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.
