Needs Reply Communication Thread (updated)

bookworm274 February 17th, 2023

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!

All links in blue are clickable, if you have trouble accessing these please let me know.

Hello everybody, I wanted to let you know I am taking a month or so off to work on an art project as I have two online art therapies that both include homework, I am having fun and fulfilling a few art requests recently. Not to say I won't be responding to an occasional needs reply, and doing some counting on "Count to One Million". Here are this months drawings.

Blessings, Day

Hello,

I'd like to attract your attention to the posts above where I was letting the team know I was taking a self-care break. I only recently returned but Heather225 messaged me this the other day:

Hey there ❤️ I am messaging on behalf of the Needs Reply team. Just letting you know that you've missed 4 forms and according to the rules of the team you're being placed on a self-care break. If we don't hear back in a month or you don't send in a tracking form then you'd be removed from the team. Lemme know if you need the tracking form to submit to and I hope you have a good day! ❤️

Please reconsider taking any action against me as I did nothing wrong and I filled out the last needs reply form

Thanks again, I hope this straightens everything out.

Blessings, Day

TRIGGER WARNING

Hello, 😃

Thanks for welcoming me back, my break was good, I attended 3 different art therapies and one helped me grieve the recent passing of my sister. That was so unexpected and tragic. She had an accidental overdose on fentinal and we found out almost a year afterwards😪

Art classes have (all but 1) ended now and we are concentrating on the model club and some of us are getting into radio control vehicles.

I hope you both are doing great!!~

Blessings, Day

Hi. I just found this thread by chance. I discovered the "needs reply" list some time ago and since then I have dabbled in it on and off. I find it suits me better for where I'm at than listening. I can't commit to as many as 10 a month. And I'm not interested in cheers. So I'm not proposing to join your team. I guess I'm just saying hi to a group of like minded people. It's nice to know you are here for support if needed.

Hi @beck1 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.

You can find the Needs Reply queue here - click me!

Let me know if you have any questions ❤️

bookworm274 OP June 22nd, 2023

@beck1

Hey, unfortunately there is no easy way to keep track of your NR only posts. Currently there is a badge quota attached to the NR badge which you should have now received but that only monitors forum posts as a whole. We are working on getting an NR specific badge!

You can send in forms more regularly if that makes it easier for you - just remember to write whether it is for the first half or second half of the month in the notes section. Another way is to just keep a tally or make a note of it in the notes section available on cups.

beck1 July 3rd, 2023

@bookworm274 I filled out the form 😊

How are you in your real life and on 7 cups?

I have chronic illnesses that make me sick unfortunately. But I'm still able to be on Cups. So the flare ups are something I have been dealing with this last week

In terms of how things are going for me on Cups, I would say things are awesome! I love all my roles and love being part of this team too

Do you have any questions or anything you would like to share?

No real questions but just a little feedback. I wish that the tracker for the Needs Reply team did really track all the posts for NR and not all posts I make on the forums overall. This would be easier for me to keep track of how many threads I'm replying to for the biweekly tracker

bookworm274 OP July 7th, 2023

@beck1

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your chronic illnesses and about the flare ups, I understand that must be challenging. I'm glad to hear that you are having a good time on Cups!

In regards to the feedback, I completely agree that a tracker that only tracks the NR responses would be a lot more useful! Unfortunately, I don't handle the tech aspects for the team, so all I can do is ask others (which I have been) and we are currently in the process of getting there! We have been taking small steps, it is only fairly recently that we have gotten a tracker at all linked to the badge so hopefully soon we will be able to have a more specific one.
