You ignore false positives. A company can send out legitimate mass email, each delivered to the email address that the subscriber specified when signing up, but if one subscriber forgets he signed up for that mass-mailing, then under your scheme the company would be one step towards being black-listed, irrespective of how many people received the email and were happy to do so.
Yes, there are good guys who send out mass emails, and also bad guys, which just goes to show that the good guys don't have a monopoly on effective ideas.
Any system that involves people saying "This message I got just now is spam" also has to involve people (perhaps other people, perhaps the original people who realise they were wrong) saying "No, this isn't spam".
