how to work on spam score.

I guess you are asking the things to do to bring spam score down. Before diving further, I would like to tell you that spam score is not an official metric by Google but a metric by Moz that gives you an idea of how spammy your domain is (on the basis of sites that have linked to you). If you have a high spam score, then I recommend you to find out all those sites that have linked to you (you can use Moz Link checker for this). Once you have found all those links, then start deleting them one-by-one (if those links were created by you manually). Otherwise, you can simply submit a disavow file (list of all spammy links) to Google using Google search console.

Bifrost,
Moz has a list of 27 signals that they use to determine their spam score here:

Do you want more or less, spam? Check the incoming "spam" considered links, and judge if you need to remove 'm or not. A bit of spam "score" is'nt hurting. Having 20k low quality links pounding on various keywords is.

Persistent High Spam Score
As per Moz, the spam score of my website is 41%. As it was an old domain we bought, we disavowed the two linking domains that we thought might be the reason for the high spam score. But after having done so for more than a month, the spam score of 41% still persists. Can anyone suggest me what can we do to sort this out?

6vh.info 93% These sites are linking to our images on the site and also to the product the image is from. 80% of our links are like these ones above I understand these types of links are quite common especially for e commerce sites but should I disavow these on a regular basis or ignore them? I don’t want to ignore them if they could harm us. Thanks Mike0 -

Why don't Google+ URL's work in OSE?
Is there any reason why Google+ URLs does not work in OSE? Is it just that it is a secure URL or is there something bigger there? Why? Be cool to determine every website the person has been published on; especially if it is rel="author" verified. Jeff

How does SeoMoz works with noindex meta tags?
In my last SeoMoz Crawl I've found a lot of warnings about duplicated content in page with a noindex meta tag. Is that normal? These pages should not be considered as indexable content of my website, isn't it?
