message 1: by Pamela (new)

Pamela | 14 comments I recently discovered a review for one of my books that has NINETEEN paragraphs copied from my book and inserted into the reviews. Needless to say there are multiple spoilers in this review. I also question the "Fair Use" practice under Copyright law.

I don't want to start a flame war with this reviewer as I know that's not a path to go down. That said, I've sent two messages to Goodreads asking for a spoiler alert, and I haven't heard anything. It's been well over a week.

Could someone in the know help me understand the policy or procedure on asking for and/or getting at least a spoiler alert for this review?

Thank you,

Pamela DuMond

Got it. Do you know how long staff takes to get back to you?

Thanks.

lethe | 16359 comments No idea. One, maybe two weeks? I would just email them again if I were you.

Arenda | 26447 comments Did you flag the review? Or just send a message to support?
Flagging is for issues like this.

I flagged twice. I haven't heard anything back.

This is not a librarian issue. Closing thread.
