Do so FULLY at your own risk, as the original post is extremely incendiary
(As noted by the response by the original panicking moderator who posted
the poll, possibly even after reading my immediate apology for the nature
(Though not the actual factual content) of my original post), and may cause
you to get your tail kicked by angry moderators.
Vanetil:
I apologize for the second time for the harsh nature of my post. As I
said, I am very frustrated with this sort of issue, and the issue is
causing massive panic amongst anybody who cares, even though it should
not. The main recommendation I have is that since you DO care for the
group, don't spend your energy on trying to trim over age, but spend your
energy reading the ToS, then going through the message archives and file
and photo sections looking for things that might be damaging to the group
(Esp any "Corporate characters" of any sort.)
I also recommend, that, since you apparently heard rumors about more
trimming of adult groups, attempt to substantiate the rumors. Find out
where they originated, etc. Trimming happens ALL the time, but gets queued
for later. If any group is already in the queue, it's too late. And if
the rumors have any substantiation, then the queue is built most likely
already and is just waiting to be run.
Then, also, because I do always recommend checking on the validity of
information, you CAN contact Yahoo directly regarding any of the claims I
or others make. Be aware that in Email, they are relatively
uncommunicative, whereas on the phone, they are not SUPPOSED to talk to
you, but often do if you don't annoy them too much. :)
*Flop* Too much of a day. That's all I can say.
