They're probably Emacs users
It could be worse. They could be nano users.
Edit: I ment this a joke on the war of Vim vs Emacs vs the world. I guess it didn't come out that way.

Huh? I don't even know what that means. Of course Meetup needs to have unilateral action- they need to shut down spammers, etc.
They could make a warning/inquiry first, allowing a dialogue to explain a murky case before damage is done by a 'unilateral' enforcement action. (Pretty sure that's what grandparent post meant.)
Just take a look at the number of spammers on Twitter, or (recently) Instagram. It's not even possible to open up a dialogue for every single instance of possible spam.

#23I'm going to make a plug for Calagator here. https://github.com/calagator/calagator
Calagator is an open-source community calendar project created for the tech community in Portland, OR. Here it is in action: http://calagator.org/
It's a straight-forward Rails app (2.3.5/1.8.7 last I checked)
I'm not on the team that created it, I'm just a fan. I customized and deployed it for a project last year and it was pretty easy.
I'm astounded more tech communities aren't using it or something similar.

You've obviously not used the meetup site. More likely, Notepad.

Dude, you are missing completely the point. There's a vast difference between automatically dealing with spam in Twitter and shutting down a paying customer with legitimate (non-drone account) followers.
And this is not about spam, it's about TOS violation, itself much more subjective than just spam.
I suspect you've never been on the other side of this equation.
Anyway, you are comparing apples to oranges.

what's wrong with preferring low-average learning curve text editors?
low average learning curve : high average learning curve
radio flyer : motorcycle

Lets not get rude, I've met some of them. They're bright folks using all sorts of technologies. I've seen vim and emacs (though mostly emacs). Their website does have some rough corners but they're working on a 10+ year old codebase and you'll get that as technologies age out. Their product however isn't just their website but instead their service. (The're a social company that isn't about virtual networks but physical ones.) And judging by how they fixed the misunderstanding it's doing pretty good.

#30> In their generic message, they don’t indicate which product was apparently being promoted.
Yes, I too, was baffled as to which product they could possibly be referring to.
