Ticket #31990 Public [Closed]

• Hi,

  My client has emailed me to say they’ve been getting an unusually large amount of spam, all originating from the events on their website.

  Theyre all added as ‘comments’ which is strange because the events dont have a comments section for people to use!

  anything i can do to stop this?

  thanks
