The entries wouldn't have to have more than the Chief's code. He/she is doing the recruiting, so he/she can post his/her friend code.

Re-posting needn't be more difficult than cutting and pasting the same text from any handy text editor. Write the post once, either in the wikia post editor or in a handy text editor. Either way, save the text anywhere on the computer/mobile device that you use to access the forums. Paste the text into the wikia post editor and hit reply. Easy.

The actual frequency is negotiable, but I don't see 2-3 minutes a week as burdensome. It's like the classified ads. People expect any listing to be current, accurate, and instantly available for action. I'm seeing a fair amount of turnover with lower level players getting booted from a tribe because they can't contribute the resources to the Tribe that higher level players can. I don't agree with the practice, but is seems pretty common.

I just suggested the weekly schedule, because it keeps the deadwood as clear as possible and makes the topic maximally useful for both the recruiter and the player seeking a tribe. Plus, it pretty much eliminates the point of bumping, since post order is up for grabs every week anyway. If you want to be at the top, then post first after the reset. Also, chiefs wouldn't have to edit or erase their posts to deactivate the "listing." It would just lapse in less than a week.

Still, this is your baby, as I have said before, and the schedule you like is the one that matters most, at least in the short term. I'm actually wondering, from a management standpoint, if it might be easier to make the Tribal stuff a forum section of its own. There could be a category for recruiting, and another where Tribe members could chat each other in a "one topic per Tribe" format. Chats would just be replies to the topic post.
