Scores are calculated based on how many people voted for each book, and how high in their list the book is. Each person effectively gets 1 vote per list, so each book they choose gets a weight that sums up to 1. This means to have maximum effect on a list you should keep your list smaller and order it properly.
Flagging a post will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review. We take abuse seriously in our discussion boards. Only flag comments that clearly need our attention. As a general rule we do not censor any content on the site. The only content we will consider removing is spam, slanderous attacks on other members, or extremely offensive content (eg. pornography, pro-Nazi, child abuse, etc). We will not remove any content for bad language alone, or being critical of a particular book.
