before i begin id like to apologise to anyone who deems this thread to be a lockable cause as i mean no offence or malice...somethings been bothering me for a while on here and finally ive decided to ask the question lol...as were not allowed to post socials held by none members ie friends no longer with sh but partly arranged by current members how come we can promote swinging clubs ie chams and others who's owners have no affiliation to swinging heaven...just a question i have to add not wanting a drawn out debate..thanks
Hmmm good point... and they're making a profit?
humm i dunno, but i do know that if a memeber does own or manages etc a swinging club,although its in the list they are not allowed to mention it.
that one baffells me a bit. I guess its from the site saying members dont promote sell stuff?
but must be a killer if you own a swinging club but cant talk about it in chat, but i could.
if you knwo what i mean

Simple really, because we dont allow people to promote Clubs via the site. However we do allow members to post events that they are organising with in a swingers club.
The Clubs and Parties section is purely for the use of site members, the same as any socials or munches posted on here, they are aimed at site members smile
The key word is Members and anything which is posted on here is for current members of the site and not for people who are no longer here, for whatever reason, either membership lapsed, moved elsewhere or they were banned. They are not members of the site so why should the site promote anything they are arranging (hope that doesnt sound patronising, but I dont know any other way to word it) redface
It`s simple Hell ... we can say " ... as members we are meeting up at a club if you want to join us"
But we can not say " ... as members we are meeting up at an event held by a non member if you want to join us"

maybe we should call it club valentines night still despite certain people trying to feck it up we still got over 115peeps going cya there guys
I do see the point that is being made.. and to be honest it is a conversation I have had privately with various people....
I do think there is a difference between the "socials/mini munches" we use to have, just ask an example, it derby ones run but cocks, and the "socials", which are dressed up as socials but are really just club meets....
Me personally would like to see them designated differently, because straight away you would know there is a clear difference in both what to expect and what people are signing up for...
Good point fab well made

or what you mean is we cannot say " ... as members we are meeting up at an event held by a non paying free member who cannot post himself if you want to join us"

Can't we just add another definition?
Munch
Social
and Club Meet?
I realise there is an overlap between the three but while we'd be happy to attend either of the first two, the third we'd be far more reticent and I am sure for other folks, the opposite could be true.
I am all for promoting any meet and I see no problem with any of them, provided they are not run for the benefit of the club owner or to profit the organiser, but perhaps there is enough difference between them to warrant club meets having their own little sub-group like meets and munches?
Good point well made Hell & Fabs!

Good point Res,
I have never attended any as I have always felt in some way you are have to parade yourself.
I do realise that this now is not the case, but I am still not totally sure which is which, maybe if there were three different categories with clear defining differences; it could help a lot of people from being less confused.

sorry to bring this up again.... but after seeing more and more of the type of meets that the OP was going on about, I think what res proposed is becoming a better and better idea....
Munch, Social, Club meet
it does have the feel of club advertising via the back door at the moment....... and it can be misleading as to what people are signing up for....
we think the party reviews r good
1= if not for them we would of never gone to one
2= if we ever go up north we know where to find them
3= its nice to look at them to see if anywhere new has open
I spose we could just not worry about it at all
i did'nt even realise the rules had changed? i though only muches had to be exclusive to swinging heaven members, so if you hold a social that you have advertised on this site can you no longer have none swinging heaven people there or am i reading it wrong?

You are right, only Munches are exclusive to SH memebers, socials can be for anyone as long as the organiser lets everyone know that none members will be attending. No change to the rules wink
Members can't promote clubs,but can organise socials at clubs (to which I'm eternally grateful. smile
Should it be right that clubs can advertise these socials on their own website as party nights?
