Allow a quiet time setting for Meet Up notifications.
Allow a quiet time setting for M-Up notifications. Essentially don't send me messages between XX:XX PM and XX:XX AM. Since I use my iPhone as my alarm - I hear the ping from meetup msgs recvd at 2,3 &4 AM. I wan't the msgs but they can wait till 07:30.

How silly. if the peeps cant be in charge of their own phone not to get disturbed during their precious sleep...then why are you trying to do it for them. You're rewarding BAD BEHAVIOR!

Why don't you put your iPhone on Airplane mode? I use my iPhone too & I avoid receiving texts & calls. You can still use Wifi in airplane mode.

So you want a setting that disables messages during some period of time you specify. Meaning you DON'T want to get a message about an event you've RSVP'd to if it is during your quiet time. EVEN if that message is an "event cancelled" or a comment indicating a last minute change of location due to a traffic nightmare.
Simplest solution is to uninstall the meetup application and use the web interface if you want to look at meetup things. The Meetup iPhone application is of little value, IMHO.

just turn the sound completely off on your IPhone... your alarm will go off but nothing else will...

@fly, the point is that most of us want to be able to hear other text mssgs and calls but not be disturbed by a meetup announcement.
@Jack, it's not an email. It is an actual part of the Meetup app and it would not be a big deal for Meetup to implement. -

Okay, I don't even have a smart phone, but I have an alarm setting. Basically, it disables all sounds except the alarm clock.

This is what email filters are for. Make one that sends meetup messages to a folder so it doesn't "ding" in your inbox. Or if that's not possible with your setup, just send them to another email address. It's really not worth having Meetup implement a special case for it.

Really? You want thousands of people to modify their way of interacting so you can get your beauty sleep? Well, I want to be able to call people from my alarm clock, but I don't think T-mobil cares when I complain about that!
Why am I even responding to this idiocy?

If work needs to wake me up from sleep for a message (this reply to franks situation), then work provides me a device I leave on. If frank etc are just wanting to control their personal inbox, then they will have best success using phone settings or/and different email accounts for what they call Spam. You may win the battle with Meetup on this, but the problem is bigger - and under your control On Your End.

Frank thanks - We need votes

people should not have to silence their phone or disable all emails to avoid meetup spam. Some of us need to hear new email come in because we're on-call but meetup makes sure we don't get any sleep.

Tricia, I know its sooooo frustrating and yet it seems like a simple software setup fix. i hope we don't need like a thousand votes to get a simple fix.

Yeah, same here. I had to make a choice between getting all Meetup notifications or none at all because if I get a text message I want to be able to hear it but it upset me when I would wake up just to see that it was a Meetup announcement.

Thanks Candice. I do have that but it would be a hassle to reset the volume for my notifications, everyday. I'm hoping for set it and forget it.

Twitter has a setting like what you're suggesting, where you can "turn off" message notifications between certain hours. I suppose the same would be useful for this site's barrage of notifications as well.
As a related note, on my Droid I control 4 different volume settings (media, notifications, ringtone, and alarm.) I can have the alarm at max volume to wake me up but the ringer, media, and notification tones at 0/off. I imagine you could do the same on an iPhone. Check your settings?

YES!! I had to change my app settings cause I would be woken up all the time for a Meetup announcement of some sort.

If the phone is on silent, how would the alarm wake me up?
