On topic being the one-off actually technical question we get once every month or so?
Every now and then, a thread bitching about job posts comes up, and it just pushes people a bit closer to unsubscribing. It doesn't prevent anything from happening (as it should be clear by now). It just adds to the annoyance, often being worse than the posts that are the topic of the complaint. Newsflash: sometimes, people who don't know about the guidelines will post. Wanna fix the problem?
