Blizzard better >fix it. I'm surprised I'm not getting it, as I've been hearing about it a bit recently. Not sure how it's started again; this was happening way back in WotLK then stopped for a while, I guess the spammers found a way round whatever Blizz put in back then. I know the calendar is set up so you can invite anyone on your server, not restricted to guildies, which I found very useful some time back when I'd run old raids with a group of people I wasn't guilded with - obviously the easiest way to block the spam is to bloock that feature, but I think that'd hurt people who want to group up for stuff without being in the same guild.
