no i mean this https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[shania (hiatus)]

my notifications are full of them. i tried blocking and reporting the accounts but they still come

[lilly ♡ (semi-hiatus, reading slump)]

same. its super annoying and i dont check them out most of the time but i always get a bunch

[Shadel]

Initially I thought they were selling books online, but when I translated it, I realized they’re actually promoting illegal lottery tickets, and the link leads to a gambling site. Please flag and report if you see it!

For realll.. Hope the moderators can remove them from this group. Those people are scammers.

[aggie🥀]

Omg!! I started getting em too!! I thought it was just me.
At first , I was really confused that whether gr changed languages or smthn.

[Hannah]

And there are sooo many. Like this whole group's home page is just spam now

[ely_isa_beth]

yeah that's true, I saw them but I couldn't understand them or recognise the language (at first I thought it was just my problem and uninstalled Goodreads, but nothing changed)

[Chasie 🦋]

same i figured there would be admins to keep check of that bc i had so many notifs like that today

[Liz]

It’s annoying

[bella]

[Shadel]

[Aishah]

[Tina]

I think it is getting worse, I hope the moderators will do something about it soon. Can I block them or the thread they use?

i reported and blocked all of them and they're still there

[shania (hiatus)]

but i turned off all notifications from this group so it doesn't bother me as much now

[swiftie 💗💗🤭💅]

The spam is getting of control now I woke up with 100 spam messages:/

[sashenka 🖤 (hard book slump)]

I think there's nothing else we can do except report them as spam, if we're enough to do it, it'll be removed quickly

[Will]

Flag all the comments so they get removed!

[Shadel]

Its just ridiculous at this point, I'm turning off my notification for this group.
