Don't know if you're just speaking generally, but I don't think what that person posted warrants being removed from the list -- or at least, it's no worse than what some others have done (so if you did remove them, you should rightly remove some others as well). It was just one transgression, and wasn't really that bad. Certainly they shouldn't be removed just because one person called for it. Of course, it looks like they used a fake/anonymous/throwaway address for that post, so removing them probably won't accomplish anything (similar to your saying they can just resubscribe later). > <general_statement> > Also, this is not a job posting list. Please don't post job requests here. > </general_statement> If this is indeed the policy, it should be made clear in the list policy. And that policy should be made available somewhere (either posted to the list regularly or up on the web somewhere, like the list archive page -- it used to be there, but I guess it was removed some time back, perhaps with the change in list moderators). In fact, at one time the policy was to allow job postings, as long as they were brief, infrequent, marked clearly, servlet-relevant, etc. But that was a few years and a few moderators ago -- I found some posts about it in the list archives; I also found one post from a then-moderator saying they weren't allowed; either way, it should be spelled out in the policy. Personally, I prefer allowing them, under the restrictions mentioned above. The list policy currently does allow product announcements, with such restrictions, and in some ways job postings are similar to product announcements. (Of course, this was a job request, not a job posting, which I think shouldn't be allowed here.)
