Member Oath - All Encouraged to Participate
Our member community is thriving! Now that we have our group support chat rooms, our members are able to interact and support each other in new and dynamic ways. You all have done a wonderful job adjusting to these chat rooms and supporting one another.
As a member of the 7 Cups community, you are all here for a variety of specific reasons. But one thing we all have in common is our love of the 7 Cups community. Our community is a safe haven, a place to find connection, compassion, love, and support.
Our community is only as strong as it's members. We ask each member to agree to these community guidelines and interact in ways that reflect these guidelines and the 7 Cups values.
Today, I would like all members of 7 Cups of Tea to take ownership of their home here. To show your commitment, we ask that you take the 7 Cups member oath. By completing this oath, you are promising to show kindness and support to all those you interact with here. It could be in the forums, with a listener in a 1-1 chat or in the group support chat rooms.
Below this post, type out your member oath. You could cut and paste it, but I feel like this takes away from it. Typing it helps you really think through what you are committing to. Next, at the bottom, sign in with your username like this:
I, ___________________, pledge a moral oath before my fellow community members, making them my witnesses, that I read and understood the community guidelines and ensure its compliance during my stay at 7Cups.
I will treat my fellow members and listeners with compassion, patience, open-mindedness, and being non-judgmental.
I will stay respectful of everyone I encounter in the community.
I understand as a community we are here to provide and seek support.
I will be thoughtful and compassionate in my conversations.
I will use the proper channels to escalate any concerns facing during my stay in the community.
I will be open to learning from others and sharing my experiences and learning with them to grow as a community together.
I will take ownership of my own behavior in the community and understand how I will react to any situation that is my choice.
I will follow the community guidelines and support each other in building the community better for everyone.

I solemly promise to adhere to the rules/guidlines of 7 cups and do my best to keep this site a safe and supportive environment.
I think it's unfair that this is supposed to be a helpful community and yet there's no one around but a simple bot
I have been waiting all day and there has not been a single listener to answer my request; with the amount of members this community has I find it very hard to believe that no one is "available" to help.
7Cups puts helping as a priority, doesn't it? This problem has affected me for several times and I think it's just too much. We need more commitment.

Sorry that's happened to you, keep trying. 7 Cups work's still hasn't worked stuff out.

I have only been on here a couple of times, but find it to be something pretty amazing! I haven't gotten far enough along to even try to get results for myself yet, but have seen numerous people feeling like they are improving. Even if it is slow, which I don't know yet, to get help at all and for free is definitely pretty amazing. Just hang in there and be patient, because even if they did get back to you immediately, you still wont be able to fix any anxiety or depression issues you might have overnight.
Good luck!
I take the member oath.
