Review Group discussion

To people who may consider our group to be in violation of amazon and goodreads terms and conditions regarding receiving compensation (in the form of a review) for a review may like to read the following thread on a similar group to ours.
I think it clears up any misconceptions people may have.

Good going Emma. People will always find a way to trick a system or find fault in it. Neither should be allowed to derail it!

Er? Really? Good of you to reconfirm, but I wonder about the agendas of the challengers. (1 or 2 star reviews, mayhap?)

Thanks, Emma. It will be reassuring for some people even though I'm sure Goodreads would have closed down groups doing this a long time ago if violations of T&Cs were brought to their attentuon.

This has just been confirmed again by a member of the goodreads staff, on the following thread.

'we do not allow reviews that have been inappropriately incentivized, whether by monetary compensation or any other form of benefit (such as by a reciprocal arrangement between two authors to swap a five-star rating for a five-star rating).'

As we do not have reciprocal reviews, or ones that guarantee a certain (high) star rating, no matter the quality of the book, we are within goodreads terms and conditions.
