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!

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

Hi Juliak, thank you for letting us know that you will be on break, no worries about taking as much time as you need ❤️
Thank you for showing us some of your artwork - it looks really good and the animals are adorable!

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
@juliak1968
I'm sorry to hear about your sister, that must have been really difficult and I am glad that the art therapy helped ❤️
I hope the model club goes well, and that you enjoy it - welcome back to the team
@bookworm274
Thank you 💜
@juliak1968 Hi hi Day, thankyou for letting us know. Working on the art project and the online art therapy sounds so great, you're doing really amazing with your artwork. Please don't worry about here or anything, you're allowed a break for as long needed, and ofcourse in whatever capacity you're able to be here is more than enough for everyone. I hope everything goes super well for you. ❤
These are so so beautiful, love the shiny butterfly hehe, you otterly be proud of yourself, as am I; super proud of you! 🦋
Take good care! See youu! ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you you're very kind!~ I'm working on drawing a moose right now and I will show you when I finish it. Have a beautiful day!
Blessings, Day
@juliak1968 Aww so are you and Yes please, looking forward to it.❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou @Heather225
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
@juliak1968
Hiya Day, yes I remember you mentioning being on break, perhaps there is some confusion here. Please don't worry, you're a valued team member and we are so glad you're back! @bookworm274 could confirm things for you here! ❤

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 all, I hope you are well - Apologies for the delay in this check-in, life has been a little busy! ❤️ Please read all as there is important information

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 Thanks for tagging me :) I will be sure to fill out the form too. Is there a way you would recommend that I keep track of the amount of posts that I answer in the needs reply section?
@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.
@bookworm274 Thank you :) I am just keeping note of it on a post it in my planner 😊
@beck1
There is also this post here with some information about the tracking form, you may find something useful there ❤️
@bookworm274
Good evening everybody,
I'm back from my little mental health break and finished my art classes. I didn't draw a moose but I draw a couple things I can share. I hope you are all doing great! I'm happy to be back.
Blessings, Day
@juliak1968
Aww the detailing! Sooo amazing, you are really talented, thanks for sharing, Day and welcome back! ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you so much!~ You're the greatest!!
@juliak1968
Aww, no, youu! <3
Would you be sharing something for 7 cups birthday as well?🥰
I think the community would be honored to see your beautiful art being exhibited here!

Have a wonderful 7Cup's evening!!
Blessings, Day

@hopedreamlove - sorry, I used an old taglist, you are added to the new taglist as you have returned so from now on you should get all of the tags in the regular post!
@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
@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.
@bookworm274 Yay. I look forward to seeing the updates in the future 😊 Thanks for all of your hard work
@bookworm274
Hey there. I'm just checking in to see when I am supposed to fill in the form? Do you post a reminder each time we need to fill it out?
