(No, I didn't tell the spambots about Agora, unless they're webcrawling for people I've emailed to and emailing them as well; I don't have an address book, so it can't be a case of that having been stolen.) For what it's worth, although some of the conferences advertised like this are genuine, most are scams, whose main purpose is to rip off university expenses paying for people to visit the conference. The more dubiously it's spammed, the more likely it is to be a scam, probably. -- ais523

the text {Agoran months begin at midnight UTC on the first day of each

begin.}}.
This would make the rule ambiguous about time zones.

The intent expressed in such a message is necessarily ambiguous, but required to be unambiguous. My AGAINST stands; should be changed to e.g. any such intent, or just such a message. Also, I recommend removing primarily.
