... and of those five, for two of them the comments consist of me complaining that the meetup location hasn't been included in the title.
That being said, personally I don't mind the meetup posts that much, and I'm not sure that moving them to their own section would be an improvement. I find it pretty likely that nobody would ever look there.
Next iteration: meetup announcements occupy their own tab, top of Discussion starts with an "ad" line about recent announcements, in a bright color or otherwise distinguished: "Recent meetup announcements: Moscow, Tel-Avid, Boulder, London", every city is a link.
If true, what should we infer about the policy of having them cluttering up Discussion?
That policy forces everybody to see the meetup announcements, and thus probably increases meetup attendance (and knowing your announcement will have a wide (forced) public encourages people to create meetups).
No, it doesn't. Partially because of the meetup clutter I don't look at the posts page at all and just go straight into comments.
And what is the cost-benefit analysis for forcing everyone to read about meetups all over the globe?
