Job posting status
So I've been out of the loop for a few months, and now there's this job posting functionality available. I've been poking around, but can't seem to find anything more on guidelines other than what is presented when creating the posting. What I'm interested in knowing is if there are any guidelines on how long a posting is valid for. I've seen several for short-term positions that are months old for jobs that must be long done by now. Are the job postings just going to hang around forever?

Excellent point!
On craigslist.org, free postings (I don't know about the paid ones) for tangible items (computers, etc.) normally expire after 45 days. I'm not sure what happens to craigslist.org job posts, but they probably disappear in a similar manner.
I vote that job postings here on g.d.o be given a date upon which they expire and then they're no longer visible. I think the job poster should be able to choose a time frame for his/her job post, say a week, a month, or, at most, 2 months. I also think the job poster should be able to delete his/her job post once the job has been filled (if before the expiration period) or is no longer available.
Just my $0.02. :)

maybe
the current approach just has older postings scroll to to the end of whatever list you are viewing (a global list, group specific, ...). i am not opposed to other approaches, but i don't see much benefit either. i do see benefit in getting the word out so there are more jobs and stuff scrolls down faster.
I suppose for groups with
I suppose for groups with lots of activity, that would probably work fine, but for groups that don't have a lot of activity, it doesn't work so well. For example, until today the Las Vegas group has only had four posts this year, and all of them are job postings. It just doesn't look all that great.
Deleting job posts
I've already filled my post on Drupal.org and it's showing up in search results. Please let me know how I can delete this post...
