The wank that can't exactly be wanked
So several yahoo groups got shut down recently, among them HPchan, master_aprentice, obi_chan, slashypronovels, and probably some others.

From one of the mods of M_A:

In short, M_A was the victim of an anti-chan fan who reported several lists which allow chan to yahoogroups. One of those chan lists was owned by one of M_A's admins. Because yahoogroups deemed her list had violated their terms of service, they deleted not only her chan-allowed list, but all lists she owned. Technically, all three mods are considered co-owners of M_A, but yahoogroups only allows for one owner per list and it was mere chance that she was the admin listed as owner of M_A. Hence, M_A was deleted. So the long and short of it is that M_A was deleted by default, not as a direct result of allowing slash, chan, tentacles or Force-flying lube.

[Edit] So yeah it's wanky in that several mailing lists got TOS'd because Fan A didn't like Fan B's stance on chan (underaged slash) but I have no links or anything. Think of it as sort of a Reader's Digest Condensed Wank. Or something like that.
