Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not really - the ORC has yet to experience any issues with predatory events so not an issue right now (but could be).
Describe the solution you'd like
Community-driven event validation, in the form of a voting system (somewhat inspired by the voting on Stack overflow). Perhaps some sort of up-vote down-vote system would help people to identify those events that the community can verify.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternative - Our current set up of requiring the community to report events that seem inappropriate.
Additional context
Approached by OpenResearch.org to discuss the possibility of filtering or applying selection criteria to the events that were entered and perhaps adding a label or badge to confirm the openness of events. This would require significant input from the team and goes against our 'automated' calendar approach. Community-driven voting could be a solution.
Requirements to develop
(1) Research into how this could be possible given our current tools (Google Calendar). Consider a switch to a different tool with more customizability?
(2) Seek ideas from the community on how this might be coded into our calendar
(3) Seek alternative ideas from the community for how to validate events with no administrative oversight.
