Or the frustration in receiving them.  I've seen manual reporters who take
a single spam message
and turn it into 20+ abuse@ reports... and they do that to messages that
were detected as spam
and in the spam label.

They're turning a minor spam issue that was already handled into work for
20+ people to find out
how they're possibly related to this spam message.

You can build some systems around automating that, and blacklisting such
reporters, but you end
up mostly dealing with penny ante crap instead of the vastly larger abuses
that you handle with
improved detection and automation.

But of course, no one looks good continuously missing the little crap
either.  And maybe it doesn't
look so little to the people on the receiving end.
