LibTalk - Forum for reading entusiasts

If the books you send me to review are mainly fiction, such as novels or sci-fi stories, I would appreciate it if you could send me Chinese-language novels or storybooks instead.

I barely made it through literature classes in my own language in high school, and I even failed Chinese literature in college. So I guess literature and I were never meant to be together. Reading storybooks has never been my cup of tea — and reading them in someone else’s native language? That’s a whole different level of suffering.

For the love of God, please!

That's not how moderation works, sadly. Similar problem when tor users get 300mb books to review.

You can always 'skip this book' if you don't wish to moderate it. There's no penalty no matter how many books you skip, and they're just assigned to somebody else. Do the ones you can. Every book properly modded, helps & it is far better to mod a few books well than many books poorly.

If an uploader sets the wrong language in the upload form, then ofc it will go to the wrong moderators. This happens too often. You can either change the language and nothing else - and it'll be sent to the right mod's queue - or simply skip it entirely.

Hello! It seems that we did not specify that the moderator is not required to read the books in full.
We remind you about the basic rules and stages of verification.:

1. The file must open freely. We do not accept DRM-protected files, corrupted files, or files in unacceptable formats. If the file does not open or is protected, please reject the book.
2. Articles should be marked in the "Type of content" field.
3. Scientific journals, sewing magazines, Playboy and other publications, as well as scanned newspapers should be rejected.
4. We reject "undesirable" content such as book clippings, tutorials, and instructions.
5. Evaluate the readability of the content and assign the appropriate quality rating to the file.
6. Check the author, title and language specified in the book/article file.
Use identifiers: for books — ISBN, ASIN, ISSN; for articles — DOI.

If all the points are marked, approve the book/article. If there are any inconsistencies, correct them (if possible) and approve them. If the file does not meet the criteria, reject it.

We appreciate your understanding and conscientious attitude. Let's work together to create a library.
