[OSX-Users] Getting spam events in your Calendar? [Solution]

[Steve Harris]

If you've already received some, you can create a dummy calendar, drag the spam into that, then delete the calendar and pick "don't notify". 

I wish there was a decline and don't notify option. I often accept invites into the wrong calendar, and they don't seem to be movable anymore? So I have to decline from my personal calendar (iCloud) and accept into my work one (google calendar), which confuses people.
