Security: prevent spamming #12

Closed joergrs closed 2 years ago

Right now, creating new events is not restricted. A user may create as many as he wants. Even though those events are not displayed publicly by default, this kind of spamming is annoying to the admin and might slow down the servers performance.

Instead of a Captcha, as a simple means of protection, we want to use an approach, were the amount of events that can be create per time interval is limited, e.g., 5 events per 5 minutes.
