These postcards arrived from Hong Kong via Postcrossing, a year apart. The one above arrived on 2 February 2023, and the one below, on 3 January 2024.
A couple of weeks ago, when I was sorting through my postcards, I realised that they had been sent by the same person. How that could be? A mistake of the system? It is simpler: she or he holds more than one Postcrossing account.
I do not really understand what is the aim of having more than one account. And that is what Postcrossing says about having multiple accounts:
Postcrossing does not welcome multiple accounts per person. The project is designed with safety and fairness in mind and for that, certain limits have been applied to each account. By having more than one account, those restrictions no longer apply, creating several problems for other members and for Postcrossing as well. [...]
We occasionally tolerate that one person holds more than one account if within a reasonable amount, and only if we see strong evidence of proper usage. But, we still do not welcome such practices and we strongly discourage anyone from doing it. Postcrossing monitors the project for multiple accounts held by a single person, and we reserve the right to delete any such accounts without warning.
Hmm I feel like you should maybe report this to Postcrossing admins. It's not really fair on other users
ReplyDeleteI did so. But i guess they already know, if this person is using the same name and address.
DeleteI recall a couple profiles where people claim they have an extra account for their pet. If a cat has the ability to affix a stamp, they should have their own account I say!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you are right. The problem is that I wouldn't know what to write to a cat!
DeleteI've never written to a cat but I have written to two Postcrossing dogs.
Delete:)
DeleteIt's great that dogs can read nowadays! ;)
