First, I'd argue that 'emoji characters imply spammer' makes little sense. Everyone can examine the 
source of all messages in this thread and their `X-Spam-Status` headers. The fact is that, so far no 
message had been given a tag for having emoji/bad/obfuscated characters in its subject.

Second, I also agree that the skull carries NO additional information. What happened? Where did it 
happen? How severe was it? What should we do about it? A skull is neither descriptive nor 
informative, and is very unfriendly for message filters. A tag there might look much more helpful, 
such as [BUILDBOT] or [FAIL].
