Unlikely.
Some author behaviour has been downright shocking. A few of them think nothing about, not 'gaming the system' as I've seen it called elsewhere, but lying and conniving in a way that would make a career politician blush. When you have seen someone use 30 or 40 sock puppet and puppet librarian accounts to boost their books you can really get cynical about everything. That is the cause of many of the anti-author shelves. Hopefully the new changes will improve things. At the very least Goodreads have made their position clear(ish) so any infractions will be easier to identify and act upon.
