Hey Everyone!

Misty here! Butterfly

I just wanted to post about what's been happening today. and see if we can all get on the same page, Member and Listeners.

I am an avid chatter in the group support chat rooms.
I love joining in with discussions and quizzes and open chats almost as much as I love leading them.
So today I have entered five chatrooms linked to the 'Join A Group Discussion' using the clicky orange tab and really had no clue where they were taking place, which room, or if adult, or teen. (I am a trained Adult Teen Listener ATL).

When I put up a room banner announcement, I was trained to put the room title first and then the event so :-

example: 'Bipolar - anti-stigma discussion' or 'Family - Open for chat'

not just 'open chat' or 'open discussion' or 'quiz'

As a Listener and as a Member I clicked 'on several and then found myself in a room that for different reasons I did not want to attend, so I left.

What I am raising here is that please can we ask that all Support Session Leaders make sure that they put the room first and then the event in the banner title? Seems such a little detail but so important to many of our attendees here and will stop people dropping in and then leaving abruptly, or worse being told they are in the wrong room.

The room title can be shortened so perhaps just put 'Safety - Member Scenarios' so that it can all fit?

Of course some rooms and discussions are welcoming and suitable for everyone to attend and some Support Session Leaders do put the room name already too. Medal

Hope you are all having a great weekend

not sure who to tag . . . .

@MistyMagic I think this is a good idea but not something that is mandatory or set in stone. I do especially like the idea of doing this for open chats and think that should be encouraged.
