Rules & Directions

Ads will have no sexually oriented language or profanity whatsoever or they won't be posted. The same applies for ads asking for money. The following information is requested but not necessarily required: name, e-mail address, country (where you're at now), URL (if you have one), age, gender (yours), penpal preference, favorite IM, and additional comments (keep it short, please). When submitting your ad, click the submit button only once and your form will be mailed to me. Ads will be posted ASAP (sometimes 1-2 weeks).

I go to a lot of trouble to not correct any spelling, grammer and punctuation errors people make in their ads. Please don't complain to me if you check your ad and half of it's misspelled, that's how you sent it to me. I'd be happy to fix mistakes with an update.

If you'd like to edit an ad you've already posted, do not re-submit the form. Just fill out the Update form in the User Area and it will be fixed.

If you'd like to delete an ad you've posted fill in ALL information on the Remove form in the User Area.

If you're looking for a new penpal just click on the name of the penpal you'd like to write to and an e-mail composition window should open. For your convenience, all ads have the date that they were posted or updated at the bottom of the ad (this is not necessarily when they were submitted to me!). Please respect others wishes regarding the type of penpal they'd like.

Prisoners are welcome to submit an ad to this site for free. However, prisoners must make it very clear that they are incarcerated.

Yes, if you're under 18 you have to ask a parent or guardian before submitting an ad.

This is a new feature with different message boards and a chat feature to help you meet new people.

When you submit an ad to this site, your e-mail address will be added to a mailing list. You will receive one e-mail a month (usually on the 1st) which will inform you of any changes I've made to the site, as well as instructions for how to edit or delete your ad. This list is also to make sure all the e-mail addresses are current and working. If you don't want one e-mail a month from me, don't post your ad. This list of addresses will never be used for spamming and will never be used more than once a month unless there's something important that I feel my users need notified of. You cannot have your e-mail address posted in the listings without belonging to this list. I'm also the only one who has access to this list.

If you'd like to contact me with comments or questions, send an e-mail to admin (at) penfriends.com.au. I'm not looking for penpals right now, so please don't ask.
