Although I'm not terribly qualified to comment on Gmail's policies or
design decisions, I thought I'd throw in an anecdote about the "Report
Spam" user experience:
A random guy I talked to in a bar (it was a work trip, he asked why I was
in town, etc) told me that he used the "Report Phishing" function in Gmail
as a (his words) "Super Spam Report" for when he was particularly annoyed
at a marketing email or sender.
I think he is an example that even with clear and simple labels like
"Report Phishing" vs "Report Spam," if the user can't _see_ what happens
when they click a button, they're going to decide for themselves what that
button does...or something like that... :-)
