Andy,
Speaking as one of the few who didn't say anything - because the ad wasn't relevant to me at the time - I personally see little reason to change the policy of allowing job ads on here. A handful of people complain once or twice a year, and the upshot is more posts and traffic as a result of the complaint that all the job postings in the past 9/10 months. There's so few ads posted, listing the dates: Dec 6th - Sophie - uproar Nov 14th - Adam - no comment by others Nov 7th - Sophie - no comment by others Nov 1st - Daniel - no comment by others Oct 25th - Alastair - handful comments (criticising company's choice of tech) Oct 24th - Oisin - no comment by others Sep 29th - A.Grandi - no comment by others Sep 16th - Fabio - no comment by others Sep 12th - Alastair - no comment by others Sep 7th - Niamh - no comment by others Sept 6th - Steve - no comment by others Aug 31 - Ben - no comment by others Aug 31 - Sophie - no comment by others Aug 26 - Isambard - no comment by others Jul 13 - Sophie - no comment by others Jul 12 - David - no comment by others Jul 7 - Sam - no comment by others Jul 7 - Sophie - no comment by others Jul 6 - Sophie - no comment by others Apr 13 - Alan - no substantial comment by others I got bored at that point :-) There was discussion on Sep 2nd about this, with the consensus being "revisit if it gets too spammy". The posts on the list tend to be even announcements and job postings. Perhaps worth noting that those who have posted multiple jobs appear to have also participated in other discussions too. *Personally* I think it's over inflated. The data says we're not inundated with job postings, and the fact that the same people are posting them suggests to me that people are getting jobs as a result of this. (I could be wrong on that - given it's supposition) As for code of conduct, I work with cubs every week who are 8-10.5 years old and they would all understand that no matter how lighthearted, everyone piling onto simple a mistake can be upsetting. And that's before the dreadful comments that some people have made. IMO, Leave it as is, and ask people just for a bit of common politeness. The list description says "there will be job ads". it's said that for years (decades?) Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't actually have to join. (and if they can't tolerate a high peak of 5 ads in a month - not even this month, perhaps they need to re-evaluate their response) Anyway, that's my tuppenceworth. Michael.
