Yahoo Groups Adult Age Requirements

I am putting this here because I do not know where else it should go . I ( and I am sure many other Yahoo Group Administrators ) have been driving prospective Group members mad by denying membership to applicants who do not have an age shown in the Email advice Yahoo sends to Administrators , while their Yahoo Profile may show an age . The following Email explains what has been going on . Basically it says " Blame Yahoo! " . It is not an academic point because Yahoo has , in the past , deleted Groups without warning because Members did not have an " adult " age shown in the " Adult " Groups Membership List .

A while ago , I started to approve applications where I could verify an " Adult " age elsewhere on Yahoo . I apologise to HJD because I decided to use him as a test case , delaying his Membership approval .

Groups without a way to access it to make updates. We are currently working to resolve this issue and apologize for anyconfusion or inconvenience. Our goal is to resolve the issue as quicklyas possible, however at this time we don't have details to provide you as to when we will expect to have the issue resolved.
