Announcement- One Room/ 24 Hours Trial going live!
Hello everyone.
Thank you for supporting the idea and submitting your room preferences! The polling is now closed and we are ready to move to the next phase!
The rooms are selected based on the majority and mutual preferences. I would say you all picked some wonderful rooms. You are wise people of our community.
Before we go further with this, I want to let you know. We hear your concerns. I understand things didnt turn out the way you all expected. Some of us have a question that why a couple of rooms are open 24/7 while other topic rooms are pop-ups! I understand your concerns and they are valid. But, I am sorry at this time we are unable to open any other topic room 24/7.
To address the same concern, we are doing our best to ensure support rooms open more which is why we came up with the one room/24 hours plan where rooms could get open on days based on community preferences.
Here is the list of the rooms with days that going to open for 24 hours! These rooms will be opened and closed at 12 am ET every day.
I hope you have a good stay and experience in these rooms during the trial phase while we keep hearing your suggestions and feedback to make necessary changes and improvements to build supportive, engaging and compassionate group support for all. Your contributions are appreciated.
Yayy for all! We are progressing towards creating a positive impact!!
Reminder- Help everyone to keep a supportive, appropriate and respectful environment in all the rooms.
@ASilentObserver Hey thanks unfortunately the day for 35+ I work and sleep. Most I know picked Monday so not sure who voted for Wednesday.
@caringPanda45 Hey Panda, I am sorry. But the most votes were for Wednesday and that is why we assigned it to 35+. Though, you will be able to open on other days and have discussions and open chats. I always appreciated your great efforts and support to keep 35+ active and supportive! You are a wonderful human being!
@ASilentObserver thanks for that. Seems to be going ok so far and yes I will be :) <3
@caringPanda45 If you open the room Monday, having a different day means that 35+ will actually be open for more hours 
@ASilentObserver
Thank you for this update, I saved the link<3.
Have a great day!
something felt abit amiss about these idea of 24 hour room.
its like that specific topic can "only" be discussed during that specific window period.
and if the opportunity is missed, either wait next round, or use the general support room.
Is my understanding correct or my mentality needs abit of rewiring?
So to understand better is that its just to have an additional room for "discussion/support" of that topic during mentioned day(s)?
Still very confused! I've been a member here for over two year and suddenly came back to no chat rooms. What am I doing wrong? Can someone help me?
@LimeGreenTortoise75 All the rooms are now badge-locked.
There are typically only 4-5 (4 rooms are consistent, the 5th rotates on a 24 hr schedule) open for long periods and then some are popup for shorter periods.
Badges and their requirements are listed here - https://www.7cups.com/forum/GroupSupport_168/ObsDesk_2008/BadgesRequiredtoUnlockSupportRooms_213011/
