I don't know if this is true, but I received it on another group....
I don't know how valid this is but those of you who belong to yahoo groups might want to pass it along to your list owners.
I just got this from another group owner. I have heard of this happening, and in one case banned a guy that made a similar attempt with one of my groups.
Someone has been joining communities with the nickname YAHOO COMMUNITY MONITOR, and then posting the following: Yahoo Community Monitor says: Yahoo Group Managers have been receiving a few complaints about your group.I am required to join your site and monitor it for about one month.I will not do anything to damage or ruin your site,I am only required to monitor it.The only thing required of you is to accept my application and make me a Manager of your group for the time I am there. If you cannot meet these requirements,Yahoo will have to shut your group down.
DO NOT!! make this person a manager! SHE/HE is a fake, and has been deleting groups once made a manager. BAN the member immediately. Please let other groups know about this problem. I just wanted to let ya'll know. Wouldn't want anything to happen to your groups. Mohammed
