[Chicago] Status of recruiters on this list

[Brian Curtin]

What is the status of recruiter emails and this mailing list? I seem
to remember at some point it was allowable for local recruiters
offering local jobs to occasionally post their openings, versus
allowing spammy recruiters or ones offering jobs that would require
relocation.

The other day I had a recruiter email me with a local job on what
appears to be a pretty cool product at a local company. I usually
don't like being the dartboard that (some) recruiters are throwing
their job darts at, but this one actually lined up with some stuff I
had previously done. Since I'm not looking and I know others are, I
figured I'd pass it on.

When their posting was held for moderation, the response they got was
less than a happy one. As you can see, it's still not posted.

Allowing local recruiters to post local jobs to our local community is
good for everyone involved, and it's fairly standard practice around
the other user groups in the Python world. I think we'd all rather see
a local person get a local job than see companies have to relocate
people to fill their spots.

So, what is the deal here?
