suggestion

justaplumber32 June 10th, 2023

I dont Know if this goes here but I wanted to make a suggestion or ask a question really. I wanted to see if there would be a option to be able to chat with other member and not just listeners? I dont know if there is like a safety issue or anything like that as to why its not an option but I know alot of the members here have asked about it but if it were to ever come up or if there were concerns I would think that the one on one messages could bout monitor like the group chats are. Just a suggestion It would be nice to be able to connect with other members and chat.

Hey, plumber!

Unfortunately there isn't a way for M-M to chat 1-1 :(

You can of course chat with other members in group chats and across the forum though. One nice way some members speak to each other 1-1 is via a forum thread. They create a thread titled "Space for X and X - Do not reply" and it is their little part of 7Cups that they can chat undisturbed on the forums - maybe that's something you could consider?

Hope that makes sense!

i would like that too some members here are so nice and supportive...it would be really nice to be able to talk to them in personal chat unlike forums or rooms where one of us may not feel as comfortable sharing or talking about something around others but only with certain people in private ... I totally see where this suggestion is coming from and you're right many others too have mentioned about it πŸ’•

but you're also right about the lack of moderation or people being appropriate and following cups rules that is some common reasoning for not allowing member chats ..although I feel it's not as much of the account someone is using, but the person ... a good person stays good in whatever account or place they are in and someone who wants to troll people or break rules etc can do it anywhere...it would be too much irony if someone follows some rules while breaking rules here like only doing it on M account xD

I remember another reason someone gave on this ... that 7 cups was designed in the format for listener-member for PMs and to have a support relationship rather than a two friendship or support...that is common for other text based apps and stuff

so if members only talk to members or dont seek listeners... who will listeners listen to πŸ˜… their format for personal chats wouldn't make sense in that case

But as I said i relate with the need for this feature also and I'm glad you shared your suggestion πŸ’• you can submit it to community form also if you want https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKdc41mqdmvjANHvb-pKr2ec-snE8u9v1YT6tmHmLtNe8owQ/viewform

till then as tommy suggested you can use forums to chat with member friends ... I kinda do it also because I really appreciate these friends and this is the only way we can talk and keep in touch πŸ˜„
