I think allowing end users access to such a button is a terrible idea.
This is the same population that routinely replies to spam, falls for
phishes, and fails to correctly execute rudimentary tasks like unsubscribing
from a mailing list or trimming quoted material from replies.  It would
be simpler and about as accurate to simply check a random number generator's
output for a "spam?/not-spam?" opinion.

Data from actual reality contradicts your (otherwise plausible) reasoning.
