As a Listener, I came across many members with whom I had chat told me that had multiplie accounts and one told me he had 10 accounts on 7 Cups.

Are members allowed to keep so many accounts or should be there some restrictions to such members with such action?

@NityaSpiritualHealer Only one member account is allowed. You can report the member: Submit a request. However, it is almost impossible to establish that the multiple accounts story is true. The member who is telling the story might be trying to discredit other genuine members.

@RarelyCharlie

Thanks

Who's checking all these member accounts?

May be it's more of safety and security concern here.

More or less I felt that most of them think this place like other casual chat places where members are allowed to have unlimited accounts.

We need some strict rules for such members mischievous acts.

@NityaSpiritualHealer No one knows who checks member accounts. It's a secret.

We do have strict rules, though!

@NityaSpiritualHealer A secret is information that cannot be told.

@NityaSpiritualHealer If you look at the community guidelines from your listener account, they are slightly different. There is a link to the member ones that listeners can see when signed into their accounts but I can't recall where off the top of my head. Signing out and then going to the link will show the member ones. They are:

@AffyAvo

Thanks it was all I was reading here on 7 Cups from past two weeks.

But in question, my query is different about members who are doing such mischievous things by creating so many accounts.

And I had the same conversation with support/ mods here but I didn't got relevant reply. And I had to post here so I can get best reply.

So we can keep good practice on 7 Cups as for new listeners like me who are volunteering on 7 Cups want sound and clean to atmosphere to work in as it's all helpful for our wellbeing mentally and emotionally.

I hope you understand 🙏

Thank you

@NityaSpiritualHealer I thought you asked part way through what the rules for members were. As you can see, each person is allowed 1 member account. If there is reason to believe someone has more than 1 then report it. It can be difficult to verify it, but typically those with many are also doing other things against the rules and the behaviours add up, leading to accounts being banned.

@AffyAvo

This sounds good to me.

But does members know that they are allowed only one account and that also in appropriate way as we on 7 Cups are for a very good cause and some pretty serious health problems people are facing and here for some fun chats.

And Kindly let me also know who are the right people to discuss as well. Also the link where we can take such actions.

Thanks

@NityaSpiritualHealer I'm not sure of what comes up now when one first makes an account, it's been so long ago I did and things have changed. I do think people are asked to read the guidelines though.

Reporting depends a bit on where it is done. IN 1-1s the block comes with a report option. In the group chats, call in a moderator (form is in the group chat rooms at the bottom of the chat), in the forums flag, with profiles there's a form if not on the safety patrol or reach out to someone who is. The Support and Feedback form can also be used.
