Score

Has anyone else noticed that the number one book on this list, "Blood in the Skies (The Hellfire Chronicles, #1)," has thirteen votes, all of them number one (i.e. it has 1300 points), and that most of the people who voted for it have voted for very little else anywhere on GoodReads? (Although most of them have voted this one book number one on many other lists; it has that same vote pattern all over Listopia).

Yeah, some fans of obscure books like to do that. You can see it periodically on Listopia. I have no idea why they do it.

Friends of the author trying to give it a boost I expect. It's my list and I didn't even add it!!!

You want anything removed, just tell me.

Thanks Susanna, I'm not that worried, I should have made it a closed list if I was, and this way I might find some great new books to read :)

Except ... It's gone now. Oh, dear.

I looked at the librarians change log for this page:
http://www.goodreads.com/list/edits/1...

Notice there are five edits on June 30th, all by "Rora," who removed four books and changed the name of the list.

Librarians are not supposed to do this, not to other people's lists without discussion (Susanna is offering the right way).

I'd be more upset, only Rora and another user doing the same were discovered and dealt with by the admins just over a week ago:
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/9...
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/9...

This user did this to over a thousand books, apparently, on many lists, and the admins say that due to the nature of the database they can't restore lists. I'm sorry.

Gee, I'm so surprised she's not a librarian anymore!
