******* PEN PAL RULES*******
***UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IN ANYWAY IS ANYONE IN THIS GROUP TO GIVE AWAY ANYONE'S ADDRESS, REAL NAME OR ANY OTHER PRIVATE INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY OBTAIN FROM ANY OTHER MEMBER IN THIS GROUP TO ANYONE NOT IN THIS GROUP OR POST IT ANYWHERE ELSE ON THIS SITE OR ANY OTHER SITE! IF YOU ARE CAUGHT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT OF THIS GROUP AND REPORTED TO THE SITE OWNERS!***
WRITING
1. I highly recommend getting/using a PO Box as a mailing address. This is especially good if you are nervous about posting your real address on the Internet. However, as mentioned above... the addresses are to be kept within this group... NO exceptions!!!
2. Anyone who posts their address is fair game! (This includes SG's and LG's!) It might be polite to ask but unless otherwise noted... go ahead and send out a letter or card!
3. It is not required that you continue to write to everyone that writes you. The idea here is to find people that you 'click' with and enjoy writing to.
4. If you have a hard time of thinking of where to start, check the members profiles before writing to them. That should give you an idea if you have similar interests!
POSTING IN THE GROUP
1. If you have received mail, BE POLITE and promptly post that you have received it in the Mail Received thread. People like to know that their mail has reached it destination.
2. On that same note... if you are mailing something out... please post that you are in the Mail Sent thread.
3. At the beginning of each month, there will be a thread for that months birthdays. Feel free to post your birthday and address for greetings!
4. Please use the address thread ONLY for posting your address in. If you do not want to post your address, then you may post your contact info there. Hopefully this will help make it a little more organized!
5. Inappropriate threads and those pertaining to non-group material will be deleted.
MEMBERSHIP
1. I will delete any member from this group that has gone grey for more than 2 months. If you know you are going grey and also know you will be back and would like to stay in the group, please e-mail me before you go grey.
2. I will delete anyone that does not keep an active journal and/or does not make comments on the site. If you haven't updated your journal in three months... I will delete you.
3. LURKERS will NOT be tolerated! If you have not posted any kind of contact info, have not sent anyone a card or letter or posted anything in this group since joining, you have no reason to be here. You will be deleted!!!
4. Housekeeping threads will be posted twice a year - if you do not post in them within the stated time frame you will be deleted and have to go through the vouch process again.
5. If you ARE deleted from the group for any reason, I will AUTOMATICALLY remove your address from any and all threads. This is for your own safety and peace of mind. Additionally I will remove any address from the thread upon request.
6. Once you are accepted into this group you will have one month to -
post your address
send a vouch letter if necessary
If you do not fulfill these two simple requests within the month, you will be AUTOMATICALLY removed from the group.
