Please, do you have examples demonstrating your point?

There was much discussion if stupid spam (no links no message) is still spam.

I'd say any automatically generated junk which should be blocked should be marked.

If not "spam" then "junk", though I don't see the difference in blocking practice ...

update

Of course "dupe" or "duplicates" are not spam...

But the only other category I can think of is manually generated stuff. (nonsense or off topic)
