Over 1 month ago LinkedIn 'Suspended' my account without logical explanation or reason. When I tried to log on I got a message telling me who to contact to resolve the problem, but for 1 month NO ONE from LI would respond to my emails, voice mails, phone calls, etc.
Then, without any prior notification or explanation my account was unsuspended. I spent 3 days wading through over 1250 invitations and 2000 group joining requests, messgaes, introductions, etc, until I had the total down to less than 1000 (of which 700 were Q&A). Then, about 5 days ago, LinkedIn 'Suspended' my account without logical explanation or reason - and once again will not speak with me. I have over 23,000 connections and 500 Groups of which I own and adminster about 25. Not only am I getting NO SERVICE (all though LI is successfully insulting my intelligence and wasting my time) all of my connections and group members are getting no service too!
Having spent several days catching up on some of the outstanding introductions, invitations, group management, etc. after the first unexplained, unreasonable denial of service LI actions are massively inconveniencing others and damaging its own reputation as well as mine. I have a significant backlog of messages etc. still to be dealt with and you have asked me to reduce my group memberships - none of these can I deal with while my account is locked.
Has LI made a mistake?
The 'Ticket' referred to "use of true names rather than pseudonyms, business names, associations, or groups when registering on our site" I have used my true name and continue to do so - how else could LI communicate with me?
This is verging on corporate bullying, restraint of trade and denial of free speech, all matters about which I am sure you have a passionate view.
Please, someone at LI talk to me? I have done a huge amount for LI to help growth in the UK against the much loved (here) ecadamy and XING, and elsewhere - LI drove one person (at least) to the brink of suicide - is that a corporate policy?
LI's attention - today - would be greatly appreciated.
