All post must be related to a gathering or meet up of some sort.. NO buy/sell posts by individuals will be allowed. There's a community for this, steamy_stitches .
And please remember, when planning a meet up, use common sense!!!!! . This community will not be held responsible for any individual personal safety.

NO POSTS by anybody wanting to meet up with "hot steampuck singles".. THIS IS NOT A DATING SITE!
If anyone post such a post here, that user ID will be banned from the community for one month. If it is done a second time that user ID will be banned permanently from this community. There is a community on LJ, steamsingles , for people looking for such a site.

Cross posting will be allowed, but you must put the bulk of it behind a LJ cut..... (or better yet, put it behind a fake LJ cut and link it back to the original post.)
