Is this complaint against Yahoo fair since they have ignored me for 6 days?

Yahoo hates Education Groups





I have been a member of several Yahoo groups since 2000.





Recently Yahoo has been shutting down groups and eliminating moderators emails of many education groups that offer free information to students or teachers.





Apparently student interns of one these groups created a poster offering a free information guide and with moderator approval posted it to seven yahoo groups. This student created poster offers a free information guide created by students and available through a free student yahoo group club.





The Yahoo student club newsletter was closed down, the News Newsletter was closed down, the job information newsletter was closed down, the student internship letter was closed down, the free English lessons newsletter was closed down, the Education consultant’s newsletter and apparently many other moderators of other education groups have also suffered the same fate.





Apparently yahoo does not want anything that resembles an ad that competes for attention to their bombardment of ads on the long suffering yahoo groups users. When one views the current Yahoo TOS there is no violation. Yahoo has refused to send comments or inquiries prior to email or group elimination, send comments or responses after the eliminations. It is obvious that if you are a moderator of an education group that offers anything free from one related group to another then you will be eliminated.





When you actually look at the Yahoo groups it is very obvious very quickly that huge hypocrisy exists within the management of the Yahoo groups. Several Yahoo groups offer no content - they simply have links to Geocities pages that contain only Google ads. When you read the Google, Yahoo, Geocities TOS they are clear violations of Yahoo, Google and Geocities TOS. Yet these sites continue to exist and thrive


within the yahoo groups.





This is an appeal to yahoo management. Use common sense. Is Yahoo afraid of free student created work that helps other students. Keep the education groups that actually help group members alive and eliminate the real criminals.





If you actually want a list of shut down sites and current Google, Geocities Yahoo violators - I will send them to you.

Actually, seems quite coherent and matter of fact! Just keep on trying, maybe eventually yahoo will hear you... ::sigh::
Reply:Sounds kind of hostile to me. Also, you didn't actually ask a question. I wouldn't have answered an email like this; it appears more like a rant than a request for communication.
