Explore Melbourne is the largest meetup group in Australia with nearly 36,000 members. We have eight simple rules in place to protect our community and for everyone to have a positive experience.
Not a dating group
We are not a dating group. There are other groups for that.
No-phone number policy
We have a no-phone number policy. It is not okay to ask members for their phone numbers or to share your number with others. Please use meetup’s messaging system if you wish to communicate with someone you have met.
Events only open to people aged 18 and older
Due to the Meetup policy, our events are only open to people aged 18 and older. According to their policy, “Meetup members and organizers must be at least 18 years of age. Therefore, groups must be targeted at, and only offer opportunities for those who are over 18.”
Refrain from adding people to WhatsApp or other groups
We ask that you refrain from adding people to WhatsApp or other groups. This is because we have had issues with people attending our events to create subgroups on whatsapp and doing their events in parallel. We also end up losing members.
Do not advertise other events or groups
Please do not advertise other events or groups. We do allow other event organizers to attend our events. However, please refrain from promoting your groups or events.
Don’t be clingy
Please don’t be clingy. Please allow our members to socialize with others too.
We don’t allow carpooling
We don’t allow carpooling due to safety incidents in the past.
Do not sell products/services
Please do not sell products/services (Including MLM, Pyramid Schemes, and Mentorship) to our members during or after the event.
By joining our events, you agree to the above rules. Any violation of the above rules will result in permanent removal from our groups without any warning.
