Score. Score for a Post. How is this calculated?

Just curious what the ‘Score’ attribute on a user post indicates, and/or how it’s calculated. Thanks!

Used in the summarize topic function which appears on topics with more than 50 replies.

As for how it’s calculated, everything is in the ScoreCalculator class
