Flagging a list will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review.
We take abuse seriously in our book lists.
Only flag lists 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 for being critical of a book.
Do you want me to remove it, Rob?
