Seconded. This issue seems to be the largest source of disharmony by a wide margin, and I'd be in favour of writing up a specific rule, as there seem to be many different interpretations of the status quo. General options: 1./ No recruitment messages of any kind 2./ Only developers may post recruitment messages (they must have some association with the position) 3./ Any recruitment messages are allowed Personally, I'd be in favour of #2 - it allows the community to promote positions internally, but avoids recruiter-mails which seem to trigger so much ire. As Steve pointed out, enforcement would be the next problem -- I've seen this over and over on forums. Perhaps a large-ish number of list mods (10 or so), and discourage enforcement-en-mass? Finally, we need to advertise the CoC & any new rules clearly to new subscribers and/or first-time posters.
