Hay everyone✨!
Are you familiar with our Community Guidelines?
How is your understanding of our Guidelines?
Do you have questions regarding our Guidelines?
This is the first post in the Community Guideline series,
we want you safe in our Community and we hope that you find this series helpful.
we want you safe in our Community and we hope that you find this series helpful.
Now, why do we have guidelines?
Our guidelines do serve a purpose, they are here to ensure all of our safety for both Listeners and Members.
They focus on making our Cups environment a friendly, supportive, and safe one.
We all want a place where we can have that, Cups strives to fulfil those needs and if we all put our work in making Cups safe, then that is exactly what we will accomplish.
So, by us all going by the guidelines, we are making sure that Cups has the ability to be that place for us.
Here you can find our Guidelines, I do recommend that you take a good look at them since they are so very important.
Here are a few things from the Guidelines, regarding the look of our profiles.
Profile Picture
Why is it important to have an appropriate profile picture?
A big part of creating a supportive environment lies in this one, that’s why it is in the guidelines. As 7Cups focuses on keeping us safe, this is included in it.
It’s never a good experience to be about to send someone a message and then get overwhelmed or triggered by their profile picture.
Please keep the picture appropriate.
Profile Bio
In our Profile Bio we get the perfect opportunity to introduce ourselves a little, we can let people know what hobbies we have and other light-hearted information.
But we can not give any identifiable information about ourselves, 7Cups is about anonymity and that’s the best way to remain safe.
It’s also against our guidelines to have triggering information in our profile, that has the same reason as the one is given about the Profile photo.
Profile Username
With our profile username, we have the opportunity to be creative and use words that in a way describe how we are.
But as with the first two, keeping it appropriate and anonymous is important.
FYI: Profile Pictures/Bio/Usernames that don’t follow the guidelines will be flagged.
We definitely don’t want that to happen. Stay appropriate :)
A few questions for you, wonderful community member:
- How can you make sure that your profile, bio and username fits the Community Guidelines?
- Why is it important that we go by the Community Guidelines?
- What do we do when we see an inappropriate username, profile picture or bio?
I would love to hear all your answers.
