While unarchiving my book reviews to transfer here, I ran across this pithy (uncharacteristic of me to say anything briefly) little review of Robot Dreams: 

"I am a big fan of all Isaac Asimov's robot stories and novels; this is a pretty quintessential entry in that universe focusing on Dr. Susan Calvin."

I am wondering since a comment by author starts review and nearly dominates if this would currently even be permitted on goodreads, even with a ★★★★★ rating?

Not that I imagine the zombie incarnation of The Good Doctor reanimating to flag the thing (maybe lose an eye to an eye roll over "quintessential" but not flag), but just having rather a Twilight-Zone-y moment that it would even occur to me to question what was or wasn't permitted before I would consider restoring  review to goodreads.  

Truthfully I expect since a non-package/ad-buying deceased author unlikely to get looked at and if had been on one of the whack-job author's books unlikely a ★★★★★ rating would be flagged (although I can almost read the condescending prissy little pm or review comment where author proceeds to instruct me on how my review should be written and insist I do so or see my account threatened with deletion).

My luck, I would shelve as "Robot Stories" and get deleted by a speshul snowflake who thought I was making a bullying remark about his writing style or threatening him with killer robots.

I know authors are heavily lobbying for goodreads features like minimum word requirements, must both rate and review, must title reviews with a one line quote they can use on book jackets and promotional materials, must justify rating … and this review would not fit the guidelines wanted.

Just so sad what the atmosphere at goodreads has become.  There should be reasonable, easily accessible to everyone guidelines instead of worrying if content is safe.  Should not have to email for shelf name approval to organize your book catalog (then even when approved — well, weasely worded approvals saying they see no reason at this time why that shelf would be deleted — have to worry you might shelve an author that would cause them to delete it anyway because you changed context).  

Shame, shame, shame on goodreads and amazon for how they are treating community members (including authors) and with how they are doing things.  I have more issues with "how" than "what"; I get "their site, their rules" but it's so squicky the way they are going about it.
