I disagree with a jam cap. There are plenty of cases where I would want to submit a piece to say, several bundles. Some projects stay online for many years and are submitted to a long list of jams; some bundles are made up as jams. 

I hear your issues with spammers and agree it's against the spirit of the events, but a cap isn't the solution here, please.

What if there was a rate limit instead? Allowing submitting to three jams within the period of a week would stop the spam but still allow participation in extremely long jams.

Closer at least. Maybe if beyond that judges can still allow your submissio to more. Not ideal though... I haven't hosted a jam yet. How would you feel about that extra step?

Well, from my perspective the annoyance would be the same whether it’s clicking “no” on the approval or just doing a normal disqualification the way it currently goes.

The real question is whether the approval step would serve as a disincentive for the spammers so that they wouldn’t even bother submitting in the first place. Hard to say without trying it.
