What we’re about
This is a group for anyone in there 20's or 30's who's interested in making new friends that like to do stuff! Whether it's going out to a bar, riding some powder, or piling into a couple cars for a weekend trip to Moab. This is an open forum, so please, ideas are welcomed. I started this group to meet other people with the same mindset. As you will discover, Utahns are known to be extremely cliquey, and it is not the easiest place to make friends. Hopefully this group can change that!
I have created a general policy regarding attendance and conduct; citing issues that have plagued the Meetup community as a whole.
1. I am confident that I will be able to attend at the time that I RSVP. The star icon (banner shape on the web version) of the event page can be used to bookmark the event for later if my plans for that time are uncertain.
2. I understand that no-shows are a problem for the group. You wouldn't do this to your friends. Why would you think it is ok to do this to us? I get that life happens, but tying up spots unfairly blocks people who are eager to attend and are ready to commit. 2 no-shows will mean getting diverted to the back of the waitlist on future events in favor of the next in line. People who consistently sign up and no show will be subject to getting removed from the group. We track those on a spreadsheet.
3. I understand that dropping out last minute (after 12 pm the day of for evening events and after 6 pm the day before for earlier events) is problematic too. People who get added last minute from the waitlist often are unable to come since they have typically made new plans by that time. Dropping last minute will be counted as a no show at the organizer's discretion if a waitlist develops. People who get added from the waitlist after 12 pm the day of for evening events and 6 pm the day before for earlier events will not be subject to penalties.
4. I will treat all members with respect. Harassment of other members will not be tolerated during or outside of group events. We want to ensure a fun, safe and comfortable environment for everybody. It really comes down to a few basic rules that should be common sense.
Don't message people you have not met yet. Guys, most people find this creepy. Save it for the dating apps. However, you are more than welcome to message organizers privately with questions about the events or the group.
Don't send inappropriate/creepy messages to people's accounts.
Respect people's personal boundaries. This goes for both men and women.
If a member is making you uncomfortable, you are encouraged to reach out to Seth Jaffe via direct messaging through Meetup (or in-person at an event) so the problem individual(s) can be dealt with. Individuals who engage in this behavior this will be subject to getting banned from the group. Any credible reports of misconduct committed in other groups will be grounds for getting banned as well.
