Lesswrong is not a recruitment agency. Posting a job ad here is more akin to spreading word to a broad social network.
Anonymous impersonal job ads here are fairly close to spam. A post mentioning a job by an associated organisation or known individual would be far less so.
Reacting to this specific instance rather than to general principles, I think the advertised job is awesome, and I appreciate it being posted here, as it had a non-negligible chance of making my life more awesome.
Finally, I was already afraid I'm the only one to see it that way.
Though I will admit when I first read that I thought P(Elizer is messing with us) > P(Awesome job opening here).
I have no strong opinion on the appropriateness of the post. I was merely disagreeing with the claim that "An anonymous job listing triggers an entire category of red flags that a reasonable person would do well to have."
Nor do I come to think of it. I was reacting to the idea that lesswrong is free advertising for a job agency. That would be inappropriate.
