A lot a writers do not specify either way, so I am not sure how serious such readers can be?

Sure, when I see an unbeta'd warning, a red flag goes off in my mind, but a few paragraphs are usually sufficient to determine if this is a problem. Quite often, it isn't, unless the writer just feels that the rules of grammar, spelling and punctuation do not apply to their masterpiece. No biggie, this is what the back button is for! :D

Personally I am very unforgiving of spelling mistakes, OOC characters or huge plot sinkholes etc. (which can happen far too easily when no friend has a chance to point out the problem tactfully), but I never prejudge based on an 'unbetaed' warning since most of the best authors I know do not use a beta, so.

I find the ones who do warn that their work is unbeta'd know their spelling and grammar is not perfect and the warning is partly about that.
