How can a canoeing group be transferred out of the "Adult" category?

Back when Yahoo first created the "Adult" category, my canoeing group was transferred in there. This made the group nearly impossible to find and the members don't like the "Find a **** Buddy" advertisements supplied by Yahoo Sponsored Results. The usual method of changing a group category doesn't work in the adult category and Yahoo doesn't have any help available. One of the moderators even tried reporting Yahoo Sponsored Results to the abuse people as inappropriate postings.

    the owner needs to send the help form and request them to change the category. you need to include the group title, url and the category you'd like it to be in. Yahoo will take a gander and if the deem it not adult, they will and often do reset it within 24 hrs.

    depending on the category the group is in, depends on the related ads you get.
