I agree with John While recruitment emails don't bother me directly, the debates around allowing them are getting quite repetitive.
My vote goes on a no job adverts policy. It's not clear to me that enforcement will be difficult. Do we really think that the pyuk recruiters will not honour this? As a side note, it would be great if http://pythonjobs.github.io/ gained some more maintainers and became the go-to place for job postings.
