Let's civilize the mailing lists
I am registered, probably, on several hundred sites in the network. But my mailbox is annoyed mainly by sites from Runet.
In 99% of letters from Western sites in the footer of the letter there is an “unsubscribe” link. For some reason, this very correct tradition has not yet developed in RuNet. And people have to go through complex quests or make lists of unsubscribe links in order to somehow solve the problem of garbage in the mailbox.
Let's all together help this tradition to form.

All that is needed for this is to punish with the “spam” button those sites and services that do not follow the simple rule: always let the user unsubscribe from your emails in one click .
Most modern mail services perceive the “spam” button as “unsubscribe” and after 1-2 clicks do not show you letters from the same author (if your mail service does not do this, go to another).
If enough people click "spam" - then the letters from the villain will stop coming to everyone in the inbox, and the villain will think about adding the link "unsubscribe" to each letter the next time.
There are many of us on Habré to change the situation in runet for the better.
If at least 10% of the recipients of such letters follow these simple and honest rules - in a couple of years, one of the emails from the sites will have a one-click reply.
If your service sends letters to users - do not be lazy, and make a link unsubscribe, working in one click.

- You do not want to receive letters from the service, and the letter does not have a link to “unsubscribe” - immediately click “in spam”.
- You clicked "unsubscribe", and to continue you need to login - immediately click "in spam".
- You clicked "unsubscribe", but they require additional actions from you - immediately click "in spam".
- You unsubscribed, and the letter came again - immediately click "in spam."
If at least 10% of the recipients of such letters follow these simple and honest rules - in a couple of years, one of the emails from the sites will have a one-click reply.
