Folks:

I'm running CiviCRM 2.1.4 with Drupal.  After receiving an e-mail from someone who wanted to register for an event but couldn't, I logged in and found not only another mysterious copy of my main event but a new event called "oregano's coupon."  I googled that phrase, and there are spammers inserting that in various and sundry places, like on message boards.

My question is how it could have happened to me.  Here are my CiviCRM permissions.  No one is able to become a registered user on his or her own, and there's only one registered (non-administrator) user, and there's me.  Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

As per your CiviCRM permissions, 'Anonymous user' is having 'access CiviEvent' permission.
If you want , anonymous user can only register for events then  there is no need to give permission  'access CiviEvent' as well as 'access CiviCRM' to anonymous user.
Due to  'access CiviEvent' permission user can create new event anonymously ( without registering to site).

Thanks.  For some reason I thought anonymous users needed access to CiviEvent in order to register.  That probably explains how I keep getting multiple copies of events.  I also think whoever is posting the spam event is disabling the one event I want.

Thanks!
