How do I block a user from sending me messages?

PLEASE find a way for us to block users on here. I am continuing to be harassed on here by someone I am trying to stay away from!

I can't disable group member messaging since I don't want to stop other members from contacting me. I have flag all his previous messages as spam and got two more today.

He is NOT a contact, Christine! My question was slightly different from the question at the start of the thread... I wanted to know if it's possible to block another LinkedIn user [who is not a contact] from viewing your profile. I guess the answer is no. Obviously having your profile on LinkedIn is a trade-off between good things such as sharing knowledge and being visible to headhunters and bad things such as being visible to salesmen on the prowl... Such is life!

I'm being stalked by family members. I've read the privacy options and anybody that knows my personal email can still view me and send me invitations no matter what I do. It seems the only option for me is to close my account since there is no other way to protect my privacy on linked in. I haven't posted much about education or jobs and I didn't want to start until my account was secure. I guess this site is just as bad as Facebook!

Disable group member messaging, Vivian, or flag his messages as spam.

Is there any way I can help you further?

If you are seeing the messages appear in your LinkedIn "Inbox", all you have to do is click the "Report Spam" link appearing above the message the next time one arrives in your "Inbox".

If you are seeing the messages appear in an inbox away from the LinkedIn website, you need to mark the email address as "junk" or "spam".

In either case the messages will no longer arrive in your inbox.

Depends on your personality, but it seems like linkedin just doesn't have that option, so maybe just respond to him directly and politely? There may be many more people feeling like you do regarding his spam.

Yes, and I am one of them. This should have the option to block unwanted visitors.

I agree with Marcia Turner. My profile is constantly being viewed by a salesman (Tony Williams ( http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=56289205&authType=name&authToken=HY3O&trk=wvmx-profile-title )) who I have told not to cold-call me any more. He views my profile on a daily basis, and I am not happy about him having access to any of my details. This is now beginning to worry me.

My request is similar to the others, but in my case the user is not a contact and I am not getting email in my LinkedIn inbox. This user, who I do not know, is posting anywhere from 2 to 6 messages every day to a group I belong to. I get an email on my primary account (not LinkedIn) email address for each posting. I simply want to block this user so that I don't see any more of his self-serving postings. I don't want to change my group settings (e.g. to a weekly digest) or leave the group. Any suggestions?
