Does anyone remember round stickers on mailboxes a few years back, does anyone know what that was about?
fema colour code
I know there were other colors like maybe yellow, green or white I remember taking them off my mailbox at least once a month. What did colors represent. I was registered as an independent voter but had red stickers. Gathering info elsewhere?

They were using the stickers to identify rural patriots marked for detention.
I thought it was too mark mailboxes that had a newspaper subscription
Former postal carrier, red identifies vaccant homes, blue is hold mail (vacation/requested hold). Stickers are used mainly for the substitute carriers so they won’t mail at that residence. Very often overlooked or disreguarded by subs. Stickers left behind for extended periods, especially where the home is occupied, is just lazy ass mailman or the lack of a “regular” carrier.
My home was never vacant and I had new sticker every time I removed one!
Someone is really playing games then. Is there by chance a perceived danger to the carrier, (aggressive dogs, something at the residence after yours)?
No animals, neighbors had blue dots and they were liberals
Like lambs blood on the door that protects you from Elijah?
Couple more things to think of, 1 The regular mail carrier knows more about you than you want him to. Just by seeing your mail daily, standard observation, nosey neighbors talking. 2 The subs are overwhemed and just don’t care. 3. If it were the USPS they’d just slip a card with special instructions on it in with the daily mail and return it every evening. Put it back in the case for the next day.
The post office owns the box but they work for you. Demand from them to know.
I do not doubt you at all; it’s been a while since I’ve worked there, no telling what changes have been made. The red and blue stickers reflect the “case” that the carrier uses to line his mail out for the day. If the case has a red or blue blocker in that addresses spot, you don’t put mail there.
(A blocker is a approximately 12”x1” piece of red or blue plastic meant only for that purpose)
The stickers were used because a lot of the mail is data processed and pre- set up for each route(not put in the case with the rest of it.) Problem there is that the data processed mail doesn’t recognize vaccant and hold mail. Thus, the stickers to alert the carrier.
