Yeah well, LI is loosing it. Wasting everybody's time on useless annoyances like this - the site could be improved so much more, yet they refuse to listen to their most dedicated members - how dense can you be? You get free, valuable input and you turn your head the other way - we're used to that in politics, but LI has made it to its company policy. They even let go of one of their biggest evangelicals, Vincent Wright.
Sheilah is another MVP (or rather MVM - as recognised by the members, helping others) and how does LI treat her? Bluntly ignore her - so that it looks like as if everything is going great - hiring expensive PR bozo's to keep up the facade, while that money could (and should) be spent on improving the site and policies.
All in a frenzy to get more members - competing with FaceBook? Being rewarded for the number of signups? Not looking at the number of actually active number of members? Because all those fake profiles do count as new 'members'? Quantity over quality - how typical...
Nobody expects a site like LI to be working fine from day one or to be updated on the spot - but not listening to valuable input is just short-sighted - if members keep being irritated and harrassed by non-contributing fake-profiles with too many unwarranted privileges, the real valuable members are going to look for alternatives - I know they do and I do. Then LI will implode because fake profiles, without any connections, are not sustainable - as they are not networking - on a networking site.
So, it is a matter of time - more complaints like this, more heads buried in the sand, more people deserting LI - you can never blame your ex-members - as they told you upfront...
