How do I get rid of Noni?

That's my question too. I don't want to be signed in and get alerts from a bot that I can't even respond to with other than pre-programmed responses.

Can any one answer this please!!!

i dont think you can

As far as I know, 7 Cups does not support that.

I removed Noni in a way that 7 Cups does not support. I did it because my chat list is important to me, and Noni wastes a slot there. Anyone who would like to know how I did it is welcome to message me.

GOOD FOR YOU MAN.

I WILL JUST SUFFER.

I'd like to remove Noni as well.

It's annoying.

about that,I'm curious,is it just a bot,or a human testing the bot,who occasionally types. Most of the answers seem programmed,but there are times when I'm not so sure or is it getting a conscience already?

She is just a bot, we're told, but I think we've also been told that some of the things she says have been harvested from real chats between humans. That feeling of not being sure whether there's a human responding is intentional. It's related to the technique known as cold reading. You can easily Google it to find out more.

thanks!

There is not currently a way to remove Noni, but we're listening to feedback and figuring out ways to make her less intrusive!

@Heather Give us an option to turn her off! This is really intrusive and annoying.

Please let us remove/mute her already. I got an email notification for her AGAIN. I will stop using 7cups if this continues. This bot is an insult to people with problems.

Noni absolutely needs to go, or have a remove option. It's insulting, and honestly if I were a new user it would turn me off. It's artificial, and so makes the whole experience here seem aritificial.

Nothing quite like typing to a bot "STOP" "STOP" "STOP" to a bot, have it respond with "I will leave you alone then," and then two days later starts harassing you again.

You know there are members here who have one or two regular long term listeners who are very important to them. Seeing the New Message notification thinking it is from your actual support system, only to find it is Nonispam, is probably like a mini-gut punch sometimes.

STOP

@SecondTry

I told Noni to *** off this morning.

She replied LOL

This is great for mental health when you are trying to connect to someone that cares.

If I get one more loud pinging email at 5:30am I'm literally gonna kill myself. DELETE NONI NOW.

Why was 'noni" even allowed to slide through like this?! I'm sure she didn't decide to harass us. You programmed her to do it.. wtf?!. So you're telling me you didn't think being messaged for NOTHING constantly is a bad idea? Also I got annoyed with the spam from the app. You all know it that message that says "hope you feel better, because if you don't I'll find you and kill you" I know that sounds extreme but it does seem like a malicious message. Stop purposely spamming us for the love of all that is holy. Have some manners. I'd gladly get the app back(and continue to give the site money be honest that's why you made it) if it would STOP SPAMMING!!!

7 Cups came into being with help from startup specialist Y Combinator, and I recently read an essay by a founder of Y Combinator, Paul Graham, who wrote:

"At Y Combinator we advise all the startups we fund never to lord it over users."

It seems to me 7 Cups has drifted away from this philosophy, and Noni's recent behaviour is one of several indications.

I blocked Noni and wrote up how to do it here: Block Noni

I can still chat to Noni whenever I choose to.

This solution won't work for everyone, though, and Noni still needs to be fixed.

Can you imagine if you have issues with a stalker, join 7cups to help with the stress... then get STALKED BY A DAMN BOT? WTF? You need to make it so people are able to TURN IT OFF.

Noni is still there, and I still hate her. How do I turn her off again? Does it STILL NOT WORK?

Hey there! Just a heads up, I've relocated your thread to a more suitable area - in Noni's Nest!

the thing i hate about Noni is the fact that i get a notification that there's a new message, when in reality no new message was sent and it's getting on my last nerve. i have anxiety about checking notifications and everytime i leave the conversation with Noni, i suddenly get a "new" message...

@xkolyax

Same! It has been getting on my nerves something fierce..
