A number of threads on YahooGroups suggest that LinkedIn Management has started "cracking down" on The LIONS.

If this is true this is another pathetic example of LinkedIn Managment's complete ignorance of real networking.

Anyway, there is safety in numbers and the Lions form the majority of the most connected online networkers, not only on LinkedIn, but in the world.

By some estimates, Lions process well over 50% of all Referral Requests on LinkedIn.

My suggestion is that we log ALL incidents here in this forum and if there is a trend that we alert management that "We Are Tracking Their Behavior Towards LIONS".

The latest issue that seems to be related to you network size as best I can tell [I have compared Linkedin site performance from the same system and another users account that performs well] My home page no longer displays any network updates [Your Network Updates feed is being updated. Please check back soon.] is always showing and any searches are slow at best and timeout with errors most of the time.

I also now have gotten the dreaded email requirement for invitations. I find it absurd, I do not think I even reached 5 IDKs, looking at the past invitations I have sent out, I only counted 3 out of 3000, .1%.

what is linkedin doing? restricting accounts for a .1% rejection? they really need to change their policy, is there some sort of petition or at least some sort of guideline they set out for the number of rejections?

Welcome on LI! :-/

You might want to use the Lion list...

They are looking for absolute numbers. Your account would be restricted if you receive more than 5 IDKs.

From my experience, it's ex-LIONs who gave me most IDKs. Be careful with LIONs list.

Well at the beginning, many were not really aware of the commitment to be on that list. I guess now the message is clearer...
