Is this forum has a feature to hide all topics/posts of persons from certain countries?
Or only “Ignore user’s posts” option available in their profiles?

No, that is not possible.
That would also go against the spirit of Postcrossing - we want to communicate with people from all over the world, no matter where they live or where they come from.

How do you add tags to your thread, to get found better? 
Because you can’t test that in the Test Station I moved your question to here.
Please click on the pencil in the headline on the right and then you can choose which tags you want to use.

Ok, that’s the pencil next to the title of my thread, right? 
Because for example in this case you can only chose from the existing tags, and not add a tag with “christmas” for example?
No, you can only choose the tags that are mentioned in the drop down menue.
What’s the name of the thread that is a glossary of all the common terms used in Postcrossing? I can’t find it, the only one I see is the Dictionary for Postcrossers, but that’s for translations of commonly used phrases. I’m looking for the one that includes explanations of what abbreviations and terms mean.
Is it this one?

Hi! I’m a mum helping out in a kindergarten in Australia. Our class has opened a Postcrossing account and we’re keen to get the ball rolling!
(I’ve been doing Postcrossing for a longer period with my own daughter at home, who is five and in the aforementioned class. We love it!)
If anyone would be kind enough to send us a postcard to get our program up and running, we’d be much obliged! We’d also be happy to send you one in return. The kids are loving writing up the postcards, and we’ve got a lot of kids to get through!
Please DM me if you’d like to help out our little 'uns! Check out our profile for details.
Thank you, all, and see you on the Postcrossing seas!

Hi there, I think you need to delete this post here and repost it to the ‘Education’ section of the forum.
Best wishes

Thanks, Charles. I’m having some trouble navigating this forum. How does one start a new post, and ensure it is in the correct section? I have been doing this for awhile but rarely use the forum. What I mostly want is for the kids to start receiving postcards asap, so their postcard/geography program can get started. Cheers!! 
Welcome to the forum.
You can start open/the topic
Postcrossing & Education
I see the new topic:
Just took a look at the Education thread that you pointed out, but it seems to be used primarily for teachers who have classes that want postcards. So I don’t think newbies looking to be educated in the ways of the Forum are likely to go there and say, oh, that seems to be a resource for me. So where can a newcomer to Postcrossing get the skivvy on navigating the Forum?
Welcome to the Postcrossing Forum! As you’ve opened a topic in Education, I moved your first attempt with all the helpful answers to Help!.
Exactly the way it happened here. If they don’t find the place where to post their information and do it somewhere else, usually someone tells them where a better place might be. If then a post is being flagged as “something else” and you tell us in the flag where to move the contents to, someone from the moderating team will help and move the content there.
The forum grew a lot since it was installed. It’s difficult to find a way around as a newcomer. I like that usually everybody helps each other
