I've been getting random invites almost daily for the past week;
they're always at least next month, and the text advertises a gold-
selling site.

Anyone else getting these? If you right-click on the invite, you can
file a complaint, which is what I do.

Yep, I have been filing the complaints dutifully.

I have no idea how they are able to spam the calendar.  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.

My banker had his calendar spammed with these 2-3 weeks ago.  One event 
for every week from now to december...
But thx for the tip.  I didnt know I could report those spams by 
rightclicking on the event.
