An idea- "One Room/24 Hours"
Hello, 7Cuppers!
I hope you all are doing well.
As you all know we have one support room and one community room open 24/7 for both adults and teens while the rest of the rooms being pop-ups. While in my recent meeting with everyone, I heard many want specific rooms to be opened, at least for a day.
So after a lot of discussions and brainstorming with the community and the leaders, we would like to bring and execute the One Room for 24 Hours plan.
Vision - Allow everyone in the community to spend a day in their preferred room for 24 hours and cherish the good old memories while ensuring support and safety for everyone.
Considering the present constraints, we cannot make every room regular. But, we can try to open an additional room for 24 hours apart from the regular rooms for both adults and teens. It will be a trial run for a month and after a month we will do the follow-up and seek your feedback to better the support for everyone.
Example- Lets say if you all voted Anxiety Support Room for Monday and Relationship Support for Tuesday and so on. So, on Monday, Anxiety Support Room will be opened for 24 hours and after 24 hours it will be closed to open another room for the next 24 hours while the rest of the rooms will be pop-ups.
We like to open 6 different rooms on 6 different days. On Sunday, regular rooms will be functioning while rest stay as pop-up rooms. To be clear, regular here means one support and one community room for both sides.
You can request to open a pop-up room apart from the regular and 24 hours room in any day as long as a moderator is available in the pop-up room.
Poll Closed
I understand it might not be the best idea but it is something I guess we all can try and figure out how it goes.
Important Note- If we find any unsupportive, unkind and disrespectful behavior in these rooms, it will be subjected to get closed. Also, it may get removed from the trial preferred rooms list! So, I request all to maintain a supportive and respectful environment in all the group support rooms.
We will continue to hear your feedback, thoughts to improve our group support rooms. We want this to work for everyone.
Please share any feedback or ideas as to what is shared above. We look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you!
The Group Support Team!

@likelymostsuccessful
Hey there, don't forget to fill out the poll so your answer will be tallied
@likelymostsuccessful It is already open. You just have to get the "Support Key" - I don't have the link though, sorry.
@KittyCat15
Only the adult LGBTQ room is open. The user you were responding to is a teen so the room is not open for them
@MonBon how should i join in the room?
@likelymostsuccessful
The teen lgbtq+ room isn't open 24/7, you'll have to fill out the survey to let us know if and when you want the room open 24/7.
@KittyCat15 how should i join
@likelymostsuccessful Heya, thanks for joining us! I'm doing my best to get the LGBTQ+ support room open more often and start up more support sessions there - I'll be posting any updates to the LGBTQ+/MOGII forums here. I hope to see you around!
@ASilentObserver
I would like to see 35+ open for 24 hours the members in there need it

Season's Greetings,
Anything is worth a try here when it comes to *chat rooms (*which are a secondary feature to the primary/main feature, the purpose of 7 Cups, which is, 24/7 help/support in 1-on-1 chats from Listeners), just as long as the rooms will ALWAYS remain badge-locked (as they are now) to avoid repeat Trolls from the recent past and new Trolls from quickly entering the rooms on a brand new Member account for the sole purpose/intent to disrupt the flow of genuine conversations.
As a former member of the coveted Safety Patrol here (in which I had spent countless 'volunteer' hours helping to keep this site safer and more secure for everyone), I saw this frustrating problem occur almost on a daily/nightly basis, in one particular chat room especially, which still makes me cringe now when I see that particular chat room as a pop-up room, then I have to remind myself that it's badge-locked and moderated. 
Granted, no chat rooms will be perfect, some rules/guidelines will be broken/violated/not observed by some individuals, no matter how the chat rooms are formatted/situated and such but at least with badge-locking firmly in place, there is now much more control over a problem that no one wants to see return here again. 
I hope the coming new year will be better and brighter for everyone around the world.
@ASilentObserver Thanks for the Post and I believe it well worth the try for sure .
''If we find any unsupportive, unkind and disrespectful behavior in these rooms, it will be subjected to get closed. Also, it may get removed from the trial preferred rooms list! So, I request all to maintain a supportive and respectful environment in all the group support rooms. '' That's gonna be a challenge. I'm personally not a fan of compassion corner returning as it had some truly disturbing trolls. Excited for this, lets see how it goes.
@ASilentObserver I love your idea
@ASilentObserver
