I've been a bit AFK in the past couple of weeks, but one that surfaced last night/early this morning was that if a website sends out a newsletter and too many people flag it for spam, you could get banned from Google. There's probably been (many) more, too (there's usually plently).

That scenario was that people received the email but simply didn't open it, instead of explicitly marking it as spam. I have hundreds of emails that I voluntarily signed up for but never actually have any interest in reading. If gmail actually did count these "read or unread" percentages to weight the likelihood of a given user reading it, that's actually pretty clever.
