At this time I would like to make several suggestions to Meetup that might make it more user friendly.
Please make it a setting that users can change for notices. As an event organizer, when I’m checking the site or mobile app and see several notices that have nothing to do with an event I’m not going to, or haven’t organized is a waste of time.
I think a lot of people are going to agree with this one, ONLY the creator of an event, or the group’s organizer should have the ability to make changes to an event. I have had comments of mine that relay information deleted by other event organizers. Also I have the ability to delete other people's events. If a person had malicious intent they could delete the event of another organizer and there is no way to see who did it.
The organizer for Westchester Geeks hosted a Halloween party last year and set the attendance limit since they were inviting friends outside of the group. A few days before the event, someone went in and changed the limit, this made them mad. They had their suspicions, but no way to confirm it.
Another request is to set the default of which groups displayed on the home page. If I’d like suggestions based on my interest, then I’ll look for meetup groups. Sometimes people like to check only what their current groups are doing.
Meetup is trying to be like Facebook and they’re forgetting that they’re not.
If you have any suggestions, please post them in the comments, and I’ll send meetup support an email.
