519410 - QMO events feed has lots of spam in it

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

The QMO events feed seems to have been overrun with spam. Not sure if that means QMO has been hacked, the events feed isn't restricted to posts from only certain people, or something else entirely, but it needs to be resolved.

Until the spam has been removed and the problem found and secured, I've pulled both QMO feeds from planet. r52506

Problem was caused because the Events who are picked up by QMO is basically a forum rss feed. Authenticated users had permissions to create new forum topics. Thats now disabled and only community leads, mozilla-qa team and of course admins are able to create forum topics. Filed Bug 519428 to get a better forum access managed system into qmo..

So the Spam Problem should be fixed now (i hope :)
