When users submit a report they have the possibility to modify the date. If a user enters an extremely old date e.g. 1.1.1000 it renders the main page unusable (the Javascript code runs into an endless loop). This is a big problem for sites which auto-approve reports or if the Admin does not look closely at the report dates. A normal user will probably never enter such a date but an attacker might try to do this.
