Has anyone had any problems with LinkedIn by having their email address in their title/name field?

This violates the LinkedIn user agreement and I am wondering if this is being enforced (i.e. restricting or terminating accounts).

LinkedIn "Historically" picks on individuals when they enforce things

Lions who have "left them alone" are generally "left alone by them"


HOWEVER --

If you do anything that TRIGGER som action on their part where they "shut you down" in someway, as part of penance, you usually ask to to "celan up you act" in some way and I've hear that they might as you to do thing like remove the email from you name, not use the term 'LIONS' etc ect

Of course, Mgt has been changing and it probably helps that they can now meet payroll so their may be a few people trying to think this through internal.


The Last Time LinkedIn enforced a new Policy was back in January 11, 2007, when they "wnet Postal" and introduce all the changes you see today which specifically targetted the Top 500 Networkers on LinkedIn --- It's that group which join forces as the Founding Lions on January 12, 2007

They unlocked my account immediately after I moved "LION" and my email address off of my name and then asked if I needed to go build my network at a competitor's site.
This new policy makes about as much sense as a car manufacturer getting mad at a dealer for putting a license plate bracket with their name on it.

Interesting ...

how did they recommend building your network?

and which site were they promoting?


It will be a long day in hell before they ever promote the Lions --
although who knows?

I still can't believe they approved the Lions on LinkedIn Groups ...

Sorry, I was asking them if I needed to go somewhere else.
They responded to my email in about 2 minutes after I hit send.
They didn't recommend any ideas of how to grow my network.

yeah ... I would have been surprized it they were actually promoting one of the other groups .... most of the YG's have real networkers on them so LinkedIn has had run-ins with all of them ...

The Lions have just drawn most of their irrational ire against networkers

No one is enforcing any rules. Yet, if you were reported, such as receiving more than enough IDKs, or flags, and you want LinkedIn removes any restrictions, you are in deep trouble. They'll order you to remove those garbage or even remove them for you. Lesson learned.

Yes, I'm on the receiving end and they removed items for me.
