I really don't see what's wrong with job postings being approved by our benevolent moderator (Grig). It's worked for the most part so far. <div><br></div><div>To channel my inner project manager: What problem are we trying to solve?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Clearly it's to avoid the list being clogged with job postings, I get that. I'm not convinced, however, we're at the point where we need to shake things up and branch the list to socal-piggies-nojobs and socal-piggies-jobsplz. </div>
