I was there a couple of years back. Back then, things were basically okay, but there were several people who cared more about getting the perfect postcard or stamps than anything else. Back then, there were only some profiles of men asking for erotic cards. I went back few weeks ago and have left after about 6 postcards. This time round there were quite a few men asking for erotic cards. I did not draw them all, but several were actually listed as supporters of Postcrossing. There were considerably more than previously. The reason I left was one particular profile. I drew that man's profile and would have had to send a postcard to him. He was asking for erotic cards and even condoms for his collection! Sadly, I'm not joking... Also, he had an Instagram link on his profile. After reading his profile, I had a look at his Instagram and there were several nude photos of him on it. Again, sadly, I am not making this up... The site is for people 13 and older. Owing to my most recent experience, I can not recommend Postcrossing for anyone younger than 18. I personally decided to join Postcrossing again because I have a disability and can't go out much. So I was hoping for sending and receiving friendly messages. I was not prepared for this. It is stated on Postcrossing that it is all about connection. But I think for many people it really isn't. Most profiles are very long with long bullet lists of cards they would like to receive and/or occassional requests for stamps, happy mail and other things (like those condoms...). Most people with those long types of profiles are saying in them that they are not expecting to be sent any of their most wanted postcards, but those bullet lists do give a different impression, at least in my view. The reason I left is having come across so many men's profiles asking for erotic cards (and that "special" fellow). So, if you decide to join for or with a child, please be careful.
