General Guidelines:
No monetary requests. Money feels impersonal and is often associated with scams. Items such as cards, clothes, games, books, and handcrafted item requests are more likely to be answered here.
No fundraising/charity requests. We sympathize with most causes, but the bottom line is that you're asking for money. Also, most of our members ignore these requests anyways.
No Flaming, insults, derogatory comments and otherwise rude behavior. If you see a post here that is inflammatory please use report function to notify a mod.
Stay safe. Do not give away personal information in posts, only give your address via PM once you are sure you want to send / receive anything.
Use the search function. Many requests and offers have been made. Sometimes people are still willing to offer kindness even if their post is expired.
Keep your post updated. Make sure you update the post so others know if your request was fulfilled or the offer was given away.
Remember to thank the giver. They love to know that an item was received and as a general matter of kindess, it is always nice to thank the person who sent you something. If compelled you could always make a pictograph about it and send it to /r/pics and share the story.
Try to give as good as you get. Balance the number of REQUESTs you make with an equal number of OFFERs. Members will respect you more and won't think you're taking advantage of them.
Always pay it forward! Continue the cycle of kindness by passing on the kindness offered to you in anyway you can.
