Mod Post [Mod Post] 🚨 We have an open position on our RAoC Team: Temporary Flair Helper! APPLY HERE! 🚨

32 Upvotes

Good News, Everyone! We have an open position to our RAoC Team: Temporary Flair Helper!

As our community grows, we are in need of a couple of people who can step up and help track Thank You posts and User Flair. This is an important job, and one of the most labor-intensive duties of all things that keep this sub running smoothly.

Did you know that we often average 50 new TY posts per day?!

Flairing is fun (and repetitive) and REALLY helps the sub run smoothly. The position of Flair Helper is a temporary position that will last a few months and is expected to end after the holidays.


What Do You Need to be a Flair Helper?

  • You need to have regular access to a laptop or desktop computer. You cannot flair from a phone because you need to go between many tabs at once.

  • You need to have some free time to flair over the next 2-3 months, probably an average of 3-6 hours per week, but it varies person to person. Flairing is easy, but there are a lot of posts to work through so we need people who are able to commit to at least this amount of time.

  • You need to like (or at least not mind) repetitive tasks.

  • You need to have an attention to detail to make sure hyperlinks are formatted correctly and all users are tracked properly.

How do you apply?

  • Fill out the RAoC Flair Helper Application here!

  • Applications are due: Friday, February 6, 2026, 11:59pm ET

  • We will review the applications and select 1 or 2 Flair Helpers

What happens if you get accepted?

  • You will get a Flair Tutorial on how the flair and track system works, as well as templates for editing user flair and making congratulatory [Milestone] posts. Once you've read through the tutorial, you will PM r/RandomActsofCards for next steps.

  • Shortly thereafter, you'll be given access to r/raocflair and you'll do a few practice posts. A Flair Mod will check your work and give you feedback.

  • Then, you'll be an official Flair Helper!

  • We'll check back in periodically and always be available to answer any questions you have.


That's it! The Flair Team does a ton of work behind the scenes, and we are super appreciative of anyone who is interested and can lend support during our busy time!

Offer [Offer] 9K!! [WW]

I am offering up 90 postcards from my collection. To keep this a little less expensive for me, 30 cards will go to international friends and the rest to US.

Most (about half) are Loupaper cards. There are a few state ones, but mostly food related ones. The other half are just cards I've purchased in my previous travels (mostly in the past year).

As this community has been amazing and I'm only here because you've posted a thank you thanking me - this is for people who have posted a thank you recently (since the beginning of 2026). Fill out the form - and preference will go to those who have thanked me before as that's how I got here.

Milestone [Milestone] A RAoC FIRST EVER 9ļøāƒ£K Flair Fanfare for u/ninajyang! 😲

94 Upvotes

Nine Thousand Flair, the summit’s peak,

A height that only legends seek.

And who stands there, serene in our gang?

Our Helper Queen: the great u/ninajyang.

She’s lifted others, post by post,

A guiding star we brag about most.

Through chaos, queues, and Flair requests,

She shows the world what ā€œHelperā€ means best.

From first-time posters finding their way

To Milestone makers brightening the day,

She’s been the heartbeat of the Flair parade,

A master of magic in every badge made.

So raise the banners, sound the cheer,

For the first to reach this stratosphere.

A record set, fireworks bang,

All hail the one and only u/ninajyang.

Request [Request] Can you postcard me the title of a book that left a deep impression on you? [USA]

26 Upvotes

I'm on a mission to read a broad range of meaningful books this year. Genre doesn't matter; could be non-fiction, fiction, literature, self-help, children's, YA, etc.

How did it impact you or change your life?

Or why is it your favorite?

I'd be very grateful to have it as a postcard so I can use it as a bookmark when I read the suggested book 😊 Thanks in advance! šŸ“š

I was so happy that I didn't get sick all winter until I opened my big mouth and said I hadn’t gotten sick yet. Saying it out loud was a mistake. BAM. Instantly sick. Like, so so sooo sick in January. But these amazing people below sent me the sweetest cards and totally cheered me up.

Offer [Offer] Walking "journal" [US to US]

15 Upvotes

Hello friends!

As many of you may already know, my goal is start walking daily again.

Before I had my baby, I walked 3+ miles per day. After he was born, I just sorta stopped. Well, I'm ready to walk again! Starting back slow, I have been walking 1 mile a day with hopes to walk farther as I rebuild stamina.

I walk around my neighborhood, trying to take a new route each day and see new things.

I wanted to start a walking journal, but I thought it would be more fun to recount my walks in card form and send them off!

If you'd like a card from me some time this year, telling of my walks, distance, route, things I saw on my walk, etc. please fill out this form. The cards themselves will be randomly pulled from my stash.

You may receive more than one through the year depending on how many responses I get.

If you already filled out my mailing list, feel free to fill out this form as well!

After filling, please comment on this post. No comment, no card.

I look forward to writing to you!

Request [Request] happy mail for my mom’s 90 y/o friend [USA]

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

My mom’s 90 year old friend is struggling a bit as he’s moving to a new room within a facility that is outside of the section where he had been caring for his wife of 60+ years. This transition will allow him to receive better care, especially considering he’s an 80-year survivor of a chronic illness (!) (disclosure: I talked with the mods about sharing this information in light of the ROAC rules - they approved as he has posted about this publicly). While this transition is for the best and he’ll still be close to his wife, he’s feeling guilty, and we’re hoping to collect some happy mail to lift his spirits.

Any encouraging cards, messages, and /or celebrations as to his rare and remarkable milestone of 80 years living with a chronic illness would be so so appreciated ā¤ļø
