Safety Discussion - Usernames
Hey everyone! 😊
When you join 7 Cups as a member or a listener, you get a username which is assigned by our system. You also have the option to create your own screen name while signing up.
Here, your username is something which identifies you to other users. So, having a good username can leave a lasting impression on your 7 Cups peers.
That said, there has been some confusion about what is considered an appropriate username on here. So, let’s check it out ✨
What is an appropriate username?
An appropriate username IS the one that:
Can be computer-generated by 7 Cups or chosen by yourself
Is creative, and shows positive qualities
Can be in capital letters
An appropriate username IS NOT the one that:
Contains sexualized, graphic, or curse words
Contains anything about suicide/drugs/alcohols
Have anything that is homophobic/racist towards any group
Now for the questions part! 😄
What do you consider to be a good username?
Is there any confusion you face while choosing your username while signing up, or deciding to change your username?
Finally, a mini-game for you 🥁:
Tag 2-3 of your friends and mention a word which makes you think of them, specifically their usernames (it can be a positive quality, or a strength)
Let’s keep the chain going!
Sometimes a 7 Cups user may wish to change their username once they have signed up, for various reasons, including safety and privacy reasons. If you’re one of them, you’re welcome to check out the process for username change here
If you have spotted a profile that needs to be flagged, feel free to message one of the Safety Patrol members with the username here
For any queries on Safety (profile flagging/outreaching/discussions), you’re welcome to message @tommy or @Rebekah or @AuRewolf!
