Don't call me ignorant. I know theer are people having problems.

A major part of the solution would be to just stop the quick reporting.

And people not having problems surely are the majority anyway.

I'm suggesting the problem be solved. If there is one left after 
stopping Quick reporting.

How do spammers *cause* you to report yourself or your own ISP? If you 
pay attention, as you should?

And THAT is the problem. Just report fewer spams and look what you're 
doing. I don't want to be inconvenienced because you don't tke 
responsibility for your reports.

Exactly. So stop Quick reporting.

Then why would the rest of us have to be inconvenienced for that very, 
very small percentage - especially if the the largest part of that very, 
very small percentage is irresponsible quick reporting anyway?

It doesn't hurt anyone who takes responsibilty for their reports, as 
they agreed to when they signed up.

Only as many as I have time for. No more. But *all* manually.
