Thanks for clarifying all this.

> the problem with specialized relays is that they scale vertically, unlike general purpose ones

Does this example (last paragraph) scale vertically or horizontally? What do you think: is it dumb enough?

The problem with any kind of labeling from ordinary clients perspective (like YakiHonne) is scaling: it takes time to receive the reports, even more time in total will take to receive the reactions to the reports (or their NIP-45 COUNTs ideally). All this just to decide whether to show a post or not.

Yet I think what you suggest is possible and could be useful at least for trust ranking analysis bots.

Or if you mean to request *something like* a NIP-45 COUNT, so relays could aggregate all reaction counts to all spam reports for given posts in a *single* request—this makes a lot of sense for ordinary clients too, yes. Yet this is hard to promote such a feature because some believe this implies not-dumb-enough-relays.
