❗️It is currently only possible to remove and/or ban members from the desktop web version of Meetup.
|
Organizers (including co-organizers and assistant organizers) have the ability to remove or ban members from your groups. You decide which option is best for which members:
-
If you remove a member from your group, they can request to rejoin at any time.
-
If you ban a member, they are removed from your group and are prevented from sending a request to rejoin. Consider a ban if a member’s behavior is negatively affecting the experience of other group members, or otherwise in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.
👉 To make sure members are a good fit for your group from the start, we give organizers tools to screen members and control who can join their groups. Organizers who decline a member’s request to join their group also have the ability to ban that member from there.

- Under Joined, you’ll see how long it has been since that member has visited your group (clicking Last visited a second time will reverse the order they’re listed in).
