I have to agree with you here, Steve.

>a) Should CIPS-L allow job-ad's?

IMNSHO, if they are CIPS member's orgs or needs, then yes, otherwise no.
Although I suggest that the ad be prefaced with AD:" -- that way one could
always filter them out.  Think of it as "Caller ID for the Net" (tm).

>b) If yes, are there any specific types to be included/excluded?

Exclude the job agencies general spam and chaff.  If a CIPS member happens to
be a recruiter and has a line in their .sig that says " See job ads on our
homepage at: http://www.letusspamyouwithobnoxiousjobads.com and they are
responding with an opinion or asking a relevant question, then okay.

>c) What should we do when our 'acceptable-use' is violated?

I'm kind of partial to the 1-800 thingy... (maybe someone should post it in an
alt.XXX forum? <g>).  I think censure is appropriate -- and maybe we will have
to move to a moderated or authenticated type of list in the end.
