I think the rule should be something kind of like, do not post a job ad unless you actually intend to fill the position.

And then if a company posts the exact same ad for an excessive number of months and their headcount hasn't changed, they're clearly breaking the rule.

Ok, we can make it like this:

NEW RULE: Please only post a job if you intend to fill a position and are committed to responding to everyone who applies.

That's a good rule, the followup question is what does feedback for and enforcement of this rule look like?
