Re: [UG-ADMINS] Recruiters?

DCPHP has a separate Google Group specifically so we can filter recruiter spam. After an acrimonious debate some years ago, our rules are that recruiter posts are allowed if they:

1) Are related to PHP.
2) Are in the DC area or remote work.
3) Start the subject line with [job] so those who do not want to see those posts can filter them out.
