Can't Participate in the Book of the Month Forum (Resolved)
I've recently reviewed the book Terms of Service here at Onlinebookclub.org. This book is on the Books of the Month list, and I'd like to post on its forum! Unfortunately, I'm only allowed to do so if I upload a receipt that proves I've bought the book (which I didn't! I've read the free copy provided by the Review Team).
I feel like this is an unfair ask, since commenting on the forum would increase my reviewer score. We have so many ways of legally reading a book without buying it ourselves! To be honest, this seems like an unethical pay wall for those points extra points in our reviewer score.
Is there a way for people to post on those forums and have discussions about the book without proof of purchase? If so, how can I post on the forum?
Thanks!!
Best Regards,
Raul

Thank you for reaching out. To comment on the BOTM forum, you must buy at least one BOTM. If you've read one book of the month, you don't have to buy it. You can buy another, that you've not read. Buying one book of the month will open the forum so you can discuss other books too, not just the one you bought.
Thank you.
Melissa.
