People did it for years in CSGO. Reporting players for cheating through SteamAPI and Valve didn't even validate these reports, if the account who is reporting someone, was actually in the game together. Nope. Just reaching a certain number of reports was an automatic ban. 2 years or something without fix, funny times.

Are you aware that the style your are posting, is very close to trolling? In either way, I think you have it all backward, maybe intentionally. Op did spam fighting. And was banned for it. (Or is LinkedIn nowdays a market plattform for drugs?) But what your point actually is, is not entirely clear to me. But it is not close to arguing in good faith, which would be the style of discussion I prefer around here.
So yes Sorry that “trolling” means “disagreeing with me” that must suck. Thankfully that’s not an issue I have. Why is it so important that we elevate the experience of a person that objectively used linkedin wrong and was kicked out? What do you get out of maintaining your position and siding with the backseat modding? Are you looking for modding work?
You so far called the OP of this thread (who is a member here), "rando spammer", "misguided", "naive" and "fucking idiot". Considering that that it seems even a Microsoft employee offered support to him, it seems that you're alone in your opinion. Also please take some time to self reflect that maybe those adjectives you used apply to you instead.

I did that maybe 10 years ago and haven't had a single opportunity to regret.
I did that 10 years ago when they got hacked[1], later recruiters from two FAANG companies even found me without it (The first found me on Github, and another through a referral) and I worked for a couple of years at both companies. Like you, I'd thought I had a good run without it. More recently, I noticed that some of the people who were way junior to me earlier in my career, are way ahead of me because they were s…
I recommend filing a report with the Microsoft Security Response Center, especially in light that a malicious party may now have information on you, and as people below pointed out there may be (1) risk of Doxing, and/or (2) there are some suggestions that Microsoft (LinkedIn) employees may be compromised. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc (Report an Issue)

Of all the social networks, I never would've guessed that LinkedIn is the one people turn to when they want to sell drugs.
Though these could be honeypots or straight up scams
I never thought I would say this but LinkedIn seems to have gone even further downhill than it was a few years ago. You know things are bad when even the low end recruiters seem to have left the platform. These days 90% of the contacts/connect requests I receive are from dodgy pension "advisors" trying to get their hands on my pension pot cash.
Further downhill than secretly installing an IMAP proxy on your phone and hijacking all your email to go through it in a way that destroyed all TLS security to your real mail server? Impressive...

OP's wording could have been better but you can understand he means images of illegal drugs. Very kind of you to nitpick this, how else could people have known?
Imagine if your job was moderating content and some rando spammed your mod queue with “illegal imagery!!!” (which is not, in fact, factually true) and then you banned them to get rid of the noise, then somehow their story made it to the front of HN.
I moderate a few subreddits over on Reddit and spam purporting to be offers for black market drugs of abuse which use messaging services like Wickr & Telegram have been a problem for years. Worse, it's shockingly difficult to convince the site admins of Reddit to decisively act on this sort of content, even though it's explicitly against their site-wide policies. I suppose this is probably the case for every site whi…
