The Perspective on LinkedIn Restrictions:
LinkedIn restrictions, while seemingly negative, are not always detrimental. Since 2019, LinkedIn has enforced stricter regulations on certain activities, making restrictions more common.
Primary Causes of LinkedIn Restrictions:
User Complaints: Inappropriate outreach tactics, such as overly direct or impolite communication, can lead to complaints from other LinkedIn users.
Increased Profile Activity: A significant rise in activity on LinkedIn, whether through manual efforts or Automation tools, can result in restrictions. It's important to gradually increase activity levels.
Exceeding Interaction Limits: Overuse of connection requests, either manually or through automation, can trigger restrictions.
Rapid Account Activity: Excessively quick reactions and activities on LinkedIn are monitored and can be suspicious.
Multiple Log-ins into different LinkedIn Accounts from the Same Browser with the same cookies: To avoid this issue, it is advisable to use browser extensions for clearing cookies.
Incomplete Profiles: Profiles lacking comprehensive information may be mistaken for automated bots.
Inconsistency between the Profile information and the ID you use for verification
Verification through fake IDs
Profiles with AI generated photos for a profile picture
Multiple sessions using different IPs, from different countries
Inaccurate Professional Information: Providing illogical or incorrect workplace and location details can lead to account restrictions. If you change your location, this can also lead to request for verification
Usage of plugins that were blacklisted by LinkedIn
New Policies: Verification request wasn't as common as it is now earlier but now the verification request might even be random, especially if you've never went through it or maybe you started using your account after a long period of inactivity.
*According to the current dynamic, we have a hypothesis, that LinkedIn now is on its way to make all the users verify themselves through Persona KYC system, batch by batch. So you might get a restriction just so you could be verified.
What to do if you got restricted?
Restrictions on LinkedIn are typically temporary, and require user verification by ID or work email to lift.
To regain access, users should follow the provided instructions upon login, which may include identity verification. The process usually takes between 2 to 5 days, and users will be notified via email once the restriction is lifted.
If you got permanently banned, it's best to contact customer support to figure out a way to resurrect your account.
If you got restricted, simply lower the limits for the Sender Profile on GetSales and increase the time between task execution. Besides that what you can do is log out from LinkedIn from other devices, so you don't have too many active sessions.
Usually, LinkedIn mentions why an account is restricted, so it's better to check the email carefully and fix the issue. Feel free to contact the customer's support for clarification.
You can verify your account with ID prematurely, it's just an option on LinkedIn - through Persona,
