7 CupsReviews of 7cups.com

There is such a need for more resources to mental health support and 7cups offers that. The volunteers and staff work hard to keep it a safe, productive space. As such, and especially with such sensitive material, things happen, and I've experienced that, but it's to be expected and the staff handle it very well. It's been a haven for me and urge others to look past any negative reviews and give 7cups a chance. Maybe they'll find a refuge like I did.

Update: 7 Cups suspended my Listener account within 12 hours of posting this review. If you needed any more evidence of them silencing those who stand up for the victims of sexual harassment on the site, here it is. 7 Cups claims they took this action after I "behaved in unconstructive ways" (Email from 7 Cups Account Review), behavior which seems to include me leaving this review about them after they took down one of my (unrelated) forum posts and imposed sanctions against my account because it allegedly violated the Community Guidelines. However, I feel this was really just an attempt to silence me because they are afraid of the truth getting out: that would mean they would have to try to confront the sexual harassment issue. After all, I have been receiving passive-aggressive messages from 7 Cups Admins every few days after my post about sexual harassment was taken down on 1/5/2021. The summary of my experience is that it has great potential but is mismanaged. First, volunteer Listeners are mistreated. As a Listener, you will be subjected to cliques of Listeners who will patronize you in every word they write. You will receive a similar experience when talking to most Admins. At least there, you can feel like it is slightly more warranted? Each role you take on requires you to complete monthly tasks. If you do not, they will no longer allow you to help the site in this way. This overloads dedicated volunteers and comes across as ungrateful for all the work they do. There are also cyber predators on this website, as with all websites, of course. I personally have been subjected to a Member insisting that I go into detail about my masturbation habits after I had said 'No' multiple times. Another all but begged me to tell her that I am sexually attracted to my mother and to make fake fantasies about that with her (Note: I am not!). Based on what I have heard, I was lucky. In the rooms, I saw countless Members complaining about Listeners insisting for them to send nudes and chat off-site. I met one Listener who told me that a Member hacked into her computer and located her. He proceeded to message her her own address, threatening her life if she did not send nudes. These are things that could happen anywhere on the Internet. We all know it is a dangerous place. The issue is that the Admins refuse to acknowledge this. When I made a PG post in the forums (which could only be seen by adults) about this very issue and how we should prevent it, it was removed 8 hours later. When I asked about it, I was told by an Admin that my post was not constructive and could potentially scare Users away. In other words, the Admins of 7 Cups would rather keep everyone calm and ignorant than arm the community against predators. 7 Cups leadership views their adult Members as even less able to handle upsetting yet important concepts than children. After all, I doubt the Admins and other higher-ups behind removing my post would even hesitate to explain to a small child why not to take candy from strangers. In addition, they punish Listeners for providing feedback on the site on the basis that it is "Unconstructive." If you make a feedback post, you will likely receive behavioral points against your account. They do not believe in free speech here, even to improve the site. This is funny, as they market themselves as somewhere people can freely vent and get things off their chest.

Full of predators and vulnerable teenagers. Not a good mix. Claim they check people on the teenage side, I made a fake Facebook and got on immediately. I’m a mum who was concerned about what her daughter was getting up to. Lots of drama in the chat rooms and older support people who shouldn’t really be talking to a 15 year old trying to help my daughter progress by bribing her into helping them first. As I said I wasn’t asked for ID yet they claim they check that teenagers are only on that side. How they do that is they ask for two social media handles. I’m 37, gave two fake social media’s and I have access now to potentially talk to thousands of teenagers. Be very wary, not enough done to protect teenagers clearly.

"If you want real marketing that works and effective implementation - Cap's got you covered. Needless to say we are extremely satisfied with the results. Nice work on your Cap."

7Cups is a great site for me personally! I was seeking help for my anxiety, but I needed it to be quick, simple and free. I stumbled upon 7Cups immediately. Tried it, and never regretted it! The process of getting a listener, or the person who you would be talking to is very simple, you'll get one within a minute, in my own experience. They are very friendly (haven't met a bad one!) and can help you feel better. The only issue? Lots of sounds and notifications coming in if you're a listener (which I recently got approved as) which can really disrupt your train of thought sometimes, found a way to mute it though. However, not too much of an issue though, fine with it entirely, just keep a lookout if you're sensitive to noise. The second issue which is more prominent on 7Cups is that as a listener (someone who listens to members) is that the notifications of members who seek your help but you are not comfortable taking does not go away, this can be a little bit of an irritation sometimes. Again, these flaws are very minor and are design issues, but 7Cups is affordable (free!) and useful, you'll find someone 24/7 to talk to. Whether you're feeling a little stressed/overwhelmed or tired about something you need to change in your life, 7Cups is the place to be! I hope you enjoy the supportive community as much as I do! If you want to find me on 7Cups, talk to me as a member, my username is @VaNasa!

It's a great experince. Highly recommended for everyone. As a listener it gives you a much need sense of resposibility and fulfilment!

I honestly like this website, it's helpful and it's nice to be able to both help and be helped.
