What's the thinking on the limitations? Is this just supposed to make the users think they are part of an elite bunch? Are the employers supposed to think that somehow selects only elite hackers?
Thx.

Can I just say that you've raised a genuine and valid question, and it's nice to have seen the answer, but your phrasing of the question makes it sound as if you're being really quite snarky about it. Is that the way you feel? Or have I read you wrongly? Thx.
I haven't made up my mind if it's a good or bad idea, I'm just trying to figure out the reasoning behind it.

The biggest problem with job boards is... recruiters. The idea here is that members in good-standing of the HN community are unlikely to be recruiters and thus can be trusted to freely post jobs to the board. If it was open to anyone then it would be flooded with crap immediately.
"Have at least 200 karma or have been an HN member for more than 2 years" this is too restrictive.
Perhaps a way around the restriction would be to adopt a similar system. People with 200 karma or 2 years would be automatically accepted, but others would need an invite from an existing member.

Soo... Instead of employers or recruiters posting jobs, employees (specifically hackers) would post the jobs on behalf of their companies?

I'm an abrupt person and things come out bluntly sometimes. I haven't made up my mind if it's a good or bad idea, I'm just trying to figure out the reasoning behind it.

I definitely would have when my company was looking for a programmer a month or so ago, and would use it the next time we want to hire someone.
