Suggestion regarding the Spam iCal adverts masquerading as invites

The function (in a slightly roundabout manner) already exists, you can direct the notifications to email and not to the Calendar, once in email they can be flagged like any other, how to send them to Email instead of Calendar has been posted here and in other threads so often I can recite it from memory. I assume what you want is one button that will do it all?

The first paragraph says it all. There are tons of articles being floated daily all saying the same basic thing. If Apple is still waiting for screenshots before implementing a fix this is a hopeless situation. More proof isn't needed IMO. We just need a fix and we need it now. I've actually seen reports of this problem going back to last summer, so what is the holdup Apple?

Why are you telling me?

Exactly the same on the RayBan but with names similar to mine.

I Also get ones with Chinese characters.

What I find when I simply delete the "event" it is replaced the next time I open iCal. I did "decline" two, which I was loathe to do but I wanted it gone.

I don't tweet. I am not opening a Twitter account.

I wonder how soon someone will invoke Godwin's Law!

As I am not an Apple Employee (like the moderators) I can do nothing but agree that this thread is overlong and far too contentious.

I earned all these points by correctly answering questions posed by OP's, 5 and 10 at a time.

Godwin's Law transgressions lead to post removal, beware.

OK, now I want to know how to stop receiving all the responses to this question! There used to be a place to "subscribe" to a posting but I can't seem to find it and have now received the two dozen responses.

I did the workaround on sending the calendar events to my email. Although I did initially delete a spam event, thus notifying the spammer my mail is active, too date I've not received anything else.

Uncheck 'Following'

Then read the TOU, how to use this site and how to behave on it can be found there, you have already agreed to its terms so it is a good idea to know what you agreed to.
