Question

Is it against Yahoo TOS for a member to share messages posted on your group with some other group?

Answer 1

Depends whether or not the member doing the sharing has the permission of the member(s) who originally posted the message(s).  If one has the permission of the member(s) who originally posted that material, then there's no problem with such sharing.  However, sharing material without the permission of the member(s) who originally posted that material is against the Yahoo Groups Guidelines - see # 11 in my Source link here.

Answer 2

if you're not the writer of the post, and don't have that persons permission, yes it is against TOS

11) You cannot re-post or re-transmit content that belongs to another user without that user's permission. A Groups owner or moderator (or any other user) cannot re-post or re-transmit Groups content to any other site unless the person has the explicit permission of every group member whose content is being re-posted or re-transmitted.
