Member Oath - All Encouraged to Participate

User Profile: Laura
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.

Je úžasné vidět, jak silná a empatická komunita na 7 Cups vznikla! Skupinové chaty jsou skvělým krokem vперед, protože vzájemné sdílení příběhů, pochopení a pocit, že v tom člověk není sám, mají obrovskou hodnotu. Vytvořit bezpečný prostor plný respektu a podpory je v dnešní době vzácnost.

Pocit sounáležitosti a dobrá atmosféra jsou zkrátka základem každé fungující komunity — ať už jde o vzájemnou psychickou podporu, nebo o sdílení společných zájmů a volnočasovou zábavu na místech jako roulettino. Obrovská pochvala všem členům i moderátorům za to, že udržují tak vřelou a přijímající atmosféru!
