It's more like additional rules. We can review and interact just like anyone else, but we are asked by the guidelines and new popups to not leave comments on reviews about our books and to not friend everyone who has ever read our book, looked at our book, shelved it, appeared on a post near ours, etc. There was always a policy asking us not to spam, and I think they will (hopefully) enforce it better. I'm an author, but that doesn't mean I don't receive multiple "recommendations" from the author rec'ing their own book.
