You should be configured in such a way that there is very little spam in
your Inbox with your wanted mail.

When the only spam you ever see is the spam you intentionally go to a
folder to visit, it doesn't feel like an attack and it doesn't make you
sick.

Using SC as a reporting tool doesn't do much of anything to reduce your
spam.  It facilitates contributions to the SCbl, the spamcop blocklist,
a popular and dynamic blocklist used by many to aid in filtering their
mail.  I use it along with other blocklists to keep spam out of my Inbox
by tagging it.

If you are a spamcop mail subscriber, your filters should be keeping
spam from your inbox as well.  That particular item would've been
filtered by my filters because it is on the spamcop blocklist, along
with a number of others I don't use.
