Member Oath - All Encouraged to Participate

Laura November 9th, 2014
.

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.

NOTE: Eventually, we will be able to give a badge to all those who take this pledge. The badge will come, as long as you post in this thread, you will earn it!

I pledge to be open-minded, empathetic, and kind. I pledge to treat anyone who seeks my help with the same respect that I would wish for myself. I pledge to not overextend myself, and to recognize the limitations of my abilities. I know that I will want to fix everyone's problems, because that is human nature, but I recognize that is not in the member's best interest. Thus, I pledge to pass the member on to someone more well-equipped when I have reached the end of my usefulness.

I promise to keep their problems and my problems separate and let no interference come between us. I promise to devote full attention to all I help and to leave no one behind.

I pledge that I will do my best to help my fellow members and guests while practising active listening and being thoughtful in my interactions. I will show respect, compassion and kindness to everyone who crosses my path also understanding that everyone is a different person and more importantly a human being with feelings. I appreciate the time and effort 7 cups volunteers listeners give to our community and will rely on them to help me overcome some obstacles while always being present to help if needed. I will never insult, disrespect, violate boundaries or have any sort of behaviour that harms anyone. I will always keep challenging myself to grow not only as a listener but also as a person learning more with the resources 7 cups give and with every experience and every step of my path. I will believe in myself and take care of my mental health seeing every obstacle in life as a possible challenge to overcome and grow.

I promise and I will keep every promise written above to show the 7 cups community that I am dedicated to help and make it even better that it is. I also promise to be dedicated to my own self protecting and taking care of myself so my personal health doesn't interfere with my work as a listener.

That being said, I also thank the community for the amazing ideas and for the warmth in everything they do.

we really need an insomnia chatroom... a lot of members don't know where to go to get help on insomnia.... Providing company on lonely /sleepless nights as well ... we have a healthy living room and even a ' share your story' room for gods sake ! then why not an insomnia support ??
