MARK AS SPAM in Gmail + FLAGGING in G+

Understanding MARK AS SPAM and when to it use it (on messages 99.9% of people would hate to get) and when not to use it (when more than 1% of the people might like the item).


For instance do NOT use "mark as spam" on a newsletter from Republicans sent to you by a wag, simply set up a filter or, best, UNsubscribe. Marking as spam when it is not objectionable to nearly 100% of the people just makes the system work LESS well as Google has to then label you as irrational and lessons or eliminates your power to mark SPAM for all of us and makes it a local decision for you and not helpful to the Google group at large.


Also if you signed up for email from an organization or business, do not ever mark as spam. UNsubscribe properly, don't be lazy. You confuse the system when you are lazy like that and eventually get ranked as working against it.


FLAGGING in G+ works in a similar fashion. Use it on posts that are worthy of removal in the eyes of 99.9% of the people who would read it. Do not use it on Fox Noise fanatics and Tea Baggers and the like just having their illiterate say.

The more you use MARK AS SPAM and FLAGGING properly the more likely it is that the offending person will lose his or her Google account. 


Conversely, the more you misuse those powers, the more likely it is YOU lose your Google account.
