message 1: by Stefani (new)

Stefani Robinson (steffiebaby140) | 37 comments I was looking over this book synopsis and noticed this in the description:

"Note : I recommend reading the reviews on Amazon due to lack of moderation on GoodReads."

I assume it was the author who put that there, but from reading over the guidelines for that section, it doesn't appear appropriate. I would edit that myself but since I've recently had some negative interaction with this author, I didn't want to do anything that would be taken the wrong way or appear vindictive :)

Robert Wright (rhwright) | 30 comments It appears from the log that this change was made by the author. But such editorializing is not something that is normally allowed in descriptions.

I'd hesitate to change it. This looks like an issue that the PTB need to handle. To expedite, you may to use the contact link to notify them of this issue.

Stefani Robinson (steffiebaby140) | 37 comments Thanks rivka!

And good advice Robert, I'll keep the contact link in mind if there's future problems that I don't personally want to handle.

소피아 (sophiajoanne) | 1 comments I don't think this should be in a book description. What do you think. This is just my personal thinking.
