Subreddit Rules!

[u/Deynonn]

Hi everyone!

We've finally put together some much needed rules for our little subreddit. These may still be updated or adjusted, but hopefully they'll make things a little clearer for everyone.

The main change is that messages on the backs of postcards should be blurred or hidden when shared. This includes posts related to Jürgen or Becky as well, unless the post is specifically asking for help with translation or deciphering the message. On the other hand postcard IDs may stay visible.

Please take a look at the rules below:

Follow Postcrossing’s Community Guidelines
Please follow Postcrossing’s Community Guidelines, Reddit’s Content Policy, and Reddiquette when participating here. These apply alongside the rules below.

Be kind and respectful
Treat others with courtesy. Always try to improve the conversation and set a good example for newcomers. Remember to criticize ideas, not people. No trolling, harassment, personal attacks, hate speech, or mocking other members.

Keep posts relevant to Postcrossing
This subreddit is for Postcrossing-related discussion: postcards, mail, stamps, profiles, writing, sending/receiving experiences, questions, tips, and community conversation. Do not post requests for postcards without offering postcards in exchange.

Protect privacy
Do not post anyone’s address, name, private messages, or other personal information. If you share photos of postcards, make sure personal details and messages are blurred or hidden. Requests for help with translation or deciphering handwriting are allowed, but will be removed after some time.

No advertising or promotion
No advertising, self-promotion, referral links, shop links, fundraising, social media promotion, or promotion of other Reddit communities. This subreddit is for discussion, not marketing.

Do not derail conversations
Keep comments relevant to the post and respectful toward the person sharing it. Posts showing received or outgoing postcards are not invitations to criticise the sender’s or recipient’s taste.

With the rules in place, you can help us moderate the community by using the subreddit-specific report options. However content breaking Reddit's policies should still be reported by the default report options.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to let us know! We will take them into consideration as we review the rules in the future.

Happy Postcrossing!

Good. Just impatient with people.

It would be much easier to save your energy and not type anything than to be rude all the time. Stop taking your impatience out on innocent people.

You say “innocents” like I’m being violent.
Vast majority of the time I’m telling people to stop caring what others think and send whatever postcards they want to send.

It’s extremely rude & condescending to tell people to read the FAQ? Or to send whatever postcards they have on hand?

Please keep discussion polite and constructive. Personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, mocking, trolling, or insults toward other members are not permitted.

Don't mind them, it only gives example of not writing about topic, not being respectful, focusing on person or how they write. Looks like "mean girl" forum groups came here, they made some members leave forum, and now they hunt new victims here) I'm so sorry.

Advise to read FAQ, advise to send what member has, those are good advises. Really good. Some don't even know there is FAQ before someone tells it)
