Any email I can't unsubscribe from with one click, I flag as spam. Even stuff I initially signed up to.
If I have to log in to change my preferences or reply with REMOVE, it's spam. Easy peasy.

I agree with this. And, I've also realized I didn't implement it this way when I created http://imby.me
But I'm gonna change that, now that I've considered the error of my ways.
-Anyone who sends out e-mails where there is no unsubscribe link. Instead, you have to reply to the email with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject line, where it is no doubt manually processed. This is especially annoying if you have a catch-all account and it's being filled with mailing list e-mails addressed to people who are no longer at the company. Often times the spammy mailer will not let you unsubscribe since the unsubscribe email was sent to a different address that is no longer active.
-Even worse, emails with no unsubsribe link what so ever!
If harassment of senders with a broken unsubscribe process is part of the service you are providing, I would gladly pay for this.
