What we’re about
Welcome to 253 Social Introverts and Extroverts! We are the largest and most active meetup in the Tacoma area! We host a variety of activities regularly, often at least two per week. We are all-inclusive and have members from all backgrounds and ages. Whether you are looking for new friends or just a social night out, this is the place for you!
Member Expectations
As a member above all else we expect you to be respectful of other people. This means respecting people's boundaries and being aware of what consent means in a social setting. We have people of all ages and all backgrounds, and many people have very different ideas of what normal boundaries look like in social settings.
We expect that people respect others personal space (especially physical contact) and boundaries, respect others beliefs and identities, and respect the time, homes, and effort put in by the hosts and organizers. This applies not just to in person events but on the site as well. Continually messaging someone, or inappropriate messages, will get you banned.
We expect you to have read event descriptions, to unRSVP as soon as you know you are unable to attend, and to please ask questions if you are unsure of something, we will not be bothered at all and are here to help.
If you have too many no shows Organizers may move you to not going on waitlisted events. You will have to message the organizer of that event and ask to put back on and assure us to plan to be there.
Paid Events and Refund Policy
There are no refunds for paid events. For exceptional circumstances you can contact the organizer team and we will discuss it.
Kids and pets
Kids and pets are allowed at some events and not allowed at others. If you are unsure, please message the host and be respectful of their answer. The host will write in their description if an event has age/pet restrictions
Organizer Expectations
What you can expect from our organizers is that you can come to any of us with any problem without judgement and listen to you. In person or through a message, we are committed to making the group a safe place for everyone. You can also expect that we will help you with directions if you are lost, we will provide as clear of directions as we can as to where an event is. You can expect us to be on time, and to let you know if we will be late. You can expect us to let you know about event cancellations and changes of plans as soon as possible.
Additional rules
Breaking rules continually, or just once for bad offenses, will result in a ban. Organizers have the final say in bans and do not have an obligation to explain why someone was banned.
No discrimination based on race, sex, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
No harassment over differences of opinion, keep debates civil. Please report harassment, bots, scams, or strange activity, with screenshots to one of the organizers. It is very important that activity be reported so that us as organizers know to be on the lookout for someone.
The Discussion page must be about events or things related to events such as suggestions for events, photos, questions about events
