Changes to Group Chat Structure to Foster Community
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 October 29th
...See more Hi everyone, We have recently noticed a decline in support and participation in our group chats. While we appreciate everyone's contributions, we have found that the low activity level in different group chats has discouraged many members from engaging in conversations. Many enter the quieter chats and when they see it quiet, they tend to leave which is doing no good to offer them much-needed support.  To ensure that our group chats remain vibrant and inclusive support spaces for everyone, we are making a few adjustments: * Group Chats’ Pop-up Status: The following group chats will temporarily return to pop-up status. This means these group chats will be open during scheduled discussions or as per your request. To request these chats to open, these requirements need to be fulfilled:  * At least 3-5 participants are willing to participate in a specific group chat.  * Or, they can become room support or discussion leaders for specific group chats and host at least 2 weekly sessions.  * If you meet either of the requirements, you can inform a community moderator on shift to help you open a group chat for a specific period (let’s say 60 minutes). After completion of discussion, the room will be closed.    * Re-evaluation Period: We will monitor participation and reassess the situation every month.  * The group chats return to popup chats:  * Relationship Support * LGBTQ Support * Listener Community Room Also, we updated the rotation group chat schedule after assessing the participation & support levels. The new rotational schedule is as follows: * Monday & Tuesday: Loneliness Support * Wednesday: Anxiety Support * Thursday & Friday: Relationship Support * Saturday & Sunday: Trauma Support We hope this change will encourage more active support and engagement and make it easier for everyone to stay connected. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you.   @heather225

...See more Hello teens, Welcome to the Playground!  We are introducing a new group chat called: The Playground to fuel and support the games and lighthearted activities demand. If you are also looking for a fun escape filled with laughter and friendly competition then, this is your one-stop space for all things wordplay and games. We have everything from classic alphabet games and mind-bending trivia to hilarious Mad Libs and word scrambles.  Also if you are new to any game, we are all about creating a welcoming space where everyone can learn, play, and have a blast together. The rules of participation are simple:  * Anyone can participate and ensure to be nice, and respectful to all.  * Observe before play. If you are new to a game, ensure to observe how others are playing and keep your questions to be asked at the end of the session.  * Keep the competition healthy and in the team/ game spirit.  * Be yourself, have fun, and enjoy. A big shout-out and thank you to @CommunityModIris for the feedback and idea of bringing this chat together.  What are you waiting for?  Come say hi in our playground!

 October 26th
...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I am glad to announce that we are making some changes to the requirements to become Room Supporter! What is a Room Supporter? Room Supporter is one of the key roles in the Group Support Chatroom. This role focuses on providing quality listening and support to community members in the group chat rooms. Room Supporters foster healthy and supportive conversations in the chat rooms to ensure everyone entering the room feels welcomed, empathized, validated, comfortable, and included in the group. This role is suited for both members and listeners because our members are also amazing and supportive listeners in the chat rooms to provide support to each other. How do I become a Room Supporter? Step 1. Requirements to Become a Room Supporter A. For a LISTENER, Check your profile to make sure you meet the following requirements: * No “Newbie” badge i.e. being a listener for 4+ weeks * Have 2+ Group Support Chats** B. For a MEMBER, Check your profile to make sure you meet the following requirements: * No “Newbie” badge i.e. being a member for 4+ weeks * Have the “Supportive Smile” badge * Complete the “Compassion Course [https://docs.google.com/a/7cups.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbuGsqFMbaKWtCoC1WHaCJfaKfwfI8YZ62CsqTI2BzqVNwDg/viewform]” ** If you cannot see the Group Support Chat rooms, please ensure you have [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/CommunityManagersOffice_2008/NewCriteriatoAccessGroupChatsLiveNow_281153/]Checked out the new criteria required to unlock the rooms. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/CommunityManagersOffice_2008/NewCriteriatoAccessGroupChatsLiveNow_281153/] **Listener Reputation [https://www.7cups.com/about/faqBadgesCheers.php] (listener badges, cheers, and compassion hearts) **Member Reputation [https://www.7cups.com/about/memberReputation.php] (member badges, growth points, and compassion hearts) Step 2: If you have met the above requirements, fill out the Application Form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetyJ7jp7W52-EIpqvFYLhfmpsgTW4BbzUwmi9r22OQ9AdH8w/viewform]. It takes 2-3 working days to review the application. On a successful application, you will receive the training invitation to complete it. Please note, while you wait to hear back on your application, continue participating in the chatroom & supporting the community. It will help you to become a wonderful room supporter. Step 3: Once you are contacted by a Group Support Leader with the training invitation, please read the guides carefully and complete the training. Step 4: If you passed the training, you will be listed as a “Room Supporter” on the leader board of focused sub-communities. You will be notified 1-1 by the Group Support Leader. Step 5: Visit your focused chat rooms and get to know your community members and start supporting them. Once you are a Room Supporter for at least a month & if you meet the other requirements, you can then apply to become a Chatroom Moderator! Please check out this thread [https://www.7cups.com/forum/GroupSupport_168/GroupSupportTeamCommunication_2139/BecomeaChatroomModeratorInformationonCommCenteredGlobal_112280/1/] for more information on this exciting opportunity.

To do this, a room supporter could host: * Check-ins in the focused group chat rooms * Host/ Co-host at least 1 hour per team you apply to support (maximum of 2 teams) * To support members in the chat room through active group listening. * To communicate, collaborate, and cooperate with team members and the community * To brainstorm ideas, suggestions to problem solve a challenge, and concerns with the group support team and community Thanks for all your help, and we look forward to hearing from you!

A message to group mods~ IMPORTANT
by HopieRemi
Last post
 May 29th
...See more I mentioned this in the rooms earlier, but I thought that it was too important just for the people who were there to hear it. I think it is very important that we remember that when we are in a member room, that we are wearing a badge that shows that we are a leader, so we are expected to act as such. Members and other listeners are going to be looking up to us when we are in the rooms, so it is our responsibility to make sure that we are treating everyone fairly. It doesn't look well when a member and a group mod get into a public argument. Sometimes it can be hard when a member points us out, but this is where your leadership comes in, and you have to take the higher ground and step away, swap with another mod or call for backup. Something else that I feel we should avoid is openly disagreeing with each other as moderators in the room. I am not saying we are all going to always agree, but I am saying that if this is done openly, it takes away from the support that goes for members, and arguments between mods can be confusing for the members, especially when it is about a rule. Also, I feel that if you are a new to modding on 7cups and a mod states something in the room about a rule, you shouldn't challenge them in the room. Not only is it disrespectful and arrogant to someone with more experience, but it just like I stated before takes away from the purpose of the room. One more thing, don't assume that you can be laid back in a room just because it is mostly chit chat or the room is not a "support" room. In all of the rooms, you are expected to be professional, supportive. Basically, when you are logged into your listener account, and you are in a room, you are there to support and to be an active listener. It's okay to be silly, yes, but you shouldn't be afraid to be a mod, either. You have to enforce the rules. Before I wrap up this long forum post, I want to add, for your first few weeks as a new mod, and sometimes even more than that, you really should mod with your group mod buddy. I know that it is not mandatory, but it really helps you improve and can help make sure you stay a mod on 7cups! Alright, I think I have held your time enough, and to those who actually read my whole message, thank you. - BurningEmber.

...See more Hello everyone! I don't know who else wants this, or if this is possible, can we have a Positivity Room or something like that? Some days, as a person I wanna come on this site to feel positive but most days, hopping from room to room, you don't find something like that, I don't know, but yeah, can we please have something like that, pretty pleeease? *grins* It doesn't have to be named like that, but all that should go there are discussions on positive things.

...See more The member hangout room is a space for members to... well, hang out. ;) This room is a dedicated space for lighthearted chat, and to allow regular members to connect with one another in their own unique way. It does not have a strong support component. Please comment below to earn the Hangout Key badge. This will enable you to access the Member Hangout :)
Mod Hate
by Erica
Last post
 September 3rd, 2023
...See more We are all told when we become moderators that Mod Hate is a very real thing and that we will encounter it one day as a moderator. However, a key pary of what mod hate is, it's how you react to it. With mod hate, it can be very generic or very specific. A lot of the hate is, "Ew mod go away" or perhaps something like, "I hate mods. Go away" but other times it can end up being more like, "I hate you, (your username) I hope you die because I hate mods." Sometimes the hate can extend into your PMs. When it goes into PMs, it may be even harder to remain calm. You are under no obligation to reply, remember that! With that all being said, this can all be scary and new to you; you may not know how to react so you say something that makes the situation worse out of fear and confusion. I want you to know that you aren't alone. You're not the only one who has encountered this. Us fellow mods surely do understand it. It's okay, it's not your fault. Mod hate is so real but so is mod love. As mods, we hold a lot of responsibility. One key thing we have the ability to do this is change the face of mods. It may not help everyone but sometimes, it just takes one very nice mod, one that cares, to change how members/guests interprets a mod. It's a challenge but it's worth it. Mod hate simply will not get better if we don't do something to counter it. It's up to us to help. Some really struggle with mods in general due to the "Powers" we have. Some struggle due to past mods. Whatever the reason may be for why they hate mods, remind them that you're not there to hurt anyone and that's okay for them not to like you. Don't force them to like you. That's one of the common mistakes. All we should ask for is a chance and respect. Put yourselves in their shoes.. would you want to be treated with kindness or authority? Key Points - Always be kind. - Ask for a chance. - Let them know you aren't the other mods. - NEVER misuse your modding abilities. - Be respectful - Never force them to like you. - Remain calm and professional. In the end, we are all a team. We are in this together. We are here for each other. If you're ever struggling with modding or have questions, reach out to us fellow mods!! We want everyone to shine in their role as a moderator and so many of us are willing to help!! @FrankieDylan @Erato @RainyLeaves @Alex @AnyaS @lovelyllama13 @Cory
