Just for clarity this is the what I was referring to, some of the posts (now edited) were suggesting setting up a Facebook group and encouraging people to join:
21. Absolutely no canvasing for members for Facebook Groups or any other groups on the internet.
The instructions for adding social network links to your profile are here:
http://www.wlsurgery.com/news-please-read/125091-social-network-links.html
Guests and non registered members cannot see these links. They can however see what you post on here, using the links facility negates the need to swap details on an open forum that you just wouldn't want everyone to have access to.
I hope everyone can understand that posting full names, areas where you live and when you will be on holiday is not a good idea.
My area of work is fraud and I can see what could potentialy happen, although I can try and protect / warn you, please remember:
You are responsible for any personal information that you include as part of any posting anywhere on WLSurgery.com - Weight Loss Surgery Forum and you alone are responsible for material that you post.

I will move the posts relating to meeting up to the thread in the private section.
