Please don't do this. There are a number of reasons why legitimate users would need to use new / separate accounts just for job listings.

For example, some companies don't encourage participation in public discussion boards such as HN, but posting jobs on HN is fine.

This is the kind of subtlety we need people to tell us about. Thanks.

I don't think we'll impose a karma threshold. Browsing through this morning's thread, most of the posts are clearly legit. Punishing innocent posts (as would inevitably happen with a threshold) isn't justified unless the problem becomes critical, and it's not.
