Suggestion regarding the Spam iCal adverts masquerading as invites

This is exactly the same spam invite I got.

Do it. No jury would convict.

Well I did that, but not sure what is gained? Now the crap will be in my email?

It is simpler to delete the email, no notifications are sent.

I am disappoint. As a software guy I can't see why at least making a quick change to the website and related call to the database would not patch this while they re-think an awful design that allows any spammer to effectively disable or force what a permanent change to your calendar.

Performed these steps yesterday. Not sure if I am still getting spam in my Calendar or spam has been inserted for dates further out.

1) Go to https://www.icloud.com

2) Green lock and 'Apple Inc' should display. Log in to your iCloud account if not logged in.

3) Click on Calendar app

4) Should go to https://www.icloud.com/#calendar5) Green lock should still be there.
6) Click on gear icon
7) Choose Preferences
8) Select 'Advanced' tab
9) Make sure 'Email to ...' is selected.
10) Save

There is, as yet, no way to delete existing events without inviting more spam.

To All, i've been in touch with the Apple Support, they need a screen shot of the event, i wrongfully deleted mine, can some one post a screen shot where it shows sender & event name, and so on?

Yes there is, just make a new calendar and move them there, then delete the Calendar and them with it (you will get the option to Delete and Not Notify)

There is a screenshot in this discussion already from me

It includes some email addresses so is in contravention of best practice for the forum so it would be good for the moderator/apple support to remove it once they've seen it

borrower, do i have your permission to forward this screen shot to apple support?

It is better to be honest than to pretend one that is not yours, is yours.

Sorry if you misunderstood me, i was never going to say that

I did, I am sorry, but what event was yours (so the person you get it from will know which is the right one)

Unless I am missing something here, Apple does not need any screen shots. Rather they should implement a command or function that allows for the user(s) to "Delete without Notifying the Sender."

To clarify, have this option in iCal - "Delete without Notifying the Sender."

You are missing the right person to tell, start with the poster who asked for someone to send him screenshot, and then tell Apple what they should do.
