Account restrictions and fighting against it – Solutions [help needed]

In the last week, I was restricted twice on LinkedIn (where I have a community of more than 8k+ people) (the first time for 48 hours, the second time for 72 hours).

I supposedly automate – no, I don’t.

I can simply write 61 words manually in 1 minute, so I can potentially create 300 to 360 comments with an average length of 10 words in one hour.

LinkedIn has been doing this a lot lately. It bans for:

  • number of visits to other profiles

  • number of comments

  • number of likes

  • number of messages

  • number of connection requests sent, etc.

My only solution is to “tame” my daily/weekly activity.

Have you faced this too? How did you manage to solve it?

My potential idea is to create a tool for this, so I could control my activity. Would you be interested in something like that?

I have also been banned before, for manual activity, they don't like doing stuff fast.

There is defenitely market for this, although it is kind of gray area in my opinion.
Because this tool would be not legaly approved by linkedin, and it would be bot automation.
https://dripify.com/ - Currently does this, for a quite expensive price.

But I think there is a lot of opportunity in this niche, it does not look saturated at all.

@gapostolov I do not mean automation, just a simple counter that notifies you that you are near the limit of comments, profile views etc. And this could be also for X, FB and IG.

I see,

For linkedIn,
Making a counter for them, for example not more than 100 DMs per day and no more than 200 connection requests per week
That would work.

But why I think it is not 100% accurate is that for example,
Today I DM-ed close to 500 people in one day, I got banned for 2 days a few minutes ago.
But for example DM-ing people that you already had communication with counts different than DM-ing someone cold.

But definetely a counter would be helpful

@gapostolov Maybe I wouldn't focus on DMs first, they could be implemented later, but thank you for pointing this out. I will try to include it too. :)
