Hi Auke,

Since you clearly state your survey is "Academic", I assume it directly
benefits you as a person, providing you with research data. As such, this
invitation is a direct violation of list policies, and as such not allowed
use of this or any MeeGo mailinglist unless expressly approved.

I've looked here:

    http://meego.com/community/mailing-lists
    http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
    http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
    http://wiki.meego.com/Refocusing_meego-dev

And cannot find the policy that he violated.

Did I overlook it?

In general, any form of "spam" or "advertisement" is outside regular mailing list policy. Since the post discussed is an invitation to a non-MeeGo survey, it's an advertisement.

I can't see spam/advertisement rules in the list policy, but it is mentioned in the forum guidelines:

"" Don’t be spammy

  Nobody likes spam. We don't want to see your "marketing messages",
  and we don't want you to wire us money from your Nigerian bank. ""

Auke
