Though I suspect there's plenty of idjits who'd do it anyways.

Sometimes people express comments on a book not published yet with a post/review without star rating it. They aren't actually reviewing, it's just the only spot Goodreads lets them put their pre-publication thoughts. As long as they don't also rate these comments, it' wont affect book rating so it doesn't skew anything.
I do comments on some abandoned DNF books, but I don't rate those to be fair since I didn't fully finish them.
