Welcome back! Please join me to appreciate and congratulate these wonderful members, listeners, room supporters, and chatroom moderators who received some positive reviews for their contributions in the past week under Group Mod Challenge -III

Here are the reviews we received!

For @CommunityModAlex - Alex is a great host and mod in the rooms, they try to keep the room welcoming and supportive for everyone . Also is very fun to engage with in a room.

For @unique73 - They are really supportive and have a friendly approach towards everyone in the room. I love how they make everyone feel welcomed and reply to everyone's message in the room with so much kind and sweetness, also a wonderful listener, didn't made me feel left out in the room at all.

For @CommunityModElliot - Elliot is a wonderful mod, always so kind and supportive! I often doubt myself as a new moderator, but Elliot is always understanding and quick to remind me that I'm doing just fine. Elliot has helped me to build my confidence and has always been happy to lend a hand!

For @vroomvrooom - I learn so much from vroomvrooom every day! They always provide such wonderful words of wisdom in the LSC. They are a truly compassionate human being. I am grateful to have met such a kind person on this platform. Vroom is very patient and a great listener. They are not judgmental. Also, they genuinely care about people they listen to.

For @lextheghost - Lex is a very empathetic and compassionate person. Lex always reaches out to check in to make sure I'm okay. They are extremely enthusiastic in all their endeavours. I am grateful to have met them thank you for everything you do lex! you brighten my day.

For @CommunityModElliot - There’s honestly so much I could write about Elliot. He supported me from the very beginning of my group support journey. He taught me how to host. He taught me how to mod. He kept me going when I wanted to give up modding because things got tough. So credits to him for helping me become the well respected host and mod I am today. On top of all that, he’s always patient, kind, and understanding. Thank you for all that you have done and all that you will do. You make each session worth it in your own way. Looking forward to helping out again in the future.

For @CommunityModJennie - Jennie is kind and caring. She went above and beyond to check-in on me after a challenging incident. Thank you for noticing me and caring. I know the rooms are safe when she’s on shift as her response time to incidents that occur is amazing! Not to mention the fact I know she’s just a message away if I need back-up in modding any room. I know it’s a challenge to mod so many rooms at once, and you deserve more credit than you get for all that you do. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you around the community.

For @CommunityModParker - Parker is approachable, friendly, and professional. I love working with Parker during his shifts because his response time is wonderful. I know he’s just a message away if I need back-up in any room or have questions about how to handle a certain situation. As an introvert, thank you for making it so easy to talk with you about things. Thank you for being so patient with me, and clearing up confusion I had around handling certain situations. As usual, I look forward to helping out again in the future. Thank you for all that you do for this community!

For @MilaTheListener- It’s amazing to see how far she has come since the start of her listener journey. She is truly a wonderful Sharing Circle host. She is so patient in dealing with newcomers who may be causing interruptions during shares. And I am glad to see that she recently took on the Room Supporter role. I am sure others would agree when I say, we are grateful for all that she does in helping out the Sharing Circle community. Your work doesn’t go unnoticed and in case no one has told you this yet, we’re proud of you! I look forward to seeing what else you will achieve on your listener journey.

For @CommunityModAaron - Aaron’s ability to multitask in rooms always amazes me. I know we have not known each other for that long, but I have seen Aaron supporting members in multiple rooms at once more than a few times now. I have also joined Aaron on their shift and co-modded rooms, and they are always a pleasure to work with. I agree with others when they say they know the rooms are safe when you are modding for more than a few reasons. Thank you for all you do for this community! Look forward to seeing you around and helping out again in the future!

For @CommunityModAlex - Alex is honestly a wonderful com mod. Unfortunately due to the time zone and usual timing of his shifts, I’m almost never helpful during his shifts. He patiently puts up with my questions that didn’t get answered throughout the day. He has repeatedly shown support on my listener journey. The simple fact that he checks in on me when we’re both online about my well-being and doesn't want me to be burnt out because of my roles shows a lot. I miss working with you during your shifts and actually helping out. Hoping I’ll be able to get back to that sometime soon. Thank you for all that you do.

For @LuluRings - Lulu is honestly amazing in so many ways. He is a great mentor and I am grateful that he took me on as a mentee. Thank you so much for putting up with my questions and doing debriefs with me. He is a wonderful host across many different rooms, and a great leader to work with. He is gentle, kind and clear when giving feedback. There really are a lot of things I can still learn from him. Thank you for all the support and guidance you have given me throughout my listener journey. Thank you for all that you do around this community. Looking forward to attending more of your sessions!

For @kindLemonade - Lemon has honestly come a long way from since the beginning of their group support journey. They are a wonderful host for Listener Sharing Circle, Sharing Circle, Pop-up discussion (special events room), Listener Support Room check-in and Support Room check-in sessions. It is so nice to see that they have developed their own style of hosting and community members seem to be really enjoying that. I was glad to see that they recently took on a new leadership role of being a room supporter. They’ve been very kind and welcoming in sessions I’ve attended. Thank you for all you do around the community!

For @CommunityModEllie - Ellie is gentle and friendly when I see her engaging in rooms around the community. Her ability to communicate clearly in heated situations and quickly de-escalate is something I could learn from. I know I’m rarely consistently active during her shifts but I have worked with her enough times to say it’s always a wonderful experience. She’s just a message away if you need back-up in any room. And she patiently answered and cleared up any questions I had regarding how to handle situations. Thank you for all you do around this community and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

For @lueurspace - Lueur is an incredibly kind and caring person, the cream of the crop on this site. Lueur goes out of their way to be their for you, and genuinely cares about what you're dealing with! Lueur would make a great therapist some day, if they every aspire to do so.

For @SparkyGizmo - Sparky is extremely empathetic. They always know exactly what to say to make a person feel better. They spend time with you until you're smiling again! Sparky is also filled with such wisdom

For @LuLuRings - Luke has been like an unofficial mentor to me. I know that I can always count on Luke for some support when I doubt myself or when I don't know what to do. Thank you for being such a warm and welcoming presence Luke! You're a lovely person.

For @DonaldDraper - Don has really helped me grow as a listener across the different roles I've been taking on. I am grateful for Don's empathy and compassion! They always know just what to say Thank you for your kindness

For @MagicalSarah - Sarah is always so supportive and understanding! She is an exemplary listener sharing circle host. She really makes an effort to learn and grow from every experience. She is also incredibly kind and genuine in everything she does!

For @Happy900 - Happy's username says it all! Happy is honestly like a ray of sunshine. Happy is very sensitive to triggers in the sense that they remind everyone in the room to be careful of what they say as some people can get upset because of certain topics. Happy always reminds people to prioritise their wellbeing and not overdo things. Thank you happy

For @blissart - blissart has guided me on my 7 Cups journey from day 1. I am so grateful for such a professional and sincere mentor like Bliss. I know I can always count on them, whether for validation after a difficult experience as a listener, or for guidance and signposting to resources. Keep being the lovely person your are bliss!

For @Dazzle28purvi - Purvi is a great host, I've been in multiple sessions hosted by them , in their first one as well, and they are a pleasure to join with , great hosting and room supporting skills . Keep It up , Purvi ! ❤

For @LuluRings - They are an exceptional host and moderator, they really got some amazing people skills, making everyone feel welcomed and encouraged to participate . I look upto them in many things , one of them is as a host in charge of a room . Fabulous leader . ❤

For @kindLemonade - They are a wonderful new host , I do see them hosting multiple sessions back to back though lol so I hope they take some self care breaks too in between , I really enjoyed their hosting in special events room , they add a personal flair to the scripted messages which is fun . Keep going , lemon ! ❤

For @Unique73 - Unique73 is a great new leader in the making , I've noticed them being active in hosting various rooms these days and they do an amazing job in all these different rooms . They are warm , friendly and validating and I really love to see them host . ❤

For @FreshFlow94 - Incredibly compassionate and kind. Listened well and had a lot of kind words and helpful outlooks on things being discussed. A pleasure to talk to.

For @Anna706 - I would like to give positive feedback to Anna706, because she is an amazing friend, and she is compassionate! 33

For @CommunityModAnne - I love Anne's modding style and how quickly she is able to adjust and address different situations in different rooms. She understands different rooms have different dynamics and require different approaches which have served her well. Anne is always patient, understanding, and responsive. Not to mention, she helped me a lot when I first became an ATL and had to get used to teen side of the platform. I enjoyed the times I've joined you on your shifts in the past, and I look forward to joining you again in the future. Thank you for all that you do for this community.

For @CommunityModLynn - I know I am not one of the most active people in terms of helping out during Lynn’s shifts, but recognition for Lynn’s work around the community is long overdue. If I recall correctly, I only joined her shift maybe once or twice during the whole mod challenge part 1. But that was enough to give me a lasting impression. Lynn is very helpful, kind, and supportive. Thank you for being understanding and patient. Thank you for all that you do around this community. Your work is noticed and appreciated. Looking forward to the next time we get to work together.

For @LivinginDiscomfort123 - Liv is an amazing listener who deserves recognition for their work in the Sharing Circle community. It was a pleasure to watch the progress Liv made on their group support journey and develop their own hosting style. Liv is really compassionate and the members appreciate them being there. It’s really nice to see Liv stepping up to a new leadership role of Room Supporter recently. Excited to see where their listener journey will take them in the future. Thank you for your dedication to the Sharing Circle community. Thank you for all you do around the community. Your work is appreciated and valued.

For @CommunityModCharlie - Charlie is an amazing com mod to work with. I’ve hosted on and off with him throughout my journey. Before I became a mod, his periodic messages in Sharing Circle while I was hosting were really reassuring. I knew that he was in the room to take care of any issue that may arise during the session, and that the pressure isn’t on me to de-escalate things although I often end up helping out regardless. Things haven’t changed much since I’ve become a mod and I appreciate having support in the room I’m hosting and modding. Thank you for all you do.

For @CommunityModRobin - I know I am very inconsistent in terms of helping out during Robin’s shifts as timing of their shifts often don’t work out for me. But it is always a treat to see Robin online! They are gentle, kind, and bring that positive energy to the rooms you moderate. They are patient and understanding when handling situations that arise in rooms. And of course, they know when to joke around to lighten the mood in the room for everyone, which is always much appreciated. Thank you for all that you do around this community! I look forward to working with you again in the future!

For @CommunityModMorgan - I remember when Morgan first joined as com mod. I was only a well known host in Sharing Circle at the time. I am sure Morgan knows by now, I have since become a mod. We might only have had a few interactions as most of their shifts are when I’m not online, I am glad all of our interactions have been positive experiences. You are kind, friendly, and patient. I miss hosting during their shifts. Thank you for all you do for this community and keep up the good work! Hoping I will get to join you for your shift again in the near future!

For @CommunityModSage - I have had very few opportunities to work with Sage so far thanks to the huge time zone difference. Through the brief times that we have had together, I have only ever had positive experiences working with you and could tell that you’re a wonderful com mod. I remember our most recent interaction, you came online to me being in shock and panic to a degree because of what happened in rooms. You were kind, and understanding, and calmed me down before I ended up doing impulsive things. Thank you for all that you do, your work around the community is greatly appreciated.

For @Xe - I’ve been around since the start of your listener journey. It amazes me to think about how far you’ve come already. Seeing you develop your own hosting style and rise to a position of being a well respected host. Your dedication in supporting others and the Sharing Circle community is noticed and appreciated by the community. So I wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you do. I’m excited to see where your listener journey will take you, and what else you’ll go on to achieve. You’re not alone on this journey, we’re here to support you so feel free to reach out.

For @AiMeraki - I always enjoy seeing Meraki around because she’s always so kind and supportive of others in chat rooms. I’ve seen Meraki around the community for a few months now, and I must say she deserves more credit than she gets for all that she does in support rooms. Thank you for all that you do to help out and support others! You don’t need badges to be recognized, we notice your work and appreciate it. We’re here for you when you need us. Thank you for being so understanding when things don’t go smoothly in Sharing Circle during your shares because moderators were in other rooms.

For @FireBlade456 - I love seeing Fire around the community. I am sure others would agree with me when I say they are a regular in rooms and great at cheering others up. Your efforts in helping 7Cups group chats be a better place does not go unnoticed, and I wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you do. Fire has always been supportive and understanding when interacting with others in the chatrooms. We are here for you when you need us. Wish you all the best with whatever’s to come your way, and I look forward to seeing you around the community!

For @AnonymousWriter13 - Writer, Support Room 24/7 feels empty without you. I know many enjoy your presence here in the community, you’re supportive, kind and understanding. You always welcome newcomers to the room and greet them so no one feels left out. These gestures really do go a long way in making someone else’s day. Speaking from personal experience, thank you for your support of moderators. We appreciate it. Also truly appreciate all that you have done and all that you will do around this community. We’re here for you when you need support. I look forward to seeing you again around the community.
