There has been some hate speech on biographies in the last few months, including a nasty comment directed at me when I commented on someone else's review, and comments mocking DID as a diagnosis.
The "flag" function is available to report anything discriminatory or mocking which attacks any mental health condition or disability. Personal attacks on us or authors are also not allowed. I assume that includes libellous statements?
Goodreads have a really clear policy on what is allowed here. There is also a "block" option hidden at the bottom of each person's profile page so we can keep ourselves safe. Inappropriate reviews - The review contains an image with nudity or excessive violence, hate speech, pornography, or a personal attack on a fellow Goodreads member or author. Please do not flag reviews that contain profanity or are simply negative reviews of the book. For more on what we consider inappropriate, please see our review guidelines.
