Need help changing the moderator of a group?

Question

I'm in a group right now that at present has no moderator. There are people who would like to volunteer to moderate, but we don't know how to go about getting anyone "in" to be moderator ( I think the old moderator moved and quit the group). Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

an owner needs to promote a member or

it is said that if you contact yahoo, they will appoint a moderator (not an owner) 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
