'Mark Ineligible' should probably be 'Report Spam'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's not clear what the 'Mark Ineligible' button is for.  The (well-hidden) 
guidelines say:

Use the "Ineligible" link only for applications that are spam. To be clear, a 
badly written application 
is not ineligible, it should simply receive bad scores, e.g. -2. Proposals that 
are copied directly from 
an organization's Ideas list are not ineligible, they are just poorly written 
and should be scored 
accordingly. An example of an Ineligible application would be one in which the 
student simply 
states "I like to program, can I work with you guys?" but does not provide a 
project proposal for a 
project.

Taking a leaf from GMail, if you want people to press a button to indicate 
spammy applications, why 
not call it 'Report Spam'?

I think that "Report Spam" does not mean exactly the same thing as "Mark 
Ineligible";
it seems narrower.  Spam encompasses "plz by r cheep rx!!1!", but not "I like to
program, can I work with you guys?".  The latter doesn't have a proposal, so
"ineligible" seems reasonable, but "spam" seems like a misclassification.  (Do 
you
use your spam filters to drop legitimate mail that you just don't happen to 
want?)
