LinkedIn Jail is another term for having an account restricted by LinkedIn. This is inconvenient for marketers because having a LinkedIn account restriction curtails their social selling efforts. Landing in “LinkedIn Jail” is a serious matter. It is possible to get the restriction limited. However, it is better to avoid it in the first place.
There are many examples of conduct that may result in a user’s account getting restricted. If the user has a history of abusive behavior on their account, or if they have an unusually large number of page views, LinkedIn may detect these activities and give sanctions. LinkedIn may also restrict accounts that participated in inappropriate or illegal activities.
To avoid LinkedIn Jail, professional conduct and behavior are required. It is incredibly important to be respectful in every interaction with other LinkedIn members. Depending on the violation, the user may appeal to LinkedIn to remove the restriction.
