I noticed today that the forum calendar is being rampantly abused by spam accounts posting events which are full of links to the usual dodgy pills and wow gold crap.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like vBulletin allows users to report calendar events like you can with posts so I had to PM a staff member to get one specific event removed. However there’s a heck of a lot more events that have been posted in recent months which also require attention.
Can I make a suggestion that newly registered members or members below a certain post count can’t post to the calendar?
As a follow up I spent a little time playing around with the calendar feature and it looks like any registered member, even zero day and zero post newbies can create single or recurring or spanned events and it will be visible immediately. Currently you can post a spanned event so that it will appear every day until September 2015! There is no moderation queue and there is no means to report events if they violate Bullshido’s policies.
This means anyone can ( and people already have ) post links to porn, drugs etc as well as post advertising blurb for commercial products and events thus bypassing the mods and freeloading off this site.
