Hi, I believe that shutting the door and redirecting people interested in Ruby developers is not in the best interest of the community.
In fact, much of Rails' success is owed to the inspiration and contributions of start ups. I understand that there are dangers (scammers and risks involved in start ups) but I think that's even more reason to allow discussions of this kind to take place here. In fact, one of my favourite posts is the recent discussion on contracting, which came about in response to the rates advertised by job postings. Sure, set up some guidelines. They have served us well for job postings. But this is definitely the right place to post interest in Ruby developers. We can always revisit this issue if/when it gets out of hand.
