Wow. I just lost 11 ratings and 10 reviews on my books in the last hour. I can only assume that's because the people who left them have deleted their GR accounts or been banned.
GR have apologized for deleting people's shelves without warning them first but I guess it's too little too late; they're in a major PR meltdown here. I can't say I liked it when someone reviewed one of my books and labelled the shelf they put it on as 'gun to my head would not reread' but you know, their shelf, their opinion. By cracking down on shelves like that, GR have targeted a tiny percent of their users and in the process alienated a huge percent. Not good.
And their patronizing little notes to authors that pop up on good and bad reviews make my teeth grind.
