I am a member of an abandoned group and would like to know how we can appoint a new moderator to stop spammers

Question

reincarnationandbeyond is the group

The moderator has been gone for months

Members are leaving due to spam

Answer 1

this is tricky as to what members have reported.

it is said that if you contact yahoo, they will appoint a moderator if a poll is conducted to vote one in by the members of the group. however yahoo hasn't said what priviledges they'd give as moderator.

some have said they tried this method, and once yahoo knew there was no active owner, they deleted the group as part of clean-up.

your other choice is to create another group and invite those active members to it. this is probably the better of choice since there's then be an owner.

either way, here's the help form

Answer 2

Try E mailing Yahoo,  & ask them, You might need proof of no owner,   but my friend did that & got good results, good luck
