Accidentally set my group to adult, and it isn't and I can't figure out how to change to back.?

Question

I wanted to set my group as private as possible and set in as Adult, but we will not be adult as in anything sexual. We are a group of friends from all over who are friends from imdb.com and thought we would like the features here at Yahoo groups better, we can keep our group closed to outsiders and trolls unlike at imdb.com were we had trolls bothering us frequently. Anyway, when I was setting up my group, I accidentally set it as adult, and it is not. And now I can't figure out how to change it from adult to movies or entertainment.

Answer 1

when new groups are created, yahoo is suppose to look at them all to be sure they're categorized correctly per adult- you may not be able to change it out of adult on your own and generally you're not suppose to be able to.

you may need this form- include the category it should be in and yahoo will take a look and reset it within 24 hrs.

Answer 2

To change the category listing go to: "Management" of your Group's homepage and then click on "Description and Appearance".  When you get to "Description and Appearance" you will notice a section that has information about category listing and if you want the group to be in the Group Directory.  Click on "Edit next to this and you will be able to change the category listing.

After you change it to the category you want it to be in then click "Save".

To protect the group from trolls you can set the group up so that you have to moderate new members and their messages for a time (I do this with two of the groups I care for that are very busy).  After that when the members have been with the group for a bit you can change their status to let the members post freely.
