like Tri-Cities .. it doesn't appear to be a person, but rather a link to teh local newspaper. This "Tri-Cities" is moderator of... you guessed it... Tri-Cities tribe.
I thought tribe.net was for individuals to connect, make friends, etc... but for cities to act as people??

Mon, August 27, 2007 - 7:03 PMWhy not? Tribe is about Community and a city is---um, ----a community. -

Re: Can a city subscribe to tribe.net and have a profile?
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 7:06 PMok but do you converse with them?
When I read the TOU it says that you can subscribe to trib e i fyou are 18 or over. Yes, the cities are over 18. The "you" implies to me a person, but nowhere does it say a person. A city is not a person.
I just feel that these cities are takign advantage of tribe for purposes of profit and exposure. -

Mon, August 27, 2007 - 7:11 PMWell, yeah---you're not really conversing with a city--just the one guy or gal who chose to put it on Tribe. In that sense they are claiming speaking rights for the whole city;-) -

Mon, August 27, 2007 - 7:48 PMyou are not required to use your 'real name' on tribe tho ~ I often have meaningful conversations with rather *wacky* tribe-handles & as long as the commercial interests don't get too spammy ~ the networking is quite helpful, for me...
I'm 'friends' with The Endup & Bondage A Go-Go here ~ both clubs in SF with "reputations" to spread around :)
love all-ways,

Re: Can a city subscribe to tribe.net and have a profile?
Tue, August 28, 2007 - 6:37 AM.....a arts mag. editor joined a tribe of mine with no real 'friend' interest-and she was pretty up front. Felt pretty impersonal, even with a 'name' attached.......
I included the entire county with my Tacoma tribe-without outlying homesteader-types, we wouldn't have many members....my 'geographic' area includes Mt. Rainier.... -

Re: Can a city subscribe to tribe.net and have a profile?
Wed, August 29, 2007 - 6:25 AMCathy, I think it's shameless, crass and commericialistic. A more econ. conservative person than myself...and yes, I am a real person, might look upon this as a marketing stroke of genius and opportunity to penetrate the alternative community for their straight job bank accounts.
I would pose this question to the community: Can an Alt moderate a tribe? As the site is set up, it seems the answer is yes. Should this be so? And...when does a commercial-alt get catagorized as 'spam'? -

Re: Can a city subscribe to tribe.net and have a profile?
Wed, August 29, 2007 - 8:16 AMThanks Philip for your comments . I agree exactly.
I wrote to tribe.net with this question and did not get answered.

Re: Can a city subscribe to tribe.net and have a profile?
Wed, August 29, 2007 - 9:36 AMas qualities like "shameless, crass & materialistic" are personal opinions ~ I think that this call is better left to the moderators to access on an individual basis
love all-ways,

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Can a city subscribe to tribe.net and have a profile?
Wed, August 29, 2007 - 10:08 AMprobably because there are far more important things to deal with.

I don’t have too much problem with alts unless they flame or maintain they are real to trick people or mock them…
I don’t have a problem with a Alt moderating – as long as they do a good job of it…
A commercial-alt might be spam – but some post interesting information and have conversations and I think they are okay… However, when they are just there to advertise rather than educate them they should go !
