Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) Grace, Good find. Did you send the link to this profile to Goodreads? I did.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) Yes, That's what meant.

Don't count on Goodreads seeing posts in this group. I always flag or contact Goodreads-message Goodreads for any off posts/profiles/etc. although (for me) the infraction has to be very blatant for me to report.


message 3: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) Sure. Otis is a member here but this group isn't an official Goodreads group.

Also, I think flagging & sending messages is the best way to alert Goodreads, often even better than posting in the official groups.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) That's responsiveness for us!!! Goodreads (Otis & Co.) sure are amazing! Thank you.

Yeah, not an official group. This group is just one I hijacked from a spammer and was left up as a sorta "Lord of the Flies" message to all spammers.

rivka I can't see any way to flag either of them. Definitely spammers, though.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) The links can be sent to the contact us/Goodreads people though. I can't at the moment because clicking them doesn't get me anywhere, at least not quickly enough for the amount of patience I have right now.

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) Grace, These should really just be flagged and Goodreads will remove the offenders. There are unfortunately likely to be many such profiles continually being added. Thanks!

Copy & paste profile URL and send to support-at-goodreads dot com.

I'll do these.
