Below are administrative Settings of the Meetup group Unitarian Universalist YOUNG ADULTS! of Orange County,CA,US
also posted here on this blog so readers can place constructive comments on it:

---

1. ^KROP6W:  “Mailing list — Members can have group discussions over email ” which had defaulted to UUYA-US-CA-OC-list@Meetup.com --
   
1. ^KROP9S:  Turned off at group creation (2009.10.13) as Message Boards are better and can be updated and don't clog up user's emails.  They also can contain BBCode (HTML formatting) which emails may not allow.
   
   
2. ^KROQ80:  Member Settings
   
1. ^KRONZR:  Profile questions (max 5)
1. ^KROO28:  “EXACTLY WHAT/WHO REFERRED YOU HERE & TO UU, & WHEN? --as exact URL (as profile URL as “http://Meetup.com/members/1895099”) or exact search site+string as “Google Search 4 “liberal young religion OC””; use only a person's ONLINE handle else 1st name”
2. ^KROO58:  (CANCELED) “EXACTLY WHAT/WHO REFERRED YOU TO UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISM? --as exact URL (as profile URL as “http://Meetup.com/members/1895099”) or exact search engine & string as “Google Search for “liberal religion””; use a person's ONLINE handle/name else 1st name” -- because of Q shortage, combined with prior Q & deleted this one.
3. ^KROOER:  “WHAT UU CONGREGATIONS & GROUPS (including Young Adult groups) ARE YOU INVOLVED IN and WHAT TITLES & STUFF DO YOU HOLD & DO THERE and HOW INVOLVED ARE YOU?  SINCE WHEN?”
4. ^KROO93:  “WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT UU and WHAT DO YOU FEEL NEEDS TO BE MOST IMPROVED IN UU?”
5. ^KROOAX:  (CANCELED) “WHAT DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE MOST IMPROVED IN UU?” – combined this with Q  KRKYQZ since short of Qs.
6. ^KROODH:  “FOR CARPOOLING (that is, being Green&friendly!), WHERE SHOULD ATTENDEES MEET YOU unless u say otherwise? (as a particular coffee-shop or public-place with wifi where u could do stuff while waiting; don’t give your home address; do give the zip code)”
7. ^KROOG1:  “WHAT SORT OF EVENTS & DISCUSSIONS & PEOPLE WOULD YOU LIKE HERE? IF WHAT YOU LIKE, ROUGHLY HOW MANY HOURS-PER-WEEK DO YOU SEE YOURSELF DOING THINGS HERE?”
   
   
2. ^KROOSL:  “Who can join your group?”: “Anyone can join the group, there are no restrictions” (the default setting)
   (next more restrictive alternative “Anyone can try to join, but they must be approved by a group Organizer” I didn't take but would consider if some problem)
   
3. ^KROOXV:  “New Member Profile Requirements”: all 3 selected (Introduction, Photo, and Profile Questions are complete) (the default is that none of these are selected but good profiles are important)
   
   
4. ^KROOZH:  “Welcome message to new members”

   STUFF TO DO NOW (and ~every 6 mo):
   Help everybody get to know each other by
   Insuring your Meetup Profiles are Current & Complete:
   --------------------------------------------------------------------
   (1) Please make sure you complete your group profile questions.  Go to the group page, click on Members, click on your profile, and if the questions aren't complete or need updating, click Edit and complete/update them.  In particular:
   (1a) SELECT “Email me when this Meetup Group's message board is updated”! (as it's off by default).  This is critical as we have no mailing list, only Message Boards (since they're a lot more organized & update-able, and won't clog up your email).
   (1b) For “Link” Q, please include a personal website if you have one.  Such as your social networking web page (on MySpace, Facebook, etc) or other web page or bio about you.
   (1c) For the “Additional Information”, please be sure to insert “See also my tiny Bio at http://Meetup.com/members/MyMbrNum ” where you replace MyMbrMbr with your member #.
   (2) Please complete/update this tiny Bio http://Meetup.com/members/MyMbrNum especially since it's shared by all your Meetup groups (it's short, so you have to be brief). Include the main school you graduated from else are attending including your major & degree, the company or at least industry in which you work and your work title (what sort of work do you do), and your personal interests and philosophies/values and perhaps what sort of people you especially like and want to meet.
   (3) Please bring 1 or a few printouts of your profile to each meeting, as a fast way to introduce yourself.  On one side print your group profile and on the other side print your main Meetup profile.
   
   --And then watch the magic begin!
   Thanks for helping everyone to get to know each other :-)”
