Since the purpose of the promoted posts is in actually announcing the meetups, there is no need to visibly announce the meetups prior to posting the to-be-promoted announcement post. So I suggest the following procedure:

  • A "staging" post is created in the discussion area (maybe in the main section, maybe even promoted) that specifies (1) the time period for which it'll be collecting meetup announcements and (2) the announcement posting day. For example, if posted today, it could capture 16-22 May, with deadline 8 May.
  • Up till the posting day, meetup announcements are collected as top-level comments to the staging post.
  • On the posting day, all announcements are collected as a new post in the main section, and this post is promoted.
