Because it's by nature supposed to be low-traffic, I'd _strongly_ suggest that the only way it can work is if the moderation flag gets set for everyone except a small set of people trusted to post only genuinely on-topic announcements. (Other people could still post, but their postings would be held for admin attention.)
As noted separately (but I want to be clear in correcting my error), this is already the case.
Those recent jobs postings on the announce list obviously were approved by a listadmin, probably Larry Platzek -- who has been doing essentially all the work of keeping the lists going, per my understanding.
No it was not me that approved the posting! I do agree it was not the right thing to do!
I tend to defer to the people who get the work done, all other things being equal. ;-> (It's not the policy I'd personally choose, though.)
