RE: Homestead Hacks

Great post!
Thanks for using the ecoTrain tag but please do not use it in future. We use this tag to organise the ecoTrain and it makes it hard for us when others use it.
The ecoTrain tag is meant to indicate membership in the ecotrain group and is not a topic tag for general use.
Thank you !

I am confused. How can you claim a tag as “yours?” I mean, I would love to claim certain ones for my own personal use, too, but I realize this is a free-sharing platform.

Because we created the ecoTrain group and we created the tag, which is a name tag and not a topic tag.
Other groups like @familyprotection or individuals like @quinneaker are also using their own tags as well.
So I would think it is common sense and common courtesy to not use those tags if you are not a member of the group or the individual itself.
But I understand that people might sometimes think ecoTrain is a topic, but it is not, therefore the friendly request to not use the tag, and usually people understand our issue and refrain from using the tag next time.

My apologies, I didn't realize that. However funny enough I was trying to join the group yesterday but the confirmation email link when you click 'confirm' doesn't take me anywhere. I'll get it figured today though ^_^

No worries.
I don´t know about this email thing, this was set up by @eco-alex, what I do know is that right now the train is full anyway, we might take on a new passenger some time in February though.

Ah I guess I'm just trying to join the chat, thanks for the info!
