Even though I’ve stepped down as the organizer for all of the Meetup groups I was involved in, they kept bugging me every few days to “be an organizer” for the very groups I had left. Want to delete yourself from Meetup entirely? Here’s the remove from Meetup link.
I wasn’t the only one! I joined a group, not even as an organizer, and they spammed the hell out of me to become one. Took some doing, but I found the same method to get off their list.
Done!!.. thanks…
I was just about to rant about the same thing. I’ve never been an organizer or even attended a Meetup, but I signed up for a few local ones in case they start really happening. Now I get three emails a week begging me to be the organizer–and adding insult to injury by offering me a discount on the FEE I have to pay to be the organizer.
I already have enough unpaid jobs without taking a job I have to pay to do…
Another happy opt-out-ee.
When I found out that you were going to have to pay to be an organizer, I stepped down from my positions right away…. but I kept getting the stupid emails to be an organizer… There were so many I was ready to pull my hair out. So, I quit meetup all together…. Too bad, too. The idea for the site was a really good one.
i was meetup member, have removed my account a while back (I guess it’s last year). It’s just because of one thing: they’re rude (it’s what I feel, they blamed instead of trying to fix)
🙁
I used to like meetup and then they wanted cash. I dont see how this will work in the long run.
Thanks, removed myself. Basically all my meetups are leaderless, and so annoying emails were coming at me all the time…
Oddly enough, when I was doing my own unsub process, they actually gave me that link somewhere along the way. I thought it nice of them; sad to see that not everyone was easily given that opportunity.
Yeah thanks for the link, I’ve been meaning to look into this for a while but haven’t had the chance. No, I do not want to manage a group, leave me alone!!
