Marc (mkupper) | 82 comments It seems like a silly question but where is the Goodreads policy folder?

On this forum post Rivka wrote "We’ve also announced this in our Policy folder and updated the Librarian Manual to reflect these changes." That implies the policies are available somewhere for inspection and are something separate from the librarian manual.

The librarian manual frequently also refers to "Goodreads policy" as though it exists somewhere. Discussion groups such as https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... have the word "folder" in the URL but contain over 50 pages of posts by people seeking guidance rather than being restricted to listing the GR policies.

Marc (mkupper) | 82 comments Thank you lethe. It's a little unfortunate as it means someone wishing to get up to date on GR policy needs to read though 1,524 posts (as of today) to this discussion forum each of which may have several hundred replies.

The forum seems to be a great resource for how a policy may have come about. I was hoping the "policy folder" rivka mentioned contained just the policies.
