Hi, Tennesee, Thanks for the suggestion. I'll put the rule-of-thumb rules in the wiki today after COB. Also, no criticism on your passing the emails, despite the disagreement. We never thank you for minding the mailing list, so thank you! Regards, Javier On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 12:15 PM, Tenne

To be fair, I think the last two recruiter emails we've had are actually related to real companies with real jobs, and they are recruiting to fill these positions now. I still think they aren't the kind of approach you expect in a community mailing list. As I told both of the recruiters: if I went

Would it be an option to have two mailing lists? The "classic" one where ads are strictly off limits, and another one purely for job ads? We can then all decide for ourselves if we are interested in job ads and no one needs to decide what is (or is not) an acceptable ad for the list. Best, O

I think the people who need looking after here are those who need or want jobs. If we can figure out what's best for them, I think the rest is easy. The thing about all communities is that there will be a diversity of opinions. Let's just settle on a policy and then minimise the meta thereafter.

I think there is a difference between a job offer on a community list and a recruiter non-offer. Job offers that I can remember came from the BOM, Medibank, Biarri, Graeme Gumnow. They spoke of the stack being used, the kind of job, and often a clear salary expectation. They were also by someone w

So far I've been letting a lot of these through manually, because recruiters tend not to take the time to subscribe themselves to the list, just post to it. Which is irritating. On the other hand, jobs are really important, for both employer and employee. People might really benefit from this info
