That might be useful. And since it's all moderated, i guess the risk
of abuse is not *all* that large :)

All simple forms like this one are handled by simple_form() in
util/helpers.py. You'd either have to extend that one with the
duplicate functionality (which would be useful if we can assume there
will ever be another type of object that we'd want cloning ability
for), or have the events no longer use that one. (it's called from
events/views.py)
