I've been thinking about the maintenance of these lists. (The ones with all books, less than 80000 ratings.)
At first I assumed we could just remove the books with too many ratings from each list and leave a comment about it, but now I'm not so sure anymore. Especially on the higher lists where someone has clearly made an effort to fill them with as many suitable books as possible, I think it could be argued that they are an extension of the pre-existing series (80000 ratings and above) and that we're not allowed to remove anything without putting it on the next list.
The result is, as we can all see, that some of the lower lists are full of books that ought to be removed but aren't because nobody is willing/able to both remove them from that list and vote for them on the next.
I'd be perfectly happy to undertake the removing part (once in a while, at least) but am more and more reluctant to do pure duty voting/maintenance voting/whatever you call it the lower we go on these lists, and even more reluctant to risk my librarian status.
So - any ideas about what to do about this mess? Am I just overthinking this?

What's the risk to librarian status? I don't understand.

There's no obligation to vote books onto the next list. When someone removes a book, they link to it in a comment - that enables anyone who wants to to vote it onto the next list.

I remove books from various lists and I have never considered myself obligated to vote them onto the next list. I only do so if I voted them onto the list I'm removing them from.

It's this sentence from the description on the higher lists that bothers me: Helpful Librarians - if you help maintain this and other similar lists - please don't remove books from one of these lists for too many ratings unless you are willing to put it on the next list.

If this list is considered a "similar list" (since they are grouped together and very much alike) it might be considered against the list instructions to remove the books and not add them to the next list.
But I don't know if it works that way, or if the instruction would have to be present on the specific list I'm removing books from for it to hold any power, even if they are closely linked? Or for that matter, if such an instruction is always just an unenforceable rule of politeness?

That sentence came from Mitchell (one of the extremely helpful librarians who helps maintain these lists). It doesn't come from Goodreads; it's not a GR rule. There is no risk to librarian status if you remove a book which no longer fits the list parameters, and don't vote it onto the next list.

Maybe in an ideal world we all would vote all the removed books onto the next list; however, given that we each only get 100 votes per list, this is not feasible at least for me.

Given the small number of librarians who perform the hard work of keeping the lists updated and linking to the removed books in the comments (which is extremely time-consuming and therefore not that many people apparently are willing to do it), I think such librarians should not feel too bad about removing books and then failing to vote them onto the next list.

Basically what I'm saying is, it's more important for each list to be accurate and up-to-date (each book on it fitting the list parameters), than it is for every single book to move from one list to the next.

Opinions may differ, of course.

You're probably right, and now I feel a little silly for letting my anxieties run away with me like that. Thank you.

Just want to put in my agreement with this response. The lists 80,000 and above and my topic lists that I created are intended to be comprehensive. It's why the message about not deleting books without moving them. And why I'm often begging for help since with only 100 votes its impossible to do this kind of maintenance alone - or lists have to be split - or lists can't be comprehensive.

The lower lists created by Lobstergirl have never been comprehensive. The much lower lists were created a lot earlier than the higher level lists and always included remove messages - so if someone wanted to add them from those lists, they could.

There are no goodreads rules on ownership of lists. There are list creators. And there are common practice. There are list owners who get irate because anyone changed "their" list description at all. I do and have changed lists that I didn't create and I've only been called on it once. But primarily I add links to other lists and tags. I've had discussion on lists to try to get consensus to make a list more specific and have added at least wishy-washy advice in a list description after consensus was reached.

I wish there was a group in which listopia lists was an active topic.

There is https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/168374-listopia

But it never had much discussion.

There is no risk to librarian status if you remove a book which no longer fits the list parameters, and don't vote it onto the next list. But if you were to do that or otherwise violate the list description, you will make the list description writer unhappy. And perhaps make the previous voters on the list unhappy as well. It is an imperfect world.

Thank you, Mitchell!

Just to be absolutely clear, where there is a clear instruction on the list itself I always try to follow it, enforceable or not. I want to help and contribute, not run berserk where my interference is unwelcome (can't promise I'll always under all circumstances be on the right side of that line, but I try).

I was trying to write something more about how rules are (or aren't) formed and how to know how wide their scope is, but can't right now (too tired, wrong language). Perhaps it's all just a little too vague to put into words. Either way, I'm very grateful to all of you for the answers you have given me, they've been very helpful.
And I agree that that Listopia group could be very useful!

Perfectly reasonable, and those are the rules I'm going to follow until I'm told otherwise.
