LinkedIn - why operate such a large network, if you don't want to talk to people?

2 days I have been here and still no one from LI has raised their head above the parapet - can they all be sleeping? ;-)

LinkedIn - why operate such a large network, if you don't want to talk to people?
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.

For those who might cite the use of LION in my name - that is what I am known as by many people - my middle name is Leonard:

My name is John L. Evans - L for Leonard also called Len, Leo and LION!! My grandfather's name was Leonard, he was killed 6 months before I was born in a motorcycle accident!
The boy's name Leonard \le(o)-na-rd\ is pronounced LEN-ard. It is of Old Germanorigin, and its meaning is "lion strength". Name of a saint from the Middle Age who was patron of prisoners. Leonardo isItalian, Spanish, borne by artistLeonardo da Vinci, who is considered to be one of the most brilliant and creative men who ever lived. Composer LeonardBernstein; actors Leonard Nimoy,Leonardo DiCaprio.

Leonard has 22 variant forms: Lee, Len,Lenard, Lenn, Lennard, Lennart, Lennerd,Lennie, Lenny, Leo, Leon, Leonardo,Leondaus, Leone, Leonerd, Leonhard,Leonid, Leonidas, Leonides, Leonis,Lonnard and Lonny.

Leonard is a very popular male first name and a very popular surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census). Displayed below is the baby name popularity trend for the boy's name Leonard. Click here to compare Leonard with related baby names.

I am trying to get in contact with LinkedIn for weeks now. We would like to work with the LinkedIn API for our network, www.ididid.eu. I have already had contact with Lorreta Thomas serveral times. But i am still waiting for a response, any employees from LinkedIn that want to help me out ? :)

I would like to allow people who know me as different usernames be able to access my profile. Is there a way to have multiple profile urls?

I get my Network Updates via RSS on my reader. So is there a way I can choose NOT to see it on my Linkedin home page?

What are your persona listening systems? I am not asking for the technical details of the underlying architecture, but a high level understanding of the business rules.

I realize that you are a small company with a staff that is stretched thin. I am not expecting a full blown MVP system with multiple levels of interactions and benefits such as the one extended to industry leaders by Microsoft (http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/m...).

There have been several 'problems' and 'questions' raised over this past week about challenges that some users have felt, and answers given by corporate insiders within the LinkedIn Q&A forum itself that appear from the outside to be very disconnected.

I have been a user of a free account for several years and enjoyed the interactions that I have participated in with employees on several different forums.

I have never seen a questionaire, survey or focus group myself or one mentioned on any of th groups, forums, or platforms elsewhere on the web. Over the past week's worth of discussions on Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook, Ning, Yahoo Groups, I have seen the same questions arise in different ways from many people.

Some have been HR generalists that have participated in focus groups at Monster in Boston.... all the way to accountants that have attended think sessions on the future of tools at Google... and pretty much every geographical location in bewteen... no one can find any reference anywhere of feedback form people who have been invited to participate either as a one off occurence or in an ongoing influencer capacity.

Again, I am not asking for the details of the marketing firm you engage, but an understanding of your current methods &/or future roadmap for improvements in the way that different kinds of users provide imput into live site issue prioritization / future features / knowledge base enhancements.

I will be reaching out in several different platforms I participate in and encouraging people to respond with thier thoughts on how they would like to be 'listened' to.

Thank you for your continued engagement in this forum.

With warm reguards,
