"Safety is an ongoing conversation"
by Heather225
Last post
 June 27th
...See more I was having a chat with @PetiteSouris about the power of education in online safety and it got me thinking about how I view safety as an ongoing conversation. I think one of the most effective methods we have for keeping ourselves safe online is to be talking to each other, sharing experiences, lessons learned, and wisdom from our own research and experiences with safety. Some of have extensive experience, and others are still figuring out how to navigate the wide world of the internet, including 7 Cups. We prioritize safety, given the nature of our platform, and we want to empower everyone to take control of theirs. We can do this by sharing what we know! Here's where you come in: Please share some tips you've picked up on keeping yourself safe, especially as it relates to our community. There's no overcommunicating when it comes to upholding safety so let's keep talking!

Teen Safety Series: Tip #3- Take control of your 7 Cups experience!
by ASilentObserver

 April 2nd
...See more Hello and welcome to the Teen Safety Series [https://www.7cups.com/forum/safe7cups/TeenSafetyTips_2661/IntroducingtheTeenSafetyTipsCampaign_325452/]. In today’s post, we will be learning one more step. At 7 Cups, we believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to connect.  That simply means giving you the power to control your experiences. If you are feeling uncomfortable in a chat/ group chat? You don't have to. You can shape your experiences. We offer a couple of handy tools to help you feel comfortable and in control. * Block Button:  In 1-1 chat with a listener, if a listener's behavior makes you feel uneasy, you can block them with a single click. This will prevent them from contacting you again. Listeners can utilize the same in case a member’s behavior is not respectful or appropriate.  * Mute Button: In the group support chats, sometimes you might just need a break from a conversation. The personal mute function allows you to hide messages from specific members/listeners without leaving the room entirely. Also, you can report/ block them if their behavior is causing discomfort to you.  Please know, you are in control of your experiences. And, please don't hesitate to use these tools to create a positive and comfortable experience for yourself.  We are here with you to support you in taking charge of your well-being on 7 Cups. Here are a few more steps you can take: Report inappropriate behavior: If something makes you feel unsafe, please report it through the "Report an issue" [https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/requests/new/] link.    Take breaks: It is okay to step away from a chat or group chat if you need some time for yourself. Focus on positive interactions: Seek out listeners who make you feel supported and understood. Please know we are here for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us for any support. And, let's work together to make 7 Cups a welcoming and supportive space for everyone.  ------------------------- Did you check out Tip #1 & #2?

Need advice!

...See more Hello, Gentle Reader... I was wondering if there was a way on this website, that the listeners among us could discuss and learn something from one another. If you have been here long enough, you realize you use the same language mannerisms all the time, from your choice of greetings and reactions to the story you're reading. There may be good ideas among the whole group if this kind of communication is allowed. What do you think? What do you known about the rules? Thanks 😀

User Not Found LIsteners

Last post
 February 1st
...See more I would say at least 1/month I when browsing listeners within the first 9 I see one where the profile preview looks normal, with the exception of no chat now/leave a message appearing under their name. When you hover over this accounts, it says user not found and their profile links to this Not FoundOops! The content you're attempting to access could not be found. For assistance please contact the Support Desk [https://help.7cups.com/]. Why does this happen? If they do need to appear in browse listeners for some reason, why so high up?

Site Abuse Issues
by Nightowl01
Last post
 December 17th, 2023
...See more There is a problem which has been ongoing for a while here. It is to the point where I feel like quitting as a listener and leaving the site forever. It is no secret that there are certain repeat members here who are misusing the intent of this website. They block immediately upon a chat being accepted, because they are trolling hoping to find a certain type of listener who they can manipulate with their made-up stories. Sexual-oriented screennames keep popping up in the que, men looking to have an inappropriate chat with women. This is not a dating chat site! I also get many members begging me for my contact info outside of the site. They don't want to talk to me unless I go off-site. Also the same very similar screennames keep popping up in the que with the same problem every day. Obviously accounts that got deleted, so the same person comes back again and just makes a similar screenname. Why doesn't the site start blocking IP addresses so these trolls can't keep coming back and wasting our time? So what is the site doing to deal with these problems that are dragging down the reputation of 7cups? It is really making me lose my faith in humanity.
