Andy, Speaking as one of the few who didn't say anything - because the ad wasn't relevant to me at the time - I personally see little reason to change the policy of allowing job ads on here. A handful of people complain once or twice a year, and the upshot is more posts and traffic as a result

It gives the impression to me that being offensive pays off. But I am new here, I don't have a strong opinion. On 8 Dec 2016 09:53, "Gilberto Gonçalves" wrote: > So though I've defended recruiters here before, and posted job ads myself, >> I think we should consider the
