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

Hi all, I hope you are well ❤️
Reminder: We are no longer using the form and will use the badge instead for activity in order to simplify. If you have any questions about this please feel free to let us know. We will still post these regular check-ins.
1) How are you in your life and on 7 cups?
2) Do you have any questions or anything you would like to share?
@bookworm274 I'm just curious how you see needs reply activity!
@AffyAvo
Hi, that's a great question! We are unable to directly see NR activity via the NR badge - the NR badge counts all forum posts. The idea behind no longer having the form is to simplify the process. We are always working on improvements so if you have any ideas on how we can better do this then please do let us know!
@bookworm274
Just a thought, maybe you could count NR posts by checking if you made the first response to a thread. Either by checking if the thread before had only 1 post (i.e. the original post) or if it now has 2 posts after you've responded but something like that to be more NR targeted.
Tagging @Jon7Cups to weigh in on this!
@Mahad2804
Hi - yes NR posts are the posts that have not had a previous response so NR replies would be those who are the first to reply to a post. In terms of counting these though, I am unsure what you mean - would you be happy to explain a little more?
@bookworm274
From a technical side, if the engineering team could be looped in, this is how you could more accurately count how many NR posts a team member has made, as opposed to all posts. This is just a vague idea, I don't really know the intricacies of the system and if it can feasibly be done but yeah, I just wanted to put it out there.
@Mahad2804
Apologies for not responding to this sooner.
We have discussed the possibility of having it so only NR posts are counted in the automated tracker, however, I think it is quite tricky to have. I am also someone who does not really know about the tech aspects of producing this outcome, so can only really raise the suggestion.
I will tag @tommy , @cheerymango and @Heather225 to see if they have anything they can add to this.
@bookworm274
there's unfortunately no feasible way to distinguish and count forum posts from specific areas. you could ask team members to submit the URL of the post(s) they replied to in NR by pasting directly into a spreadsheet. @tommy had some thoughts about this a while back
I want to provide a tip for the needs reply queue with all the threads that don't exist. If you look at the post count that will catch most of the threads that aren't really there. If it's 0, don't bother trying to open that thread.
With this example, the blue arrow shows a thread that you shouldn't bother with. The red arrow has a number (1 = the original 1st post of the thread) so this is a legitimate thread with no replies yet. I do hope all those 0s can be cleared soon with a tech solution!

@bookworm274Hi all!! I hope everyone is doing well! I'm doing better than a couple of months ago. I quit drinking 88 days ago, and my weight went down some, and I feel a lot better. My therapist texted me the other day and showed me a quote:
"The man takes a drink, then, the drink takes the man"
Blessings, Day

Hi Everybody,
1) How are you in your life and on 7 cups? I'm on day 193 without my apricot brandy, and following up with a few people I met while working through the needs reply list.
2) Is there anything you would like to share/discuss about the needs reply team and how we can improve the team or best support you? I have noticed there are quite a lot of posts that I don't feel I'm ready to answer so I do skip through some, especially the repeats.
3) Is there anything you are looking forward to at the start of this new month? I'm looking forward to pay day!~
Blessings, Day
@juliak1968
Hi, sorry it has taken me a while to respond to you.
That is great, well done 💙
It is completely fine to not respond to posts that you do not feel ready to answer - it is important to only answer ones you feel you can effectively respond to and feel ready to do so.
Hope you're having a good week!
@bookworm274
Thank you!~
Checking - I'm on day 208 alcohol free and changed my whole diet because Tuesday my doctor told me I have type II diabetes, I just gave up bread, soda, pasta and white rice. Doing very well!
Hope you are all fending as well!
Blessings, Day
