(1) No posters of scientific, controversial or
discussable character can be ever rejected with
an exception of those containing obsenities.
Wistelblowing, including potential misconduct
allegations against the specific people, should
be allowed with a subnote that the posterer
bears the full responsibility,
(2) All commercial posters offering "goods and
services", in particular "send $1 to five people"
type of crap should be rejected. An exception
though should be made in cases when in a particular
discussion somebody indicates recent relevant book
on a topic (even own book) with price and publisher.
Theoretically the latter can be seen as a book
advertisement, but I think at this case the community
should make an exception because the information
value in this case takes the precedence over
commercial (or at least we should trust so),
(3) In case a jamming problem develops, limitations
on a number of posters from any givin individual may
be considerd (e.g. no more than 1 poster per day
in case of revolving discussion)
