Good news, everyone! Notorious bully, Mahala (aka Spare Ammo and 38 Calibre Reviews), has gotten booted off GR! If you click the link below, you will see she’s completely gone:
We’ve published several posts that included news of her bullying. Here, we will show you what she’s done recently to someone in the Amazon fora, doxxing his mother’s phone number (we left the first number to prove she actually posted it):
And here she threatens to call her:
Oh also, she admits to targeting self-published authors in particular as you can see in the title of her blog:
So, now all Goodreads members can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing this bully is gone.

Amen! Nice to see them falling one by one…
Thank you for reporting this. Every time a bully is banned, it is good news. Much appreciated.
Thank you, Anne! For all you do for authors.
It must be rewarding to STGRB to see these bannings happen. I wish Amazon would follow suit and apply their guidelines and also ban more bullies. I do believe that bullies flagrantly violate the Amazon guidelines all the time. Amazon is a wonderful site, basically. And it is deeply discouraging to see bullies cheat on Amazon. I love Amazon and this makes me sad. Thanks again for all you do.
Let’s all raise our hands in salutation and sing, DING-DONG THAT WITCH IS GONE! Good riddens!
Karma has made herself known once again.
The goodreads bullies aren’t even trying to be subtle. It makes me sick to my stomach. This pales even beyond the previous blog post.
Her dog’d profile is still there.
Hi STGRB! It’s great to see the GR bullies being banned. Good riddance, I say! I sincerely feel that STGRB had a big part in making GR a safer place, and I want to thank-you for that. Also, it’s great to see, Anne Rice, supporting STGRB. Ms. Rice is a such a kind, warm-hearted, intelligent, compassionate lady, and a fantastic author. I am so grateful to her for standing up to these cyber-bullies.
Anne Rices open letter to STGRB is wonderful, she summed up the whole troll situation so perfectly. Amazon has now deleted the thread Ms. Rice started on the Amazon forum. It is very telling for Amazon to deleted a whole thread. Ms. Rice had linked the thread in her open letter, so thousands of people got to see exactly how the trolls operate. The troll comments on that thread were, as usual, extremely vicious. The trolls really showed themselves up, or as Ms Rice so well put it “The bullies out themselves.” I knew Amazon would have to delete the trolls spiteful comments, there were literally thousands of snide, hateful comments, from the very same trolls listed here on STGRB. These trolls clearly enjoy mocking and jeering innocent people. It honestly turns my stomach to read them. But thankfully Amazon deleted the trolls shameful comments. Hopefully this is the start of Amazon dealing with the trolls on Amazon, as well as on GR. After all, in many cases, it’s the same gang of trolls.
Things on GR have massively improved since STGRB was first launched. This site has been such an incredible success. The trolls have tried every trick in the book to discredit STGRB.
Did you notice, the trolls who protest the loudest, are the trolls who bully the most viciously. They’re even trying to discredited Ms. Rice. That is how completely ridiculous they are.
Things are changing for the better on GR, and on Amazon. I hope to see many more of the trolls comments wiped out by Amazon. STGRB’s is gaining more and more support by the day. Thank-you STGRB! And thank-you Ms. Rice!
So goodreads has improved? I’ve been boycotting them until they get their lolcat picture reviews under control.
It’s getting better slowly. Not quite at the author-friendliness that we’d like to see, actually they still have a long way to go, but still getting better.
Always good news when another bullydog bites the dust! A few down but many more to go. Hopefully, all the trolls and bullies will be extinct within due time. Praise be!!!!!!!
