Now that some goodreads members have been banned for "potentially abusive behavior" for one-starring books by authors currently in the news and making headlines on the blogosphere, what's the longest you think it will take goodreads to implement some or all of the following (with or without formal site announcement or a TOS change)?:

That the site is converting to amazon review community standards so

• no one could rate without reviewing,
• no profanity,
• no DNF reviews ( or *snicker* don't say DNF anymore when reviewing those)
• no deleting author or other comments off a review
• that anything judged not in context with a positive tone of community would be deleted
• that anything not supportive of community goals (aka book sales) would be deleted
• no more custom shelves unless in compliance with amazon tags.  (Those tags showing on book pages rather than current genres and shelved.  I actually do think authors and publishers should also get to set a genre; I just don't like amazon tags .)

All of which would be judged on a case by case basis according to amazon guidelines that "are about what you would expect."

Possibly let you have a deadline to choose from a list of tags to convert your current shelves to.  Maybe add collections and wishlists that unlike shelves would not show on book pages (or that would import from amazon; not that that's an issue for me so long as accounts don't have to be linked to do so).

Auto echo your reviews to/from amazon.

Auto post kindle activity to goodreads and amazon.

Put the " useful" up/down voting of reviews in place they've been promoting all over the blogosphere and book conventions.  Turn a blind eye to author sockpuppet accounts downvoting the under 4-star reviews.

Implement that more "useful" review order their data scientists are at work on rather than leaving us poor jealous hater trolls with those useless friend reviews taking priority...

Kiss private, secret, 18+ and role playing groups goodbye.

Allow messages to be sent to multiple recipients thereby making it easier for authors and sockpuppets to promote book sales (or at least if authors/publishers pay to send an ad to multiple recipients).

Allow authors and other members to find "friends" other than by group participations, feed statuses, and reading reviews on books in common and finding people you share your reading tastes.  The better to target their marketing.

Likely to keep private profiles at least for the under 18; but, no longer would bookshelves be private, or at least not from authors wanting to compare books or find who shelved books they feel theirs should be compared to, again, the better to send targeted marketing.

Did I miss any rumored, dreaded or expected things?

My personal prediction:  most within six months.  At a minimum, the way they've been all over the blogosphere and conventions promising more "useful" reviews I see the up/down voting happening really soon, probably timed to go active right before one of the big Spring book industry conventions.
