A member looking to join my adult group has trouble listing his age?

Question

This is what he wrote to me: "Hey, sorry I didn't have my age on my profile but when I go to edit it, it says not revealed for security reasons and it does not allow me to change this. Do you know how I can fix this?" I looked into it but I don't have the answer. Anybody?

Answer 1

it is to my understanding the age is kept on the yahoo accounts, and an under age profile/ account would be prevented from joining at all. it seems to work since people who typo'ed their birth year cant enter adult groups-

it's probably a glitch.

yahoo doesn't require age on a profile anyway, they say it's kept and momitored on the accounts so this person probably IS an adult.

Answer 2

The burden should rest on that person to edit his profile and add his age. The reason he gave is applicable to a Yahoo subscriber who is under the age of 18.  A minor's age is never revealed on Yahoo profiles if he/she provided the correct date of birth when he/she registered for a Yahoo ID.

If it were me, I would deny this pending member.
