The recently locked thread regarding a vintage Gothic novel was not a cross post, it was in reference to a comment on a blog from several ..."


That is a cross post, though. I.e. it's a situation where a member of this group sees a reference on some other website/blog/social media site where someone else is referencing a forgotten book, and the member "reposts" or recapitulates the details of the book. How would the member know if the correct book is suggested, if they haven't read the book themselves?

Thanks everyone! Your sharp eyes are a great help to the group.

I think we're basically caught up in this thread. If there's an important item that's outstanding, please post a reminder.

Thanks for the spammer alert, Rainbowheart!
(The link you provided was helpful for blocking that person. I'm deleting the comment above now, because their profile page contains a number of suspicious external links.)

Becca (beccalikesbooks) | 5545 comments Can we move this one to Solved or Possibly Solved? It looks like the OP posted it on Reddit at the same time, where it's been confirmed as solved:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I know mods prefer OP to confirm themselves, but it doesn't look like they're a very active Goodreads user so this could be cluttering up the Unsolved folder for a while.

Becca, did you have another thread in mind?

Becca, did you have another thread in mind?"


No, that's the one I meant. It appears about halfway down page 4 of the Unsolved - One Specific Book folder with 'deleted member' appearing in the 'started by' column.

Sorry, I see what you mean. I was looking at Cass's profile.

Yes, it's really confusing when the original comment gets deleted!

Rainbowheart | 28670 comments Wrong folder....

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

This is adult fiction, not YA.


message 977: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 28670 comments Solved, but I don't see that it was ever shelved....

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Also, it should be in the Adult folder, not Other.


message 978: by Becca (new)

Becca (beccalikesbooks) | 5545 comments Should this be moved to Abandoned? It's been over four years since a mod asked them to confirm, and there's been no response

message 986: by Becca (new)

Becca (beccalikesbooks) | 5545 comments Mods, can you make the call on this? I've suggested not using the r-word in this group since it's now an offensive term (see the dictionary - https://www.lexico.com/definition/ret... - or Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retard_..., or any number of disability advocates / charities). What do you think?

Becca wrote: "There's a few threads at the back of the Unsolved folder that haven't had any activity since 2016 or 2017. Are they due an 'Are you still looking for this?' comment from a mod?"

Mods get to those when they get to them.

Mods get to those when they have time. There's no need to prompt.

I don't see that OP ever commented to confirm?

Thanks Elizabeth and Rainbowheart. I saw your message about 1/2 hour later. It looks like Goodreads had already deleted his account.
