Suggestions to improve. [resolved]

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Suggestion 1: If an Amazon review is published, instead of saying that we did it, we post a link of our comment. Because that will be the next step when moderators aren't able to find our Amazon comment. It saves one step.

I think this saves time. Please tell if it is feasible.

Suggestion 2: There are many similar comments related to Amazon comments, so I think Amazon specific links can be added to Guidelines and Basics. A link to the tab where users can input their Amazon queries.

Or there should be explanation about what to do, or how to go about fulfilling the request as many books have asked for Amazon reviews.

I have been reviewing books for a professional organization since 1994, and have never been asked to verify my purchase. Granted, many books I have reviewed have been sent to me, but the reviews of the ones I've bought have always been accepted. I am sorry that your organization has had reviewers not buy a book and review it, anyway, but it strikes me as quite unprofessional to have to prove that a person paid money to buy a book. This happened because I sent a review for a book (twice), and both copies seem to have been placed into a black hole because I could not locate my sales slip. Francine Jackson

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. I'm very sorry you couldn't find your receipt. I'm not sure why you think that book purchase verification is unprofessional. Can you suggest other ways to determine whether or not the book was purchased?

Thank you.
Melissa.

Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen
