Is it acceptable
« on: February 04, 2011, 03:35:57 AM »
  Is it acceptable to post information regarding a job opening in the forums? If so, should it be posted in this one?
With the economy/job market the way it is I thought that it would be good to post any opening that we're aware of.

What could it hurt, but who the heck wants a job?

  That was my thought "what could it hurt". But I couldn't find anything for or against it and thought I'd ask. I don't want to hurt any ones feelings or do something that was not allowed because of some dumb policy.

That's what I was thinking.
But, I don't think I'm the one to do it because I would not be able to become a moderator.

  Let me re-phrase/re-characterize/ clarify / re-nig on that statement. What I meant was some policy that had to be put in place to deal with some dumb attitude by some one else elsewhere. Understand what I mean? :D

I didn't take you calling Mr. Beards policies dumb. Personally I think he's got some fairly good policies. 
Also I think if you got something that may help another member perhaps a job lead you should post something about it. You could always ask the moderator to lock the thread or delete it if someone gets the job. If Mr. Beard chews you out, you know not to do it again. 8)

Maybe out of work folks posting their skills and location would be better. Then others  could PM them with the job info?? They have a like section at marlinowners. Just a suggestion.

I have no specific rules for or against such a post. There is no really correct place for such a post at this time. I guess the Off Topic Forum would be the most appropriate with this the next most appropriate at this time. This one gets a lot more traffic than the Off Topic Forum.

Some general stipulations within the rules might or might not apply depending on any given job offer situation.

I don't want to turn this or the Off Topic Forum into a job search forum. Considering that we already have over 200 forums and most of the new ones set up in the last year or so have floundered and don't get any real traffic I have become a bit more leery of setting up new ones. I'm not saying no to such an idea but do wonder just how much such would be used. I'm tending these days more toward an attitude fo show me there is an actual interest via posts about the potential new forum than to just a straight vote on it via the forum for that purpose. Too many folks seem willing to "help someone get a forum they want" without regard to whether it will really fill a need thus folks will too often say they'll use it but then don't.

You'd be surprised how many new members register and begin asking for new forums and volunteering to moderate if needed then once it has been established that new member falls off the face of the earth and I'm left with a forum no one uses and have no one to moderate it. With over 200 current forums there really aren't many holes to be filled with new forums that will actually get use by the current membership.

So give it a try here or at the off topic forum and if such actually proves a need we'll talk about a forum for the purpose. I agree with the poster tho who said who wants a job, NOT ME! I'm retired.
