Considering the economic climate, it seems like a waste not allow users to post jobs in the jobs section. I understand that users/admin do not want this to turn into a Monster.com, but if the admin only allow users with a certain amount of karma to post specifically to News.YCombinator.com/jobs this would significantly reduce spam. That is just one suggestion.<p>It just seems like a waste for one of the most trusted resources on the web to not allow its users to connect for one of the most important aspects of our lives--Jobs.
You can't post it on that page unless you are funded by YCombinator. You can however submit as usual and will show up with the rest of the submissions.
