Faith (faithbereading) ANNOUNCEMENT: SPOILER BAN IN PLACE TOMORROW

A ban on spoilers in most discussions for the new book, UNLOCKED by Shannon Messenger, will be in place from November 14 to December 1. There is a new discussion created specifically for spoilers and talking about the book during that time period. However, spoilers in all other discussions will be removed.

The link to the discussion for spoilers is
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
You can also find it in the "Important" folder labelled "Book 8.5: Unlocked (SPOILERS!)"

The time period starts before the release date (Nov 17) because some bookstores have been known to release the books before the official release date.

Using the HTML code for spoilers (view spoiler) in discussions other than in the one for spoilers will be treated like a spoiler and will be removed. This is to prevent vague conversations around spoilers that prevent people who do not want spoilers from participating in the conversation.

Have fun reading! :)

Thanks,
Fiona

So if you want spoilers, there's a spoiler discussion; if not, there's the "Random Facts, Theories, and Possibilities" discussion

I just have a quick question, are non-mods allowed to make polls?

Ohhh thank you. I’m still figuring out the in’s and outs of goodreads. What do you need to do to become a mod for this group? Are y’all accepting applications?

Yeah, actually we can. In the group settings, there’s a thing the mods can click to allow non-mods to make polls and stuff. For this group we can, but I don’t know if they’d want us to?

the mods are very particular for making new mods, and they rarely do it anyway

I am a mod and we're currently not looking for new mods. :) I try to check on here everyday. And yes, you can create polls on your own since I've enabled it. However, I do sometimes delete duplicated or old polls.

I have a quick question, are non-mods allowed to make topics or do we need approval first?


message 172: by Kadi (new)

Kadi P (kadi_p) I recently created a topic and I’m not a mod. I didn’t see anything in the rules against but I should’ve asked first and if it’s not allowed I’m sorry and I’ll delete the topic straight away! Please let me know either way😊


message 173: by Carrlene Ray (new)

Carrlene Ray | 631 comments Mod
Yeah, I didn’t see anything in the rules against it either, and I’m sure your topic will be fine! Just wanted to double check for a topic I wanted to create


message 174: by Faith (new)

Faith (faithbereading) You guys are absolutely free to create topics! However anything inappropriate will be deleted. Also, if the topic is inactive for more than 6 months it'll be deleted to reduce clutter. :)

Are we still doing that thing where we reread kotlc in order one book per month? I saw a topic about it earlier, but now I can’t find it


message 177: by Faith (new)

Faith (faithbereading) I'm not sure. I vaguely remember seeing a topic or comment like that but I don't know what thread it was. I wouldn't have deleted the thread unless it was 6+ months inactive, so it's unlikely I deleted it. I think it's a comment in some thread/topic. I don't know how you could find it though. There are hundreds of comments.


message 178: by Faith (new)

Faith (faithbereading) Deleted the "Your Stories!" topic for being inactive since May 01, 2020. It has been inactive for about 7 months.

I will begin looking through the many polls you guys have created to delete the duplicates/inactive ones. :)


message 179: by Faith (last edited Jan 04, 2021 11:21AM) (new)

Faith (faithbereading) Polls that have been deleted:

- A poll asking what book the poll maker should read next, voting ended May 01, 2019
- A poll asking which drawing the poll takers preferred, voting ended October 29, 2019
- A poll asking poll takers if they were hero or henchmen, voting ended October 25, 2019
- A poll asking poll takers to choose between Sophie-Keefe and Sophitz, voting ended Jan 1, 2021, hasn't been active for a while before that though

Polls were deleted for inactivity or voting having already ended. I will be deleting more polls later.

Great idea, Clem! If the current mods are up for it, I’d love to help take over the group

so, i was wondering..... since there are like... 5 mods?? and only one of you is sort of but totally not really active, do you think that maybe some of the more active members could..."


Hmm. . . I've been considering it but I'm worried that if there are too many mods they'll start fighting over different ideas. I also haven't really noticed much of a problem with behavior here that would need mods. What do you think?


message 186: by Faith (new)

Faith (faithbereading) I deleted the topic "Book 8: Legacy" for being inactive since August of last year.


message 187: by [deleted user] (new)

Throwback to 2018 where you'd get like 13 notifications every hour

RhysTheFiredbird | Used to be Lori ; Miss me? | No, Lemon, imagine 100 notifications an hour.


message 189: by [deleted user] (new)

slightly exaggerated but yeah
:'( missing skyler, kingdomreader, banana, and the rest of whoever was jumping around then


RhysTheFiredbird | Used to be Lori ; Miss me? | I just don’t like it when you’re doing something with someone and they just. . . Disappear?

I 100% respect whatever decision you make, but I think I know the group Clem is talking about and I think we’d all be pretty respectful of one another. Even if it’s just one or two of us that you think would be best fit, I think we could really get this group going again. It’s totally up to you though :)

Are yall looking for mods because i think yall should pick some new ones


message 193: by Faith (new)

Faith (faithbereading) @Clementine, @Carrlene I like the points you guys made. I think I'll add more moderators.

@Clementine, could you dm me the people you were thinking of? I just don't want anyone to feel bad if they're not chosen.

『 ᴋʀɪꜱ ☕︎ 』 (kris_lunar) I believe Lemon should be a mod :3

Edit - I also think Clementine or Carrlene are very good choices!

Thanks for considering Fiona! I really appreciate it


『 ᴋʀɪꜱ ☕︎ 』 (kris_lunar) Fiona, I agree with adding more mods. Good job for thinking of it y'all! And do you think you should un-mod the people who basically left Goodreads? Unless you for sure know that they're coming back?


『 ᴋʀɪꜱ ☕︎ 』 (kris_lunar) I edited the comment :3
