If you send out a lot of invitations and only FIVE people choose to click the new 'Don't Know' button, your account will be automatically frozen until you contact customer service and 'promise' not to invite people you don't know, or otherwise annoy LinkedIn. These days, it might be smarter to contact the person directly or through InMail or via an introduction before you send them a direct invitation request. It's your choice, but many, many well known open networkers are reporting their accounts frozen on the main Yahoo LinkedIn forums. Sincerely, Jon Williamson linkedin@southrondreams.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/jonwilliamson I accept almost all LinkedIn connection requests Hi, everybody:

I’m an open networker, and I want to warn you about LinkedIn’s new policies.

If you send out a lot of invitations and only FIVE people choose to click the new ‘Don’t Know’ button, your account will be automatically frozen until you contact customer service and ‘promise’ not to invite people you don’t know, or otherwise annoy LinkedIn.

These days, it might be smarter to contact the person directly or through InMail or via an introduction before you send them a direct invitation request.

It’s your choice, but many, many well known open networkers are reporting their accounts frozen on the main Yahoo LinkedIn forums.

I have had trouble getting new invites approved since hitting my 3000. Also, with the new restrictions, building a huge network may be a thing of the past. I always had so much fun finding ways to contact people and get email addresses. To bad that is a thing of the past! :) If anyone wants to add me as a connection, simlply send an invite to cmoline7@aol.com! 'I won't spam you with requests, I just want my network to grow!' :) -Chris Thanks so much for the article. I have had trouble getting new invites approved since hitting my 3000.
