i dont like sending long messages at first so mine is short:

ps.i found this link very useful when i started of: https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/FAQforNewListeners_106/FAQ_1521/

hmm I think it would be this:

Hello XX. Welcome to 7 cups of tea as a listener. We're so glad to have you here. We will help you with your chats as mentors(during a chat), and peer supports(after a hard chat). Feel free to ask your questions in the chat room :)

And please don't share the details of chats in the chat room, and pm a mentor instead. If you need to refer someone, write the topic of the chat in 5 words or less in the chat room and see if any listener will take the chat. If not, please refer them to the Browse Listeners page.

Have a nice time here :)

Joes Welcome Message:

Hi there (NEW LISTENER), Welcome to 7 cups of tea. Thank you so much for becoming a listener here. My name is (MY NAME) and I joined up as a listener here on (DATE JOINED). I want to let you know that if you ever need anything or have any questions, you can always message me or any of the other listeners. I think you will find us all a pretty friendly bunch. If you need support on how to handle specific member requests, I found the best thing is to message someone who is a "mentor". They are very helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. I invite you to head over to the listener chat room. There is a mentor in the chatroom most of the time plus i've found it a really friendly place to talk to other listeners and get to know new friends. You can also find some cool stuff on the listener forum. The listener forum has some great resources to help with member chats and gives us the opportunity to voice our ideas on various topics relevant to the 7Cups mission. I've sent you a link to some resources to help you with member requests. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yk_7ffWXZ13uHlqB2Al-NL3Kl8AZa3_jd-9ain4UtdU/edit?pli=1#gid=1989456430 . So once again, welcome, and If you ever see me around, please say hi :)

Here is a sample of mine:
