From the list of Don'ts from the LinkedIn user agreement: "upload a cartoon, symbol, drawing or any content other than a photograph of yourself in your profile photo;"
Seems like you violated that... Sure there is an argument about whether or not this is a valid User Agreement, but you did agree to it by registering at their site.
- jrockway 17y agoClearly the solution is to print out the avatar image, take a photograph of it, and upload that.
- zck 17y agoIt's interesting they don't want symbols. For example, Prince might be better represented by his "love symbol" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Symbol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Symbol) than a picture of himself.
- icco 17y agoMaybe, I guess it really depends on what type of community you are trying to build. Some communities wants a noticible connection between reality and online identies, such as amazon or face book requiring (or at least wanting) real names. Other groups, like myspace or 4chan, don't care what your real name is, which promotes a far different feel of a community.
