LinkedIn scammers and spammers beware:
There’s a new rule that’s finally going to take out your kneecaps: 100 max invites per week.
At some point over the last month, LinkedIn REALLY started cracking down on the number of invites you can send out per week to just 100.
Before this time, the max number of invites you could send was dependent on what seemed to be an algorithm which detected your invite acceptance rate combined with some other random account activity measures.
Not any more. And thank god!
Hat’s off to LinkedIn for finally cracking down on things.
This limitation will greatly reduce the number of spammy accounts running on the platform.
The warning goes something like this:
You’ve reached the weekly invitation limit
Connections benefit you more when you know them personally, so we have weekly limits to encourage better networks.
For people you don’t know, you can follow them to see their posts or send an InMail instead. If you’d still like to send an invitation, please try again next week.
