Option for tribe chiefs and moderators to add their tribes to a snap

I've noticed that when people snap a link, often one of the top comments will be "Can you add this to the /t/_______________?"

If it was possible for a tribe chief or moderator to do this themselves without re-snapping the content, I think that would focus discussion on the topic itself.

Let me know what you think!

    It's a great idea! In the Release 5.1 blog post we mention that this option will be available in the upcoming 5.2 release, we are calling it Snap Mirroring for now, but might change the name to something different before release.

    Snap Mirroring
    Tribe leadership will gain the ability to mirror snaps directly into their tribe if the tribe was not included in the original post. This will allow new or established tribes to build up their content as well as provide additional engagement to the snaps being mirrored. Functionality protecting snap posters will assure any tribe leadership abusing the snap mirroring feature can be banned from mirroring additional snaps. (More details on this will be released as we get closer to its completion)

      thanks for the response! I guess whoever decided to add it to 5.2 is at least as much of a genius as I am!

        Oh, I'm thinking you're giving us a little too much credit :D Einstein was a genius, we're just a few guys trying to build something special!

      I think this is a great idea too! I have definitely run into this issue before.

      Do you know when 5.2 release might happen? Not to be overly nosy, I just love updates.

        We don't have a set date for 5.2, but we are working on several improvements to current functionality that we feel are more time sensitive in the continued growth of snapzu. The upcoming update will include general improvements to the "Snap List" page which will merge the Snap List page & Manage Snaps sections into a single page. The merge will allow for additional sorting and filtering functionality for better overview, organization and management. We will also be introducing text posts as well as comments into the overview so that profile owners can see a full history of their posts. The "Snap List" (snaps tab) will be renamed to "Posts" because we will now be displaying 3 types of content. The 2nd big feature update is the Pinups / Snapzine functionality. We want to give everyone the ability to not only pin snaps but also text posts and specific comments. You will no longer be pinning (as to avoid confusion with pinterest), but saving content. The snapzine area and editions will not change, but we will improve all functionality across the board. There will be misc improvements to other functionality / visuals and general profile management, but those are the two big items for next update.

        Edit: As for a date, we think sometime in mid August.

          Sounds awesome! I can't wait to see it implemented.
