Are there any guidelines as to when things get disqualified and any way to appeal when it’s not been done correctly?

Did you get an answer? It happened to me as well for one day. I haven't written to ask why yet. I'm also new and don't want to bother administrators too much.

I posted on Pinterest that day, but the link to the book didn't post. What confuses me is why ALL my social media credits were disqualified. Also I did post on Pinterest, but for some reason the post did not link back to the book, but to Onlinebookclub.com. I am waiting on their response now

It is currently set up so that if one is disqualified, they all are. There was a conversation about this a while back but possibly in another thread. Do check your social media accounts are correctly listed as I think this is the most common issue.lbhatters wrote: ↑13 Apr 2018, 11:59I posted on Pinterest that day, but the link to the book didn't post.

I'm 100,000% in agreement!kfwilson6 wrote: ↑18 May 2018, 08:12 I had my points disqualified about 6 weeks into being a member. I faithfully shared the Book of the Day every day and was discouraged to discover that the 130 or so entries I had earned were all washed away due to one mistake I made. For those decision makers out there I would like to make an appeal to change this. I can understand that all entries for the day are disqualified but to remove days, weeks, or months worth of entries due to one error seems a bit drastic. When the users of this site are committed to logging in every single day and sharing on various social media and making meaningful comments and reading the samples and doing the First Ten, it is a lot of time and work. The punishment for making one small error, or for the moderators making a small error, is quite steep. Being as new as I was and not 100% committed to being a member of the review team, I contemplated not bothering with OBC any more. That was an incredibly discouraging experience for me. If that happened to me with even more entries, like right now I am in the top ten people for number of entries, I would be so much more upset because it is a huge investment of time. Please reconsider changing this rule. I don't see how it could harm anything, but I think it would show appreciation for faithful members.

I am intrigued to find out the rules and regulations that govern the giveaway, because they have been engineered to profit OBC alone and have little regard for the time it takes the member to read the samples and do the various posts. It's disheartening and this site is slowly making me hate the entire experience when it was suppose to fun .
