My group Category was somehow changed to Romance/Adult and it is anything BUT that.?

Question

My group Category was somehow changed FROM Music > Genres > Rock and Pop > Artists > Complete Category Listing > Springfield, Rick, TO Romance & Relationships > Adult, which it is not. It is an all ages group, and has been since it's inception. Ther

About this time of year right after the group was set up, again, it was changed to Romance/Adult. So now, as the owner of the group, I cannot get into it from my office as we are blocked from adult content (which we should be, but which my group is not). I am not able to perform the functions I need to as owner of this very active group.

I remember last time I kept asking for it to be changed, and Yahoo didn't do it for a long time. I ended up having to send a hard copy letter to them in California, and it finally was changed and stayed changed, until now.

Frustrating---I know others have had this happen as well, and just want to know what to expect, how long it takes to get it changed, etc. This is not acceptable at all.

Answer 1

the owner needs to send in the below form. only Yahoo can reset adult groups. some times this happens due to a complaint, some times a bot does it. some groups have this happen and there is no apparent trigger any where, so I believe it's a faulty bot filter as is the faulty spam filter

the owner has to be sure there is no adult content in the group any where (I suppose some posts titles could trigger the bot filter, so does some group titles) they need to send in this form the group title and url, and the category it should be placed in. yahoo takes a look and if they deem it not adult, they reset it generally within 24 hours
