From my perspective,  
Agreed flags: Score +1  
Ignored flags: No score change  
Disagreed flags: Score -1

I’m assuming it’s supposed to be a negative number for disagreed flags?

If you’re counting agree and disagree separately why would disagree need to be negative?

He’s talking about the **score** , I understand.  
You can probably see it as a “total” (but why call it “score”, then ?)

The issue is that ignored flags already give 0 score, and agreed flags give 1. So by looking at that shouldn’t disagreed flags be -1 score?

Did you catch that you can mouse over the (?) icon to get a summary of the report?

Perhaps the text could be clearer, but it currently says:

> List of users ordered by ratio of staff response to their flags (disagreed to agreed).

It is not a sum; it is the rate of how often their flags are agreed with.
