Letting everyone know.I just received a reply to my message to Martina. I've posted part of the message below.
"To answer your question - sadly no, I am not adding books anymore. At least not at the moment (and I am afraid I won't be doing that for a while)."
So now, Martina is also gone. 😞

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... → There are five separate requests here, and Emmy had already reminded them about a month ago to post only one request per topic, but there hasn’t been any response or change. Book 2 is already on GR, and I’ve provided a link for them. If you’d like to close this topic, perhaps they could be asked (again :/) to open new, separate topics for the remaining requests to keep things organized.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... → same person, same problem
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... → and again, same person, same problem
That user is known, it's from a polish publisher named Zaczytani.That user always makes requests with a ton of books and provide links for their own shop instead of the book Publisher. They have been warned many times, but just doesn't care.
When did you apply to be a librarian? Has it passed many days now?
Good to know, thanks, I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I applied a week to 10 days ago, but it was right in the middle of the holidays, so I didn’t expect a fast response. That said, even though I know how strict the selection process is, I scored 95%, so I’m hopeful... we’ll see, I guess!

A few hours ago three new requests have been posted, again for 5 books per topic.
1) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
2) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
3) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Would it be rude to just close these topics for not following the guidelines and asking OP to repost one at a time?
This behaviour disturbs the overview of how many requests are still open... it seems like there are 3 requests, but actually it concerns 15 requests.
TBH I don't really know what to do with that.There was a time I would add the first book and then close the request.. But then OP didn't re-submit the other books, so, maybe that user genuinely doesn't know (if has and always had notifictions turned off for example).
As I don't add that many polish books, eventually I learned to not care about it, but I see it upsets everyone.
Maybe making the 'one request per book' a rule, instead of just a sugestion?
That way those requests can be safely closed
