Not to be argumentative, well, maybe, <smile> But I'm wondering why
descriptions related to adult content of the type we've been discussing should
go into a review and not into the longer synopsis. I see one problem
with that approach. The validator or submitter who had the concern might not be
able to access the book once published. We do have volunteers who are not
elligible to download the books after publication. Also,
people use to web braille and tb topics and braille book review are use to
seeing those content disclaimors posted with the book descriptions. I know
there is no mechanism for a separate review on such services, of
course. but it seems to me that you'd want these concerns more accessible. If
somebody sees a synopsis and thinks a book looks good, they may not bother to
read somebody's review, since they're already
convinced they want to download it, based on the synopsis, or just the
author.title, without benefit of needing to read the review. Just some food for
thought and a possible change of policy.
