Member Oath - All Encouraged to Participate
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.

Why exactly are you removing key functionalities on this website until you copy paste some stuff on a forum somewhere? This feels like just a way of inconveniencing actual users on the website and not doing anything to slow down people who troll on it, or use it as just a regular chatroom
How about we fix the group chatrooms for actual support, re-establish the chat for people who don't have any issues with self image or socialising, and add chatrooms that provide support for people that really need it? Like for those under the spectrum, or for non native English speakers, instead of just "Come here for being over 40, here for anxiety that nobody is in, and here for everything else"? This is surely more important than making people type empty words for no good reason
@Laura This is my oath that I will be a kind person and I will try to help others my best way (I am not a listener) but I listen to other people and will not break any rules or community guidelines.
@Laura .
I take the member oath into my hands and will try my best to adhere to the desired outcomes.

i will show kindness and support to those I interact with on 7 cups and in my daily life.
if I am unknowingly unkind, because I'm human and it can happen, I hope that I will be able to grow from the experience and apologize to the one(s) I hurt.
I do
@Laura ok sure
