We do allow recruiting messages as long as they follow these simple guidelines http://www.meetup.com/dcruby/messages/boards/thread/39157122. Some folks like James don't bother to learn about the group before they send messages and so they get removed and banned from joining again.

To be fair, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect someone to rewrite a message for each list it goes to.

If it’s decided that we don’t permit recruiting messages at all, that’s a different story.  Do we have a policy about this?  Some lists permit it, though most don’t.
