RE: RE: New jobs section

That was my point. If we are going to allow it, it needs to be in a section of its own. I am not particularly interested in coming here and having to wade through job posts to get to the perl data.

I agree, but the details of the implementation would be rather sticky. It would require a lot
of monitoring by Vroom and others to make sure that there isn't any abuse. I'm not quite sure
that is something that we can do right now. We can't just yank all posts with job in the title
because a while ago I posted a question in Perl Monks Discussion asking for tips on finding a
Perl job. So I don't know, maybe I am the start of this. :)

Well, there are a great many people with moderating privileges on this site :) Really though a job posting in the wrong area is off-topic enough to get moderated down, while one in a jobs section can get moderated up if the person is detailed (o'Reilly posts a job offering, gets moderated up to 30 :) )

Certainly the system isn't perfect, but it should work well enough. "Controlled chaos".
