7 Cups 'Unsung Hero' Shout-Out Appreciation Challenge
Hello all of you Awesome Listeners!
Aside from all the great work you do here, I am presenting a challenge beginning Sunday, July 3rd through Saturday, July 9th for all of us to give a HUGE Shout-Out to our UNSUNG HEROES!
Who is an 'Unsung Hero?' Glad you asked! We often send Shout-Outs to our Listeners who are part of many projects and are well known in the Community. However, the foundation stone Listeners of 7 Cups are our 'B' track people who are jaw-dropping amazing and have awesome numbers here because their concentration is on Listening and/or Supporting and doing it well.
Who qualifies as an Unsung Hero? A Listener who has reached high goals here with astounding amounts of chats in 1 on 1 and/or groups. Someone you won't normally see in our Shout-Out arenas. Someone who derserves great praise for uplifting 7 Cups to great respect while staying in the background. These are people you won't generally find in any leadership program or team.
How do we find Unsung Heroes? It can be a challenge, so I challenge everyone to be looking up profiles in chat rooms, 1 on 1's, browsing Listeners or by simply knowing a Listener with whom we could have not gotten to where we are now without! As this challenge coincides with 7 Cups 3rd birthday, I'd love to see 3 Shout-Outs per post.
**Please post your Shout-Outs with the Listener's name, and list the credentials from their profile that make them an integral part of 7 Cups**
"We are thousands who march to fight darkness and depression; support illness,
anxiety, fear and rejection. We mark forums with praise, for those who make us
proud. But buried in thousands, some are lost in the crowd. Silent heroes who shine
with a healing word; tirelessly working so all can be heard. Hail we here these
great profiles where rare badges are hung; and shout Hooray!
and Thank You! to those yet unsung."
*A possible badge for this challenge is being discussed but not yet in the works. Suggestions welcome.*
HAPPY HERO HUNTING TO ALL! 
As a Lead-off to this challenge I'm proud to give MAJOR Shout-Outs to:
@necrodeath necrodeath is a Virtuoso who started 7 Cups in November of 2015. Necro has an amazing 2,866 chats under their belt, 375 ratings and 108 wonderful reviews! Necro is one of the few who have the Knighthood of Smiles badge and also has participated in 161 Group Support chats to help others.
@RumpleSteeleSkin RumpleSteeleSkin started as a Listener for 7 Cups in August of 2015 and is a Proficient. Steele has 508 chats, 570 Group Support chats and 671 Listener Group chats. WOW! What I love about Steele is their willingness to help other Listeners and keep Group Rooms supportive!

@AutumnLeigh
Thank you so much for your words! It means a lot. I really don't go out in leadership or any sort of forum or community owing to my very busy schedule, and keep to myself and help members as much as possible. So, it means a lot when someone tags me in any forum post/ anything in general. Makes me to keep myself in this community and help more people
Thanks and cheers!
@necrodeath
This is EXACTLY what the purpose of this challenge is for. Thank YOU so much for donating your time and talents!
@AutumnLeigh
The pleasure's all mine. You were up for badges and suggestion, personally I don't this due to the badges or reviews. However, most of the listeners here will and am sure, gets very happy to see a new badge pop up once in a while. So, a badge will be really welcome boost for these "unsung listeners" who devote more time to helping members and work in the background in general.
@necrodeath Great job. You are really an inspiration to other listeners here on 7 cups, for those who work in the background and contribute to the community a lot just for the purpose of helping others.

@katangel
There's a few people I want to shout out here:
@00Gatsby00 - with a whopping 7461 chats, this person has clearly gone above and beyond. A simple profile, but a meaningful one. Gatsby, you're a star in my heart.
@AndreiTheListener - 8588 chats, a 5 star rating and named "a lovely man with a big heart". I certainly don't doubt it. Andrei, you are incredible and I hope you realize how important you are to this community.
@akademia - 2732 chats, 5 stars, a simple but powerful message and a demonstrable big heart (great username by the way!)
The list goes on, but I wanted these three listening powerhouses to know I recognize and appreciate them.
@Arxxxh - Arwa is so beautiful both inside and out, she is so amazing and dedicated to helping build a peaceful, supportive atmosphere in Group Support; even 7 Cups as a community. I can tell that the site means a lot to her, and so do the people within it. She is loved by practically the whole of the listener community and I just wanted to let you know Arwa that what you do for us is very much appreciated. We love you so much <3
@ProfessionalShoulder56 - I know Sammy isn't with us on 7 Cups at the moment, hopefully if she returns this will be a nice suprise for her and a nice welcome back. I just wanted to let you know that what you have done for me, and a whole load of us teens on 7 Cups is absolutley amazing and you're a very funny, cheeky, chirpy person and never fail to put a smile on our faces. We love you Spammy keep it up :P <3
@iH0pe - Anne-Marie is one of the nicest people you could meet on 7 Cups, always popping her head in the chats to make sure everything's okay and always on hand to help out. She is such a beautiful and inspiring person, and Anne-Marie just note that we love you so much <3
@ConBon - Connoot is one of the most inspirational people you could meet on 7 Cups; hes been through so much but lets face it, nothing can stop him fighting for a good life. His gratitude, and his bravery is admirable and we love him so much <3 Connoot, keep it up because you're absolutley awesometastic amazing :P <3
@JustKeepSmilling26 - Amy is dedicated to helping out both in Group Support and 1 to 1. Her passion and her commitment to building a sustainable and safe community for us all to support one another in is absolutley fantastic and for that, we love and admire you Amy <3 Thanks for being such a great friend and such an awesome person <3 Ly :P
There are so many more names I could add to this list, those guys just spring to mind <3 Thanks everyone for being so amazing <3
✴ @DatBenchOfWisdom ✴ awww this honestly made my day Myles ;-; thankies so so much !! You're such an incredibly lovely thoughtful and kind person and you're always encouraging and cheering all of us on !! You're a really special friend and inspiration to me and tbh you're the dictionary definition of awesome-sauce 
I want to give a shoutout to @Liz1000 ! She may not have as many reviews as some others, but she is a fixture in the LSR, and she is always super welcoming, helpful, professional and polite and is in general a sunny presence, who unfailingly makes the room a better place. She does a lot of peer support and an occasional quick mentoring right in the room, badge or no. She is a true unsung hero, and her one-year anniversary last month was a bit low-key, even though she is universally liked and appreciated in the listener rooms.
Maybe we need a Liz badge for those who make the listener rooms a better place without being front and center!
@JoyCS thank you <3 you made me feel all warm and gooey inside :D you do great work too, keep it up!
Going to go one step further and making a SHOUT OUT to.....drumroll......
