Usually deleting it would notify the sending party that you declined.

Apple Addresses iCloud Calendar Spam With New 'Report Junk' Option

I don't get this statement. Having only an iPhone and going to a webpage not possible?
Thanks Apple. Now about JUNK in iOS. I am not sure if I move JUNK to the JUNK folder makes any difference for future JUNK mails unlike in GMAIL. Overall I am not so happy about the JUNK filter in iCLOUD.
Or, you could do what I did. Move to google calendar. Apple had their chance. The fact that they completely blew over an issue like this in the first place just goes to show how much "care" and how well thought out it was. Design flaw. Seems to be a theme with them lately.

You'd hope they would but with the clear arrogance at the top, as far as they are concerned it has been addressed and "fixed". Never mind the design flaw that created the ability to do this type of thing in the first place.

icloud.com doesn't really work well in iPhone browsers. Go figure.

Is that kind of like how people watched small black and white TV sets without a remote control?

Yes but you are missing the point. I followed the steps to report it as junk online, then it appeared as declined in my Calendar app. So then I deleted it. It didn't have the pop up this time saying that the sender would be notified.
Oh I wasn't saying you did anything wrong, sorry if my post came across that way. I didnt catch that you had followed the "Report as junk" procedure before deleting it off your calendar. Now I get that you did.
Have you tried going to iCloud.com on an iPhone to see how it works? Perhaps you should try something before questioning the person who posted.
the easiest way to address it is to not use that garbage software. use google calendars which works across every platform.
Try visiting the page on your phone and see where you end up
Now if the Calendar app was in the App Store, it would be a quick update rather than having to wait for a new version of iOS with the many betas
When you delete the event, it marks it as declined, letting the spammer know they have found a valid email address.
Just like most iCloud accounts didn't and still don't.

Seems like the point there is that part of the fix is to be able to delete without notifying the sender.
i didn't mean to insult your religion by pointing out a flaw in your church (Apple), but I am correct.
Trying to say you aren't making an ad hominem argument by making one? Yeah, that totally works, and totally makes a compelling argument.
There are invitations that aren't junk (or from senders I don't need reported to Apple) that I want to delete. For example, if there's an invitation from a meeting that is already passed that I want out of my notifications but don't want to confuse the sender with a decline notice for.
At the core, I just want control of when my machine gives feedback to another.

Right. It seems to me the easiest fix is a "Delete without notify" option-- or simply make delete and decline two different things.
Probably more than you can imagine. If not, spammers wouldn't bother.
Sounds crazy, though. Who would buy that crap? Apparently a lot of people would.
