@SoulfullyAButterfly hey there, Soul! Thank you for participating! I wish I could think of a limerick for you in response... elp!
@CuriousKate i am so glad to see this despite notifications acting up terribly (a bug since this morning)
I enjoyed your limerick wish by penning something 
Curiousity is such a fountain,
But together we are mountains.
Waiting to be climbed,
Analysis is undergoing for the first time.
Thank you for working towards safety, the first and foremost important.
All the best!!
Filled out! @curiouskate
@krispykitty12 Thank you!
If they start bullying then I would give them a warning in they do it the second time then it be automatic ban for a day and the third time ban perminately and they will explain why they can't come back on here

Good point! Unfortunately, I had this happen recently. The person told me they had 6 member accounts and 1 listener account so they could check what their listener said in the listener chat room about them. I reported it, and the member just kept making more accounts as the old ones were shut down. It makes a listener feel not safe.
@LovelyRose77 Don't worry though, keep calm about it and don't hesitate to take quick actions. I hope sonner or later it will be known by everyone that misdemeanors have consequences.
@steelnerve
Thanks ;-)
I'm calm, but I feel that something should be done. I agree that a change in rules will hopefully change this behavior. It's not good that it took weeks and multiple emails before I even heard anything after reporting it. It doesn't worry me so much since I'm a mental health nurse and used to these types of situations. Others may not have the skills or self defense training that I have in this field of work. We should all feel as safe as possible.
@steelnerve
Sorry! I should've mentioned the member admitted to using his accounts to harrass and stalk some listeners, including me. That's why I felt so passionately about having some rules about this behavior.
@CuriousKate
thanks kate!
@EvelyneRose
Thank you, @evelyne! I'm looking forward to talking more with you!
Filled out.
Hope listener safety is also given as much as importance in case of verbal harassment and false reportind
P.s selfish words but come on I am a listener too😂😂
I feel like some of the people we help needs options as of in advice we should let them decide first as in if they need some kind of advice but I understand our policy I'm just saying maybe in the near future. I'm battling with my classes and personal life but I always make time for people on here when I am able to. I wanna just say thank you for making this site .
Can 7cups please try and address all the safety concerns and issues rather than playing it off like you guys care about safety with this form?
@Kanga
i think this is part of how theyre addressing. Theyre gathering information on what problems there are and how to solve them. Is that correct @7CupsCommunity?
@EvelyneRose
Thank you for the tag!
Yes, we are collecting feedback on safety concerns and issues through this form in order to address them. Thank you for your feedback!

@7CupsCommunity @EvelyneRose @Kanga
Yes, we do care. A lot. We need to surface the issues before we solve anything. It's really important to hear all of your voices as we all perceive different issues in different ways.
Everyone's responses have been really helpful. As you know, we value anonymity and privacy so this is a critical step in understanding your concerns.
Thanks so much for doing this, CuriousKate!
Thank you @CuriousKate for conducting this survey on such an important topic that is surfacing a lot lately! I hope you get some good answers and I hope people feel comfortable enough to do this
Well hello here @Erica! Thank you. Response has been fantastic and everyone appears to be comfortable sharing and being constructive, which makes analysis and action much more enjoyable! We're already making a lot of progress!
We can talk about the issue and if people don't listen then we should just block them and move on to the next person and just think about the positive outcome
Love
