Are you sure the not spamming thing is a good idea it means that the nearest meetups section doesn't include London even if there is a meetup?

Agreed. Being an advocate of guess culture I approve of the higher order thinking (thinking that others might think that you're spamming) but in this case I think it's not efficient. Ergo there should be an explicit posting every time there's a meeting imo.

I'm not sure, no. But people have said (explicitly, implicitly and passive-aggressively) that they find the number of meetup posts annoying, and I think at one point London was a plurality of those.

If I'm sufficiently on the ball, I can post for the 16th not long after this meetup, so that we are still in the nearest meetups section. And if it turns out that I just run a social on the 16th, I might deviate from my stated algorithm and post it anyway.
