Maybe a better idea would be to create a new list.  Some people on here 
would probably like to see the advertising and requests, maybe others 
wouldn't.  We can keep LUAU "pure" and have another space for 
"advertising" (of whatever is deemed appropriate) and requests for hire.

I do agree a policy needs to be written.  This is the second time in 
recent memory that these sorts of issues have come up.
