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.

plagiarism

Post by Ellen Montague 1 »

Just know, when you are reviewing you can't use the same review on the platforms you're reviewing. So say you purchase a book from Amazon, you can't use the review you used here on OnlineBookClub on Amazon. Even though it's your OWN review. OnlineBookClub believes that is considered plagiarism. I have no idea why, but I wanted to post it somewhere because I now am no longer a review and I didn't get the payout I thought I was. I understand that they have policies, but I don't believe this is a valid one.

Hello,

And thank you for reaching out. I am sorry that this happened to you. However, it is clearly stated in the review team guidelines, #6 under 'Other Terms and Policies', that your review is exclusive to OnlineBookClub.org. Here's the link to it for reference: review-team/guidelines.php#terms
If you were accused of plagiarizing your own review, you can try asking for an editor recheck and explaining the situation.

I hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Thank you, and have a good day,
Kirsi
