The ToS and Guidelines are clear enough: no advertising, promotional materials .. or any other form of solicitation.... it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain,
and yet, perpetually, Yahoo group members turn up to Advertise this or that to sell; the group owners arrogantly refuse to stop it, and a friend of mine was banned from a group for attempting to object while Yahoo sat back and refused to intervene.
Is it always so much of a betrayal?
Do they ever actually do anything to enforce?
If as a matter of practical fact Yahoo do not object to the occasional personal ad as if to avoid an eBay fee, let us at least be clear, honest and efficient about it, please, with groups designed and approved for the purpose.
