An Idea: More Safety without More Mods
Group Support / by SethK

...See more Here's the suggestion. Numerous idea have been suggested such as most recently @Cristiana33 's attempt to get more moderator coverage by arranging time slots. Could be now with the teams this will work, but as @Amelia said, people might have time commitments which wouldn't allow such set times on a consistent basis. IDEA: What if in every room there was a general "moderator request", not a report button about a speccific listener, but a general button members or listeners could press when they feel like a mod is needed and then an alert can show up on the screens of all mods, and/or in the mod support room or maybe even it will have to be on the screen's off all listeners. The alert would be something to the affect of "Moderator requested to Depression Support Room." Maybe, like GR chats, there could even be a way for a moderator to "take" the mod request so we won't have 5 mods coming to a single room, or the alternative of no mods coming with each assuming that someone else will take it. This would ensure that mods would immediately be able to come to rooms that have no mod but have an issue. Also, many listeners/members won't want to file a report about a specific person but will be more comfortable to use a general call button. The one issue with this though could be that a mod who comes will be joining in the middle of a situation, not really knowing what's going on, but again, this is no worse than a member having to go to another room looking for an available mod, and then that mod coming. Also I'll make clear that this isn't a replacement for having mods moderate rooms actively, but as such isn't always possible, and soemtimes simply not neccessary, this would be a great feature. Btw, i hope the subject wasn't misleading, it wasn't supposed to sound like more safety because there are less mods :) Please share your thoughts, additional ideas, or anything of the sort!
Critiquing Fellow Listeners: An obligation or a prohibition?

...See more I have a question that I want the public consensus on as I just experienced this yesterday and was unsure whether to/how to react. There might be multiple right reactions in such a situation. If I'm in a chatroom (or you're in a chatroom) and we see a listener communicate with a member in a way that isn't egregious at all, not violating any policies, nothing in the sense of being "wrong", but there's a lack of empathy for example, or criticizing a member for having certain feelings. ANother example is if a listener is offering advice to the member, not as an idea to explore, but suggesting they do x,y,& z - all of these are not good listening skills, and not helpful to the member. The question now is: How do you respond? Do you respond at all? If you respond, do you critique the listener? Publicly? Privately Another alternative is responding to the member and not the listener at all (ie telling the member re advice, that they have other options too)? Any other options? Any thoughts?
Why being a listener is AWESOME!

...See more As the spirit of the week seems to be focused on getting more listeners signed up and current listeners more involved, I think if listeners share their positive experiences publicly, it can encourage both current listeners and not-yet-listeners to become new listeners. What did you gain (ie emotionally, skill wise, personality wise, whatever, etc) from being a listener on 7 Cups? How has being a listener been awesome for YOU?
