Yahoo, with no warning, deleted my profile and shut down my moderator access to the groups I created and have maintained for years. On my part, I haven't done anything differently nor was it particularly a busy time on the groups, they just pulled the plug. This happening to anyone else?

See Click here for a post dated today, in which Taryn Thomas refers to a Yahoo group. Maybe keep an eye on that thread to see if anybody mentions suddenly having problems.

See Click here for a recent thread about exactly what you are talking about - missing Yahoo groups.

Anybody you can email at Yahoo for an explanation? If you ever do get an explanation as to why it happened to you, please tell us.

Thanks Willy,

I'm working on it, but so far only get automated responses, and then they have the nerve to ask me to participate in a customer satisfaction survey?! WTF?

It's happened to Melissa-Ashley three times. No notice on any of the occasions. She got fed up and moved her group to MSN Groups. I don't know why Yahoo behaves this way, but it's not new.

Now that the opening page pictures on Yahoo Groups are displayed in the Yahoo Search if the image is too sexually explicit the Group will be deleted without notice. The Group Photo pages are not searched, so they can still contain sexually explicit images. However, Yahoo has reserved the right to limit or delete any content (including whole Groups).

You're welcome.

Did you participate? That would be just too timely an opportunity to pass up.

Seen Kimi's post just above? Let us know if you think that is the thing that got you.

Yes I did, and I gave them an earfull...

Yup, I think that would be it exactly. Every couple of weeks I'd switch the photo on the splash page of the group, and just after the last change I found myself chicked to the curb. Thing is, the picture in question was no big deal, no different than what has been up there many times before. But I think that that observation just might be what happened here.

Good. Probably won't bring any change, but it helps to let some steam off. :)
Thanks for the reply. Along with Kimi's post, it might be a heads-up warning for others.
