Different teams have different rules. Some are very gung-ho, want to be The Best, and kick out anyone who isn't meeting some level of activity. Some, like the tribe I belong to, are very relaxed; any level of activity, including none at all, is fine. As the chief, it's up to you to define the rules.

The lack of messaging is a big gap in the game system. People have been using various means to communicate, including the Tribe Contacts page, threads in the forums, FaceBook groups, and other external web-based chat groups.
