Meet Up review: shut down

Dear Meetup Personnel,

10/March/2016

I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere. My meet up group was shut down. Perhaps the monitor cannot understand Japanese? I am a grad school student studying linguistics, looking for paid volunteer students to join my class in which I am studying cognitive language development.

I received this message, "Meetup does not support groups whose sole purpose is to sell or market goods, services, events, or event spaces." I am doing none of these.

I am actually paying the volunteers because I am having difficulty finding people. I am not making money, in fact I am losing money.

Regards,
Jude
