[melbourne-pug] Job Opportunity - Software Engineer/Developer (Python)

[Tennessee Leeuwenburg]

Okay, here's my proposal.

Let's put together either
 (a) A word document
 (b) A web page that's hosted somewhere (this is probably the best option)

This should state our expectations for recruiters. About 80% of these email
come from non-subscribers. I will reject all these emails and send them the
information on how to get a message through, including the expectations on
content and the need to subscribe directly. Having a specific
easy-to-reference document will make it easier for me to moderate the list
and cut down substantially on unwanted content.

The big question for me is whether I should reject all of them, or let some
through based on "gut feel".

Once we've resolved it, I propose that everyone then accept that policy and
not complain about whatever does make it onto the list. That way there
won't be a big flutter of meta emails every time something happens.

Until then, I'm going to continue with a gut-feel approach to moderation,
but I am very happy to have something better in place.

Thanks,
-Tennessee
