Automatic Address Cleanup for Inactive Users

2026-07-07 12:21


We have introduced a new automatic process to clean up mailing addresses for users who have not been active for a long time.

The main reason for this change is to reduce the chance of postcards getting lost. If someone hasn't visited Cardzilla for a while, they might have moved and would no longer receive postcards sent to their old address.

What changes for an inactive user?
· Their mailing address is automatically removed.
· Their address will no longer be shown to other users.
· They won't be able to arrange new direct swaps.

What stays the same?
The user keeps all other features of the site. They can still:
· Send surprise postcards.
· View a feed of delivered postcards.
· Like postcards.

How to get full access back?
It is very simple to reactivate full functionality. All the user needs to do is fill in their current mailing address again in their profile. Once they do this, they can participate in swaps and receive postcards as before.

We believe this will help keep the community active and ensure postcards reach their intended recipients safely.
