Hello and welcome to my latest blog post.
Thank you very much for dropping by my blog post today.
I really appreciate you dropping by so thank you very much for that!
Todays blog post is about being banned from LinkedIn….again.
If anyone wants to contact LinkedIn on my behalf and ask them politely to reinstate my account?
That would be much appreciated.
Hello Theodore,
You say:
“Thanks for contacting us. Your account has violated the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies. Due to the number and/or the severity of these violations, your account will remain restricted.”
Yet I have no idea what comments you are talking about or referring to.
You have also provided no examples of what I have done “wrong”.
I am very clearly using linkedin as it is intended to be used.
Now, I came back onto linkedin and I sent support a note saying if they wish to censor me then just censor me.
Support did not respond.
So I spent quite some time creating my profile and loading up Articles that are very high quality articles.
Someone over there did something to suspend my account every Sunday and I have had to submit an appeal every week for three months or so.
Now you claim that I have “violated the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies” yet you have not provided any examples.
Everything I have said on Linkedin is true and / or sincerely believed.
So I would suggest you send an email to Reid Hoffman and ask him if he supports this censorship on the platform he is responsible for.
Because it is Reid I will hold accountable.
Personally?
I think if you are going to make a claim like “violated the LinkedIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies” you should explain and provide examples and not be like facebook.
So we shall see if you are willing to discuss this, or willing to ask Reid if this is his decision.
Personally?
I think you are censoring me now for the very reason that I got a post to get 22,000 views.
Let’s see what you say in return Theodore.
Best Regards
Peter Andrew Nolan.
