Frustration with game jam spam

We're currently hosting a game jam for our annual tech conference, and for the first time ever we opened it up to the public this year. We're grateful for the traction it has received, however we're also dealing with a lot of frustration in terms of spam submissions.

I've had to disqualify and report well over 10 submissions already for being spam games that are getting submitted to multiple jams. Would it be possible to introduce a limit as to how many jams a game can be submitted to? Theoretically you shouldn't even be allowed to submit a game to more than one jam, but it should be clear as day on the system that a game that's being submitted to 20 different jams is pure spam.

Probably. Better spam fighting tools for jam are often requested, but there's no ETA.
