Really? So the newsletter you've subscribed yesterday, received the first
issue today and was happy about it, turns into spam tomorrow when they
publish a story that annoys you?

Now we're entering very interesting terrain...

No, but it is something to do with consent, don't you think? The consent
should be the most important thing when considering if something is spam.

I might think that white is black, but it doesn't make it so. Consent, that
is the key.

And thats excatly what is the background idea of a spam report
