Could it soon be time to remove your email address?

It was interesting to read Konstantin's comments on a post recently that "if needed, we may suppress profiles from the search results where LinkedIn profile fileds (sic) are misused".

Although it's in the often quoted user agreement, a lot of people break the user conduct rule which states that you should not "Post content in fields that aren’t intended for that content. Example: Putting an address in a name or title field."

LinkedIn seem to turn a blind eye to this as Konstantin says, "this problem is not upsetting our members as much as unwelcome invitations".

But, at some point, this attitude may change and it's highly likely that LinkedIn will use a tactic like "profile suppression" for those who continue to break the rules.
