Because we ask people to avoid posting advertising to the mailing list.
Which I suggested because I've seen far too many forums taken over by
the advertising and lose their original character. Yes, Linux job
adverts are relatively benign, but IME some advertising leads to more
advertising and gradually the original purpose seems to fade into the
background. ("No advertising" is also a clearer line for everyone than
having endless meta discussions about "good" and "bad" advertising each
time.)
FWIW Andrej did check with me/the list maintainers off list about it
after his initial question on the list.
