Hi guys, since a month I constantly add about 50 people I do not know on linkedin. Today linkedin blocked me from sending connect requests! Now I have to enter Email every time I want to connect!! What a fucked up website is this?? Anyone can help with this? Experience?
 
It's probably because 3 people have hit the 'I don't know this person' button. More commonly known as being IDK'd.

If you contact Linkedin, apologise and promise not to do it again they may well reinstate your account back to normal.
 
Just send a mail to them saying you'll not do this further....it'll be reset
 
Yes I am a funny man! Fuck I was already wondering why no one else is exploiting this xD as I have 2000 contacts now.
 
@newon The thing is, I definitely want to do this again :)

Edit: Fuck them, I will scrape the hell out of this dbags! The bad thing is LIONs are not so easy to get anymore...
 
If you have been randomly adding people, they do have the option to hit the 'Don't Know This Person' button and after so many it will trigger a ban from doing that. I would attempt to contact linkedin and explain to them and see if they will drop the ban.
 
Adding people randomly is always risky. If you have a set amount of people who click the button to say they don't know you then it will eventually trigger that there is a problem and you will be penalized for adding like that.
 
as experience i send about 50 invitations per day and never been banned...keys are:
- spun text and name of the person
- 2nd degree only
- delay between send requests (optimal 60sec)
 
Hi

I always send a personalize message in add request.
That worked for me always.

Hope this helps

Thanks

There is something I dont understand. I have created a new linkedin account saying I am an recruiter. Now I wanted to send invitations to get connections - I sent one to my real account, I selected that this person is "Friend", the invitation came to my mail, I accepted it, everything went ok.

Now I tried to send invites to unknown people, but I dont see "connect" button anymore, only "Send InMail" and this is possible with premium account only :( HELP, how are you sending 50 invites per day with new account? I would send less, maybe 20, with personal spun messages...
 
email Linkedin support, a nice message, telling then you are very sorry, won't do it again and pls pls can I network without emails. Often they will give you another chance.
 
I've gotten banned before and got reinstated no problem. Now I only click to connect on the "people you may know page" since you do not have to select how you know them. There are scripts to do this on autopilot.
