The method includes receiving a new online relationship having new relationship features different from existing relationship features and characteristic of the new relationship; aggregating the existing and new relationship features as aggregate relationship features to define an aggregate relationship; storing the aggregate relationship features as relationship data; and accessing the relationship data to determine whether a selected network interaction from one of the members is permitted in view of at least one of the corresponding aggregate relationship features, and facilitating the selected network interaction when permitted; wherein the corresponding aggregate relationship features include at least one of the network interaction type, the network interaction content, or the network interaction format.
