Finally web page spammers have got around to spamming NationBuilder calendars. I have just had to delete a dozen events of TV programme times in the Philipines from www.segreens.com.
Very soon we will be attacked by content spam scripts. Apart from closing down all user event creation what can we do? Perhaps a Captcha to complete when adding an event? Or minimum time limits between adding events?

The main thing that we’re dealing with that captcha won’t fix is that these aren’t robots they are actual people signing up and posting (it’s probably less than 300 people in this case but they are signing up with multiple fake emails or twitter accounts) so a captcha won’t stop them, it might slow them down, but won’t stop them.
Essentially – The Frontline team and I are really committed to pushing forward anything we can do to help this issue – we know it’s frustrating and not acceptable.
