This is not correct. Only Librarians can add a book, not any user. Users can place a request in the Librarians group for a book add if they wish.

There's nothing wrong with adding and reviewing a not-yet-published book that isn't in the database yet - I did exactly that a couple of weeks ago for an ARC I read.

If you're someone puting stock in completely random reviews/ratings on a social media site, maybe just... don't do that? GR filters reviews by your GR friends to the top. They're the ones I pay attention to. You choose what to look at.

This is like complaining about other people being allowed to have opinions about movies on Facebook or Twitter.
