Goodreads’ has drawn a line (a read line?) in the sand regarding reviewer policies. The new policy includes deleting “content focused on author behavior” rather than on actually reviewing the book.
From the website:
Since our inception, Goodreads has lived by a few simple principles with our reviews. You can see our full policy in our review guidelines, but at a high level, we believe:
1. Reviews should be about the book. If you think a book is a masterpiece, tell people why. If you hated the book, say so. If it had potential but fell short, share your perspective.
2. Members are not permitted to harass or threaten other people. We have always dealt with this promptly when it has been brought to our attention.
