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.
Oh I totally agree with you. I think GR had taken a step in the right direction in fixing the mess they have so long ignore. It's was getting to be the wild wild west on that site!

I am currently monitoring a drama on GR about Plagiarism. It will be interesting to see so far it's been civil compare to past reviews.
