Spam invites to events in the calendar

I am not sure whether it's a bug or someone exploiting intended use, but regularily I get invites to events in my icloud mailbox that get automatically added to my calendar. Recently I had a notification that I had to go to a site and buy a certain product within the weekend. I do not want to reply anything to the adress by selecting "no" on the event, but there's no other way of removing it it seems. All rather annoying...


If it's intended, it would be nice to have some way to enable/disable it. I dislike having reminders to buy sunglasses on my calendar...

Try going to iCloud.com/Calendar. Click the gear at the bottom left and select Preferences. Click Advanced and click Invitations/E-mail to and add an email address.


You can also try creating a new calendar and add the invitations to that. Then either delete the calendar and uncheck it so it doesn't show.

It seems like a simpler solution would be something similar to what exists in Outlook in the Windows world. In Outlook, when I receive an invitation that I don't want on my calendar but I also don't want to send the invitee a Decline, I just right-click and it brings up the option of declining without sending a reply. In that way, it's off of my calendar but a notice is not sent to the spammer. Seems like something Apple could do, if they just would....
