p.s. Here's a bunch of past mod explanations about this, if anyone wants to understand why we have this rule:

Sums it up nicely.
When I look at the top text, I see at least 2 rules that apply to companies.
Edit: Btw, please don't use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting someone when you aren't: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45106871
Huh? I cut and pasted from your first link above.
Also you removed/downvoted my request that asked posters to identify regions they are hiring from, specifically one about Stockholm. I’m curious what motivates such actions.

I searched thru algolia and that quote came at first from user queSide 1 month ago, not by mixmastamyk. Unless they're the same person or the search is flawed

How are companies allowed to post the same posting for the same roles month after month? If they are not able to find great candidate fits in this environment, and their employee counts are not moving on LinkedIn / crunchbase etc for months, can they get blacklisted from using this? I have seen several of these companies post again today
We're not in a position to police that. We don't have the resources.
Even apart from that, I'm not sure how one could distinguish legit from non-legit cases, short of raiding company offices.
Let the market decide, I.e.: people comment and call out companies that do that. If the company cares, they can defend themselves, the same way we’re trying to defend the HN community.
I’ve pointed this out before [1], we need a way to call out bad actors, and not allowing for such comments is only protecting bad actors.

What about blacklisting companies that post the same links from their ATS platforms for months at a time? It may be difficult to track from an admin perspective but as an applicant that has been browsing this for a few months, a lot of these are easy to filter out
I can show examples from this current / latest monthly postings
