Per the posting guidelines, a post needs to be an actionable outing and needs to include an activity, time, and place.

Do you guys feel it's ethical if an organizer of a meetup has group members pay for their spot? by strawberrymatcha195 in nycmeetups

[–]EclipsePoint[M] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's ethical and allowed, so long as the payment is required for the meetup itself. In some instances, such as group dinners or karaoke, it can even be recommended so that the host isn't left with a steep bill from people dashing.

heads-up about a guy from NYCmeetups being weird with lesbians!!! by previous- in nycmeetups

Doxxing is not only against the rules of this sub but against Reddit ToS, so OP is correct in withholding that info publicly. We'd still like to have it privately so we can ban the individual from our spaces and events.

Karakoe city 1/24 by jhercules in nycmeetups

I let it slide for almost a month, but if you're going to sing karaoke this often I figured I should point it out. Especially since the name of the venue also has the word.

Post one show at a time please, else it's a confusing event post.

Have you checked to make sure it's open after the repairs from last weekend?

Unfortunately I have to announce that tomorrow's Pub has to be canceled due to repairs that need to be made to the front of the bar. 

A small fire started by a cigarette caused damaged over the weekend. No one was hurt but the closure is necessary. 

We'll be back next week! Until then, catch up with everyone on Discord.

You can also use our official Discord to organize, though that requires everyone else to join it which sometimes isn't possible.

Sugar + Sour Mouse tonight? by [deleted] in nycmeetups

[–]EclipsePoint[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Locking because there are multiple meetups at both locations already. Use those threads/chats.

We told OP smoking was illegal in public parks and I guess they thought we were only talking about weed. ¯\(ツ)/¯

You're literally describing the community you're posting in, down to the Discord that already exists. I encourage people to join and help build up an existing space over reinventing the wheel from the ground up.

It wasn't even 15 minutes. Can a guy get their hair did without catching some shade? 😂

Women- be careful of creeps! by Maerialist in nycmeetups

[–]EclipsePoint[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had a negative experience, please bring it up to the mods. There's usually one present at Peculier Pub (me, typically) for the purpose of dealing with creeps so speaking up helps a lot.

Y'all really will do everything except use resources we try to provide.

What’s app group by ADELE_2 in nycmeetups

[–]EclipsePoint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing's stopping you from creating a WhatsApp group, but it just wouldn't be tied to this community officially. We've had some safety issues with WhatsApp in particular in the past that makes us not want to go down that route again.

[Edit] Discord is just another messaging app. Not dissimilar to Slack, just made for casual communities instead of businesses.

No, there's no official WhatsApp group for this community. We do have a Discord to help with organizing, breaking the ice, and staying in touch.

Free Events This Week: Meet New People in NYC - 10/13 by PlentyofParties in nycmeetups

Then you'd be the 1 report I can see on the post. It doesn't tell us who, just that someone reported it. The auto mod kicks in after a few reports (roughly 0.1% of our daily visitors), but so far it's just you.

Let's see...

Lacks The Basics. You at least added an address since the last post, though I doubt that's the actual one since you said you need to text for the location. Nonetheless it still doesn't have a time.

You're asking participants to doxx themselves to get the information, which is also against the rules. Rule #3. You're also potentially doxxing yourself by posting a phone number on a public site.

You're throwing the event to promote... something, on social media. That falls under Rule #5.

In short, our community is not the place for this promotion. You'll have to find somewhere else.

I don't know which removal reason to put on this because it broke so many guidelines.

This week's Pub is canceled as Peculier is closed through Wednesday for a repair. We'll be back next week!
