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.
