Safe Internet Pledge

MonBon January 29th, 2016

February 9th is Safer Internet Day! Help keep 7 cups (and the internet) a safe space by pledging below:

I pledge not to shout at people by using all capital letters or aggressive language. This can make people feel bad or uncomfortable, and I am here to support and uplift the community.

I pledge not to plagiarize - people should be recognized for their work on original content.

I pledge not to gossip about others or reveal personal information. I will create and sustain a positive environment when communicating with my peers.

I will refrain from cursing in the chatrooms, on the feed, and in the forums as it can make others uncomfortable and make others take me less seriously.

I will be patient with those new to this site or the internet in general. We all had to learn somehow and I can do my part by being patient and kind.

I will not spam the chatrooms, feed, or forums as this can clog up the posts and prevent people from getting the support that they deserve.

I will not connect with people offsite, as this can be harmful to myself and others.

I will do my part to help keep 7 cups and elsewhere on the internet a safe place for users.


(Keeping in line with not plagiarising, credit for many of these pledges must be given to Kim Tranter on this site)

One time I was asking for help and I never got that help and some people were kind of rude to me. Seeing as though it is mention on here I want to ask. Is it a rule not to use capital letters. What if you are excited or happy and want to express yourself. I was told that a moderator can not warn you from using capital letters. Now this person was a listener so I am just wondering if anyone can give me honest clarification on this.

@Fear333

This is not an official chatroom rule :) I made this pledge based on what is considered proper internet etiquette ^^ My sources consisted of the 7 cups terms of service and the site that I linked to at the bottom of my pledge.

Thank you so much for making out this pledge so it can be copied out and put next to my computer so that at times when I am over tired or personally frustrated with what is going on in my own life, that I will continue to maintain a pleasant, empathetic outlook towards those I have contact with both on 7 Cups and in real life. The best part about this site, other than being able to help so many other people, is the ability to constantly be aware of our ourselves and have help when necessary tweaks need to be made. Becoming so self-aware can be life changing.

Thank you again for writing the pledge. smiley

@MsJessica55

I completely agree about being self-aware! I never would have thought about printing this off and putting it next to my desktop so that I can remember what I truly pledged during the harder time. What an awesome idea :)
