As of the next update, it would appear that the most effective course of action would be to PM the chief of the tribe. Of course, this is not intuitive. The alternative is to rehost/repost which would be allowed but is not in the spirit of the rules.
Perhaps there could be an option in the future for a strictly limited number of mirrors/tribe adds from an existing post from a regular user. It might be that there are, say, three additional 'tribe slots' per snap that can only be filled by users of a certain level (as quality/spamming is obviously a concern). If you wanted to suggest something like this to the admin team, you can do so in /t/ideasforsnapzu.
I'm still trying to ascertain the whole "bug or feature"-ness of this before I put it forwards as a suggestion. I think I simply do not understand the issue with reposts and x-posts; they've never caused me a headache on other sites, and at least here they become aggregated in to one post. All this jumping through hoops just to make a community system works seems like the far inferior option.
So, I guess the question I am asking is - what's the deal with airplane food?
Sorry, I mean, what's the problem with reposting and x-posting? Why is so much effort being put in to avoiding this?
There's a sticky at the top explaining the tags. I'd suggest [Features] or [Site Behaviour]. Don't worry though, no one will get upset if you use the wrong one. I've made a ton of suggestions there in the last few days. :)
I think the reposting thing is just to maintain the quality of the site. TBH, if you have a case for changing it, post the suggestion and let the community vote on it and see what the admins' approach is. I do think, though, that a functional solution to xposting or similar is superior to duplication of the snap.

And aeroplane food? Apart from my inconsistent spelling convention?
