I had an overwhelming demand of people saying they had a troll. This page is dedicated just to them. Also in future refernce, if you can refer to this page to see if their "review" is legit.
Remember these simple rules.
***If they just created an account and already have an over abundance of friends, most likely, they just went adding people. (Really - within your second day on GR's you have over 100+ friends?)
***If they have left ratings (hardly any reviews for many books of all different genre) and within the short time. (Really? Do you have time to sit and add the same book over and over again, and leave a rating?)
***If they've only left reviews/ratings for one author (or one publisher).
1. Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A33UX7AXMC4EV9/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp
[Reviews only one book, and it's not even the first one in the series. Criticizes the book about everything the author already told readers about. Prime example of a troll] Update: Her goodreads profile was deleted because it was a duplicate account.
2. Goodreads
http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/17240434-kendra
[Examples, new profile with hundreds of books added within the first two days. Leaves only ratings but no reviews. Leaves ratings on books that aren't even published to the public yet. Lays dormant until author she is trolling releases a new book.]

[Rates books 1 star by the same author. Doesn't say why they are horrible. Continues to rate each book in series 1 star.] Prime example of a troll. Why continue reading work by an author if you don't like it? If you read the comments, others have commented exactly as I've written. Plus, for a reader to say they read the book, doesn't mean anything. They have to state why they don't like the book for the rating to count.
So, how do I remove a troll?
Here's how...
1. Amazon
2. Goodreads.
More to come - still gathering. :)
