Not recently. Years ago. I haven’t had much to do with Meetup.com in ages.

The issue was that these filled up the meetup, so real people would be shown a page, saying the meetup was full, and would they like to be on a waiting list?

I didn’t really want to make people jump through extra hoops, to sign up. It was an obscure topic.

TBH, I was damn pissed, when it started happening, and dropped the service right away. I didn’t spend any time, trying to figure out ways to combat it.
