I've been curious about this for some time too. I don't actually report a whole lot of spam since after SA there isn't that much to report(!) but am considering revoking a lot more often. Without giving away corporate secrets, how does the revoke trust level work in relation to the report? It strikes me that if a large number of people are auto-reporting, which appears to be the case based on razor false positives I see, then there is presumably a fairly strong correlation between these reporters. Now, if only a handful of people are revoking, surely the numbers still hugely favor the reporters? Are we pissing against the wind here? Are those revokers simply hurting their own trust by going up against the masses? I'd certainly feel a lot more comfortable about revoking if I knew* I wasn't shooting myself in the foot here.
