[COMPLETE] The bot continues
date
newest »


I remember when the bot started mass adding invalid editions and random crap from Amazon that weren't even books, people freaked out over the damage it was doing to the site. Deleting multiple hundreds, possibly even multiple thousands of books and the people in charge not even considering turning the damn thing off has damaged the site far more than junk items being added. Call me a doomer, but I legitimately do not think the Goodreads database will ever be able to recover from this.
