Cupsgiving 2024: Gratitude Train for Group Support
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more Hello all,  Group Support is a significant part of 7Cups to get support. I have been part of Group Support for 7 years and witnessed how it evolved into a strong, inclusive, and therapeutic place to feel comforted, heard, and empowered.  Here are the 5 key lessons I picked up from my personal experience in group support.  * We are the group support. Group Support is not the responsibility of one person or a handful of users to maintain its therapeutic environment. It is a collective effort and everyone is responsible and accountable for it. * Compassion drives group support. We have different demographics and experience diverse challenges in our daily lives. But it is our thoughtful participation and compassion that help everyone to feel encouraged and empowered. It is our compassion that allows us to listen to someone attentively and make them feel heard. Because we know what it feels like to be unheard.  * The problem is the path. It is the core value of our community and every time there is a challenge in the group support, everyone comes together to figure out a way to tackle the problem and go above and beyond in their efforts to ensure the support.  * Continuous scaling of the support. I know many members of the group support who initially joined to share and receive support and later became part of giving support to others. Many of them became listeners and many continued to support through their member accounts in the group support. Every time someone feels heard and comforted, it means more hands joined to support others. Many inspired by group support experiences, created offline support groups for their neighborhood to bring support to their block, city, or town.  * Group Support builds connections. Many members are regulars of the group support space and they built some healthy and meaningful connections to rely on for support and accountability buddies for each other. I like the way how group support fosters care, support, upliftment, and companionship.  Group support is the outcome of the efforts including members, listeners, and leaders in different group support roles. So as we celebrate Cupsgiving, join us to recognize the efforts of the entire group support with a few special mentions for their above-and-beyond efforts.  Group Support Moderation We would like to share our gratitude for all our group support moderators for their careful and eye-to-detail work in the group chats. Their above-and-beyond efforts in moderation help to foster an inclusive and uplifting environment in the group support for all. Their proactive presence and swift actions help to de-escalate any potential disruptions to the therapeutic environment. Some of the awesome moderators of 2024 are: * @Communitymodanne * @Communitymodwillow * @CommunitymodEver  * @Suryansh, and * @Kaylabella as the top 5 moderators for their contributions in responding to the moderator requests form. 280 out of 385 requests were responded to by them until now this year.  Some of the other names included in the list are CommunitymodEden, CommunitymodIris, Kenzolena, CommunitymodCharlie, Lou73, and so on. The entire community is grateful to you for your help and support and for giving us a safe space to participate and feel empowered and heard.  Also thank you to all users who reported and helped moderators to de-escalate the situations that required immediate attention. Thank you for helping us keeping the group support safe and inclusive for all. Some of the key mentions are  * @Greenimpulse * @Heartsandrosesandpaws * @Mytwistedsoul * @Hotaru419 * @SleepingPersonForever * @Nephiliminblack * @Disneywoman * @Apeatrice Listener Support Requests We are also grateful to all listener group chat leaders for their active presence and guidance in the Listener Group Support chats. Their contributions and help in responding to Listener Support Requests helped many listeners feel heard, supported, and guided on their queries. Some of the proactive leaders of 2024 so far are:  * @Heartsandrosesandpaws * @JustSophia * @Fuechsin * @Jenna * @LittleBirdie30 are the top 5 Listener Group Support Leaders who offered peer support, chat support, and guidance to 89 listeners out of 229 requests submitted through the Listener Support Request form until now in 2024.  Also a big shout out to all listeners who reach out with their questions and seek help and guidance. It is okay to ask questions. Questions help us to explore, learn, and grow, so thank you for taking steps to grow in your listener journey.  We will continue to add more gratitude shares for our group support leaders here in the upcoming days. If you notice anyone doing great work or you are grateful for their efforts, please join us and share your appreciation and gratitude for them.  Thank you for uplifting and empowering group support chats..  @suryansh @emmae @hopedreamlove @Lou73 @Heather225 @Justsophia @Kieran000 @Kenzolena

In honor of all the camaraderie I've seen, I wanted to invite you all to share something you've learned from a peer/friend/acquaintance on 7 Cups. To start us off...I will appreciate a fellow commod, @CommunityModIris. I have learned how to be compassionate, how to be understanding, and how to invent fun new games from Iris. I hope to continue learning and being a fun 'commod.' Please share and tag below who you have learned from (make sure they're from 7 Cups 👀). And feel free to tag more than one person!

...See more Hi everyone, I was listening to this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-iLd3w1Qj0] song and decided to cover it into a community mod song! Lyrics: I am community mod, I am here for you when you're feeling fearful, We are by your side. You have my shoulder, You have my tea cup, If you ever need to hide. If you got it got it got it got it going on If you got anything going on. I am Banane I am Charlie I am Lou If you need chocolate we got it for you. I am Aaron, I am Alex, I am Kay We've got Willow to lock and rescue you, You'll be okay. I am Eden and Christine to share those cookies, Aren't we divine. I am Lucy supporting all the planets, I am Ellie to remind you that you shine. Somehow we make it all fine. I am Elliot, I am Ever, I am Jennie and I am Lynn All of us are a bunch of people, Not robots, How nice. If you got it got got it keep going on. Thanks to @xXReddMystic15Xx for creating an Aussie bot based initial version available to listen here [https://vocaroo.com/13Hn2trhptKl] and to @communicativePenny8383 for helping spread the cheer!

Community Mod Feedback Form!
by CommunityModLou
Last post
 November 20th, 2022
...See more Hey hi hellouuuu everyone! I would like to announce a really exciting initiative that those in charge of the community moderation team have created so that we, as community moderators, can get your feedback about how we’re doing. It’s called the… Community Moderator Feedback Form! What is this form? This form is a way for you to give your thoughts about how us community mods rate on a few different factors i.e. professionalism, fast response to PMs (... I know I suffer from this one), etc. Isn’t this just a report form? No! This is not a replacement for reporting. When you report a moderator, it is for a specific behavior or situation. This form is for overall feedback. But Lou, how do I evaluate you if you’re in charge of the form? I am not in charge of the form. I’m just the little robot messenger. Admin will be reading the form and providing us feedback based on your responses! Will the Comm Mods see my responses and know I sent them? Nope! While we encourage you to put your username so we know someone isn’t using the form in bad faith (for example, spamming because they’re unhappy with the mod), your username will not be shared with us. How is this useful? This can give us mods valuable feedback about our different moderation styles, where we can improve as individual moderators, and where we can improve as a team! Can I evaluate more than one moderator? Absolutely! To do so, please submit one form for EACH mod for whom you would like to leave feedback, or if you would like to leave feedback for the Community Mod Team overall, there is an option to leave feedback for the whole team. Some things to remember * Be honest! Remember, the best feedback is honest, thorough, clear, kind, and constructive. We can’t grow from mean statements. * Think generally not specifically. Make sure you’re evaluating the moderator based on all of your experiences, not just one time. * You should only evaluate the moderators that you feel you can give a fair evaluation to. Unless you’re awake 24/7 (I hope not!), you won’t have met every moderator. In fact, you might see some names on this last and think, “Who is that?!” Please only fill out the form for moderators that you have been around many times. If you have any questions, you can post below! Click here for the feedback form! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-pUArsQU2MI0pzL7CVypg12-7w-KRiRBMT60GLBQwF8kWaw/viewform?usp=sf_link] Stay great, friends! CommunityModLou

Community Mod Award Nomination Results
by TheResilientDancer
Last post
 August 2nd, 2021
...See more Hello lovely 7Cups community! I don't know how many of you will remember this but back in April, I began something called the Community Mod Awards. The community mods awards was a fun way of appreciating the amazing work that the community moderators do for us on 7Cups. When you read through the different nominees for the awards, you might notice that there are some nominations for community moderators who are no longer around on 7Cups but (Link, Taylor, Mae and Sage) but I have chosen to mention their nominations for the sake of respect for the work that they put in during their time on here. Some of the name of the categories for awards are funny and some are more sensible. These ideas were inspired by an amazing group of teens during a conversation in one of the group support rooms. There were 16 categories that you could nominate between 1 and 3 community moderators for. You will notice that the amount of votes for each category is different but this is because some users voted for more than 1 community moderator or not at all. To not spam each post with massive paragraphs, I will be dedicating each post on this thread to 4 different categories. I will announce the winner, 2nd place and mentions for other community moderators who were nominated.
