I think you have to sign up as a new user, and it isn't linked to WP I think? I'm having my husband change the setting so it's easier. Here's a direct link to registration:
Good thing is we're not disturbing old booklikers. To get notifications you need to follow a person. For now I feel we exist pretty separately and they don't have to listen to our rage they can't even understand. That is wonderful on booklikes ;) They can be totally oblivious.
When you look at what they deleted and try to figure out why from that - it just seems so - ok, Sock Puppet did say it best - targeted and random. Which is not a policy that's helpful for anyone.
I just started using Sock Poppet on BLs, but I imagine it's going to happen. I'll probably type "Sock Puppet" myself, one day.
I've gotten accused of being numerous other people by the idiots on STGRB and been stalked by them, so I didn't want to use my Amazon name. When a friend suggested Sock Poppet, I couldn't resist.
I know. You got 3 notifications that I posted a comment. I hit Return and the comment didn't post. So I hit return again. And again. I even tried refreshing the page and didn't see my comment. So I left the page and came back and there it was, three times.
Booklikes, seriously, just because my name is Sock Poppet at Play doesn't mean you can go around messing with me!
Can I just say I HATE that comments post when you hit Return? And they post double when you accidentally hit Return twice. This is becoming an albatross around my skinny little neck!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I figured out the part about holding down the shift key and hitting return. I even did a post here about it, because I know others are having the same problem.
Unfortunately it doesn't work when you hold down Caps Lock instead of Shift. They're so close together, you'd think a computer could figure out that you really meant to hold down Shift, but no. That's computers for you, always doing everything by the book.
To be honest, they changed at first so that enter is the new line and shit-enter posts but then people said they wanted it the other way round, so they changed it. They really listen to people here and act immediately. :-)
The fact that they listen to users here is one of the things I love best about this site! I can get used to things that are different or confusing, but I can't get used to a site (like GRs) that doesn't respect their membership.
Whatever it is they deem actionable, it seems to be targeted and, at the same time, random. Looks like some Goodreaders are more unequal than others.

I'm a Poppet, not a puppet! Though if you tie strings to my arms and legs you can make me dance to your tune if you want.

Also, it took me a while to figure out you weren't my husband, as his username on GR is "Ninja Sock Puppet". I didn't key on the poppet part either.
Maybe I'll change my name to "Ninja Sock Poppet" for Halloween.

Roasted Bananas or Bananas Flambé? Your choice.
