Mod Post [Mod Post] ONLY RAoC Activity in Thank You Posts PLEASE

95 Upvotes

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE: THANK YOU POSTS

Recently, we have had an influx of thank yous for users who do not participate in RAoC, as well as thank yous for offers/exchanges from other subreddits such as r/RandomActsofHappyMail,r/postcrossing, r/penpals, etc).

We only allow RAoC activity on our thank you posts. Our Flair system is not for participation from other subreddits.

As a reminder, every single thank you that is posted is manually tracked as Flair by a small group of volunteers who give their time and energy to the subreddit. When non-RAoC activity is included in a thank you post here, it creates significantly more work for the Flair Helpers and Mod team. This is not what RAoC Flair is intended for.

Please only thank people for cards that were received directly from this subreddit. If it is suspected that you have thanked a user from activity outside of the subreddit, you will receive a message from the Mods. Repeat offenders run the risk of being banned from participating here.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them as a comment below and we will respond. Alternatively, feel free to send us a modmail.

Thank you,

Your dedicated Mod and Flair Helper teams

Exchange [Exchange] Postcards that show their origin! [Lithuania to WW, Oceania preferred]

8 Upvotes

Hi!

I've used Postcrossing and exchanged postcards with friends, but found this community today and I'd love to be a part of it:)

I have a few postcards with views of Lithuanian cities (my favorite postcards are the ones where you can see where they are from in any possible way) and I'd love to exchange them with you.

I've always had a deep appreciation for Oceania and the beauty of its nature and culture, so I'd love to send and receive to and from there, to bring me closer to my dream of going there, but I am open to everywhere!

Additionally - my birthday is the end of September, if you'd like a prompt!

Let me know if you're interested:)
