Organizers independently manage and operate their Meetup groups. They may set membership criteria or ground rules for participation and are responsible for moderating content on their group pages. Organizers can also remove members at their discretion, as long as their actions comply with our Community Guidelines.
If you’re denied membership in a group, you’re welcome to join another group or create your own. Starting a new group in your area can be a great way to bring people together, and we’re here to support you along the way.
If you believe an organizer’s actions violate Meetup policies, you can report the issue using our official reporting flow. We review on-platform activity and take action when we’re able to confirm a policy violation. In accordance with our Privacy Policy, we’re unable to share details or outcomes of investigations.
Meetup can’t moderate behavior that occurs outside the platform. If you have safety or legal concerns, please contact your local authorities.
You can also block an organizer to prevent further contact. To reduce the risk of escalation, we recommend avoiding additional interaction. If you have relevant on-platform messages or links that support your report, please include them to help with our review.
