IF YOU CHOSE TO BE ON THE DOWNLOADABLE GENERAL INVITE LIST ... 2007/07/17 07:10 Karma: 12  
Your LIONS Profile Opt-ins READ

    "I Welcome Invites to Connect on LinkedIn from Fellow Lions" YES

    "Do NOT send MASS Invites to me" NO



You ARE agreeing --

FOR "INVITATIONS TO CONNECT" WHICH ARE CLEARLY MARKED AS COMING FROM FELLOW LIONS -

    1) You will CONSIDER connecting to them
    2) BEFORE reporting a fellow Lion to LinkedIn via IDK or any other mechanism that LinkedIn might institute to hurt a Lions reputation, you will -

    STEP 1 - try to contact them DIRECTLY via Lions Private Messaging and, if that fails to resolve the issue then
    STEP 2 - report them on the "Incidents" Board of this Forum



You ARE NOT agreeing --

    To Connect to EVERY Lion just because they sent you an Invite to Connect

Some of the challenge might be with the way the second option is phrased. It requires you to logically evaluate a double negative, and if English isn't your first language....So people might think they are opting out by selecting No, when really that means they are opting in.


The other issue might be around "mass" invites. I do not accept "mass" invites of the kind "I'd like to add you to my network on LinkedIn". However, I'm usually more than happy to connect to that same person if they tell me a bit about themselves and why we should connect. It can be a generic email sent to several people, but at least make me feel like you took a minute to read my profile and that you actually want to connect with me as a person, not as number for your stats.

BTW, even if you opt out of mass invites, LION's should still not IDK other LION's. Resolving the issue here after you've been IDK's is a little late.


Anyway, just my two cents.

Rob!!
