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!

@Laura

I promise to be kind, understanding and respectful towards both members and listeners, as we are all equal human beings and none of us are all-powerful gods, not good-for-nothing pieces of trash. We are not divided into black and white, but instead we are all in different shades of grey (Ya see what I did there~?). I shall do my best not to judge, nor to let myself be judged by others. I will contribute to this community as a member and I shall become a reason for both members and listeners to grow and develop as individuals. That is my member oath and I will try my hardest to encourage change and development for the greater good!

I Pledge a oath to try my hardest to be supportive and kind and use 7 Cups in a nice calm way

blissedNblessed November 5th, 2016

I, blissedNblessed, hereby take this precious oath compassion and kindness, respect and empathy towards all living beings, especially the ones here I meet on 7 Cups. For everyone is struggling in their own way and I may not know what that is. So if they come across angry - I will react with self care but nothing but respect and kindness back - for they are hurting ( but it does not mean I will allow them to hurt me).

I, blissedNblessed will adhere to the guidlines and values of 7 Cups because they mirrior my own <3 And because I want to be a helpful and loving member of this suppport system that is flowing with love and kindness here. I want to be a part of something greater than myself.

I, blissedNblessed, vow, to use this site to grow , strengthen and to heal. Bearing my soul to myself and sometimes to others. I will work through this hidden pain that fuels my decisions now and change core beliefs about myself that are outright Wrong. I will learn to Love myself, forgive myself, show compassion to myself and let go of all that harms me ....sometimes in a quick just, smetimes slowly - but most importantly - I will do it.

I , blissedNblessed will honor these ideals and rules and show love and kindness to all I meet here ( and outside ouf here) - this includes myself. I also am adding a vow to myself - that I shall break dwn my walls , heal what needs to be healed, look at what needs to be looked at ( when I am ready) so that I may in turn, become a listner one day and help others do the same for we all have the power to do so.

Thank you 7 Cups for being here and inspiring me and awakening my heart <3

much,much love and light <3
