Late May - Member Email Verification Update

Ahoy Glorious Community!

We have been working hard these past few months to make 7 Cups as safe as possible. As an anonymous chat site, this task often presents challenges, but our efforts have paid off and we have seen increased quality and safety around the site! yay!

To this end, we are excited to announce our latest update. We are making this change in the interest of ensuring safe participation. Later this week or early next week, all new and existing members will be required to verify their email to participate on 7 Cups. This includes all areas of the site- 1-1 chats, forums, group support, etc. Listeners are required to verify their emails as well.

We know this is a big change for our member community and that there are potential consequences to this update. We have weighed all of the options and we believe this update will ensure both the short term and long term safety and quality of our site. This update will need to work in conjunction with many other safety initiatives. This is step one in our continud effort to make 7 Cups a safe place.

Thank you for all that you do to help keep the community safe and supportive!
