Cap on the duration on game jams

There's a game jam open right now that is ending in 1,700 years. Haha. Funny. Right? Haha. Im laughing. /s

In all seriousness, there are a bunch of game jams that have excessive time ranges. 1700 years, 77 years? In my opinion, anything exceeding a year shouldn't be allowed. They hog up a considerable amount of space on the jam page, among many other cons, and they're literally just memes.  Perhaps a filter would be a fair approach? Let us filter out those jams that are exceeding X duration? 

Thank you for all you do :)

That particular jam is showing up because people joined it. Generally joke jams tend to not get indexed since no one actually joins them. If there’s an issue with many of these jams appearing then we may make some moderation changes but for now I don’t think it’s necessary for us to do anything.
