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,

Okay, here's my proposal.

Let's put together either
  (a) A word document
  (b) A web page that's hosted somewhere (this is probably the best option)

This should state our expectations for recruiters. About 80% of these email come
from non-subscribers. I will reject all these emails and send them the
information on how to get a message through, including the expectations on
content and the need to subscribe directly. Having a specific easy-to-reference
document will make it easier for me to moderate the list and cut down
substantially on unwanted content.

The big question for me is whether I should reject all of them, or let some
through based on "gut feel".

Once we've resolved it, I propose that everyone then accept that policy and not
complain about whatever does make it onto the list. That way there won't be a
big flutter of meta emails every time something happens.

Until then, I'm going to continue with a gut-feel approach to moderation, but I
am very happy to have something better in place.

Thanks,

    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 who was part of the
    community and could engage in meaningful discussion.

    These type of job leads are great, and I think should be very welcome on
    this list.

    The ad we are discussing now:
    - Does not mention an employer, or even an activity
    - Does not mention a tech stack
    - Has a salary bracket so wide as to be meaningless
    - Is by someone who won't discuss the job or the employer, and does not form
    part of the MPUG community.

    For that, anybody interested or looking for a job can do a search themselves
    on Seek or Monster for Python/Melbourne. There is zero loss to the community
    in keeping this type of messages off the list.

    I repeat my request that these messages not be approved, following the
    criteria that I set in the previous recruiter thread.

    Regards,

    Javier Candeira
