unofficial reviews

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

unofficial reviews

Post by dixie998 »

So last night, I posted about 130 reviews of books that I have read over the last several years. They were not meant to be official reviews, nor was I expecting to get paid for them. I wanted to post them so I could up my score, and to get more involved in the site. I went to the "Reviews and Discussions about Specific Books and Series" and selected "New Topic" for each review I posted. Every single one came back as either "Off Topic" or "Does not fit into any other category". I don't understand the point of a discussion page if we aren't allowed to post our personal reviews. I was given a board warning (which I also don't understand) and I'm about ready to leave this site. Please explain.

They were never mistaken for being official reviews.

The warning explained why the posts were disapproved. The earliest disapprovals also explained the individual reasons each one received a disapproval.

They were disapproved because they were in violation of site rules.
The warning also explained where you could find the list of rules. :tiphat:

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.
