Manon「マノン」 (thenthememoriesfade) | 1099 comments I don't really in which folder I should put this but I fell upon some sketchy “authors profile” and “books” that seems to have been created by a GR user. I’m pretty sure that I should delete the books but I wanted advices as to what exactly to do. Should I delete all the books (I don’t mind doing it)? Should I contact the GR staff about the user's profile? Here are some of the profiles:

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

Thank you for your help!

lethe | 16359 comments Definitely report the user to Support. Those are some disgusting "titles" there he's added.

ETA Don't delete anything yourself. Let Support do it.

The last author record was perhaps created by the same user, but on a previous account, that was deleted? The same sort of titles, and he's added a new "book" to it. Ugh.

Glad to see the user hasn't been active lately.


Manon「マノン」 (thenthememoriesfade) | 1099 comments Thank you so much Lethe!

I followed your advice and contacted GR support.

For the last author’s profile, I’m not 100% sure that’s the same person that created it but I had the same intuition as you that maybe his previous account was deleted and that he created a new one. As I guess you saw, at least ten profiles were created and maybe even more. I really hope that he’s not active anymore and that he’s not on another account!
