I am in progress trying to catch up. At first I had felt as if there were so many directions but without them one cannot be on the write track. I feel I am doing great so far.
In spite of I getting off the track sometimes, you are doing great getting the mentees on track. The mentee may take time to get there. I suggest that the chat guides read and understand their requests before answering. All in all, you are doing an excellent work guiding us. We are greatful. Keep up.

Are They Selling User Data?
Signed up as a reviewer weeks ago and onlinebookclub.org is the only website I've ever used my email for (which happens to be my paypal email as well). I've never received any spam or ads before, but just recently I begin getting fake invoices billed to my PayPal, that if I was not savvy enough would have paid for and lost money. It doesn't end there - spam emails of gift cards, shipments stuck, etc. I'm worried this company could be selling user data, especially considering the fact that I submitted my government-issued ID for verification. I doubt they ever delete such info, and the fact that these are being verified by moderators whom we don't know and who could be anybody and do anything, including downloading these government IDs and selfie screenshots for who-knows-what is even more worrying. I doubt if they even subscribe to data protection laws as they should, and the fact that the people who are encharged with such sensitive data and documents (moderators or admins or whatever they call themselves) are anonymous and entirely shrouded in mystery doesn't help anything. I tried deleting my account from the site but they don't delete your data as they should. My email (as probably ID) is still there. I wouldn't be so paranoid if this wasn't an email I've only used on Online Book Club, and if the coincidence of starting to receive spam right after signing up wasn't too much. I value my privacy more than I value their meager money. If a user deletes their account from the website, I don't know why they should still keep their data, email, IDs, paypal info, etc. And I wonder why I only started receiving spam right after signing up, if not that this website or someone inside the website leaked my data.

As a Reviewer, Avoid! You Derserve Your Peace of Mind
At this point I don't care whether I will be reinstated anymore. The 4+ score here is probably from people who have been compelled to give it but it's only because they have not run into any problems yet. And Scott has a ridiculous rule against leaving negative reviews on third party sites but at this point i have nothing to lose. I dont see myself ever returning to such an headache.
First, there is hardly any help these days. You can email back and forth and be taken into circles without any help. They've a ridiculous number of reps who are good for nothing at solving any reviewer's problems. You'll send thirty emails and only be exchanged between reps without your case being attended to. I value my mental health to be following up with people who don't want to help in any way.
Second, editors and admins nowadays agree on everything and there's nothing you can do. I was banned for using AI and the editor gave totally no evidence other than that "they used 3 different AI checkers and they said my review is AI written". It has been proved time and time again that AI checkers are not always accurate. Plus I used AI ONLY to edit my review since it's so damn hard to get any good scores alone, and always make sure I add a prompt for the AI not to change anything else. There are always some errors that slip that AI will help spot and remove, so it isn't a surprise if such reviews turn up as AI written but AI checkers don't take this into consideration.
This and so many more negative experiences are reasons I don't want to review on Onlinebookclub anymore and the reason I can't recommend it to anyone else with a sane mind.

Hi,
You wrote, "I used AI ONLY to edit my review..."
In this case, you were banned correctly, as that is definitely against the rules.
However, I can help you with this matter and any others. Please contact me personally about this using the below special high priority email address:

My Book Review Adventure with OnlineBookClub
OnlineBookClub is completely trustworthy. It's a fantastic platform for book lovers and reviewers. I've written multiple reviews for them. Before my reviews are posted, the editors carefully go through them. This has really helped me get better at writing and reviewing books. Plus, they've paid me for my reviews.

Book Review
I appreciated the ease with which the review was done and then communicated to me. The reviewer gave a brief summary of the chapters so I had no doubt the book was read and read critically. Reviewer clearly communicated her impressions and could not hope for more.
