message me or @CheeryMango or you can post on the thread made by Cheery - hope that all made sense!
@bookworm274
Thanks for clearing that up for me - Have a great weekend!~
Blessings, Day 😀
@juliak1968

@bookworm274 doing great today its almost 70 here just outside enjoying it plan to go through and pick up some nr today and i hope everyone just has a great day i was thinking it might be better to do the check ins/reminders one day before the beginning of the next month instead of the first day when the tally goes back to 0 so we can check and send it in for forgetful people like me :')
Hi @Bunny1637 here is the Needs Reply Communication Thread, welcome to our team!
I am the leader of the NR team, I post bi-weekly check ins to make sure that everything is okay and for you to give me feedback - I also remind you in these check ins to fill out this form bi-weekly to let me know how many posts you respond to so we know you are still active, that you're okay and so we can allocate your cheers! Don't worry about remembering when you have to fill out the form because we will remind you in our check-ins which you will be tagged in!
Please also take a look at the post here regarding effective replying - it is important that every member on the team look at this and comment that it has been read and understood.

Real life is tiring but making it through. I don't have any questions.
@Asher
Hey, I'm so sorry to hear life is tiring right now - I hope you get the rest you deserve soon!
@bookworm274 thankyou 💕 hope you doing ok also
@bookworm274
Hello everybody! I hope you are all doing well :-)
I've read all of the off boarding rules and something concerns me: The way I respond to brand new posts is actually a step ahead of the needs reply thread because what I do is go to Popular in Community and each post is posted there in the order it was posted, so that when I respond to the newest of posts they never end up going into the Needs reply thread. I've been doing this this way from the beginning back when we first discussed creating a Needs Reply team. Nobody has said anything to my concern but I wanted to be proactive. I've been active on 7cups daily since the start, it has helped me as my other therapy and meds and art classes online (everything is online now for me) I've gotten used to my little routine and when I am drawing a blank I start counting on the COUNT TO ONE MILLION thread lol I hope you are all doing great tonight.
Blessings, Day ❤️
@juliak1968 Absolutely nothing wrong with doing that but just a heads up, threads without any replies yet will not show there. I tend to look at threads both based on popular (most recent post) and newest (most recent thread).
@AffyAvo
Thank you very much!~ Have a wonderful day
Blessings, Day
@juliak1968
Hey, that is completely fine! As they are posts that have not yet received a response they still count towards your quota (but I will double check with @CheeryMango if this will still be the case when the tracker is specified for NR).
The reason we wanted to make clear that the posts need to be needs reply is because sometimes there is confusion and people think that responding to posts that only have one reply or something similar still counts towards the needs reply quota which it does not.
If you have any more concerns about it please let me know and I'll be happy to help to the best of my ability! Thanks for all of your work on the team, it is super appreciated ❤️
@bookworm274
Thanks so much, We all appreciate all your doing!!
@juliak1968
Hey, hope you are doing well! Just wanted to post a little update on this as @AffyAvo has provided me with some more information on the Popular section.
It is important to make sure that threads that are being responded to are 100% Needs Reply posts - this means that the original post of the thread has not received a response at all. If there is any responses/replies below then it does not count as a needs reply thread.
Therefore, if you are responding to the original posts that have no responses then that is fine and counts as Needs Reply, if you are responding to another response or something that is on a thread then that is not a Needs Reply and would not count towards the quota for the NR Team.
I hope that this makes sense and provides more information about what counts as a Needs Reply Post - soon I might do a separate post on what counts towards the quota and how to know if it is Needs Reply or not as that may be helpful.
Please do let me know if that helps at all or if there are any further questions in regards to it - thanks for all of your work on the team ❤️
@bookworm274 @juliak1968
The popular list only has threads that have a reply. This list is ordered by the newest reply (and will not count the original posts). Responding to some non-original posts in threads are beneficial and desired, as people do not always start their own thread when seeking support or asking a question, but this isn't the main focus of the needs reply team, and doesn't get counted towards the quota.
I explain how the sorting works here, popular has changed from how it used to be a while ago.
@bookworm274
Thank you very much!~ Have a wonderful day
Blessings, Day
@bookworm274
PS: another thing I do always is click the heart on every post in the Community under Popular, If we all took an extra few seconds we could really make people feel ultra supported :-)
.........................click the heart on every post!!
Blessings, Day
@juliak1968 Sooo truee, Day, upvoting/ hearting posts is the easiest way to practice kindness and make someone feel heard and supported in 7 cups. Thankyou for highlighting its significance!❤
I love this post by @Roadie: https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsLeadership_188/SubcommunitiesInformation_2314/Thevalueofforumupvotes_24368/ emphasizing the same so beautifully!❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
