Subject: Tuesday Tip: LinkedIn’s Moderation Process for Groups

View this email online if it doesn't display correctly
Hi Friend, 

I’m often emailed by group members asking, “Why do some of my LinkedIn group postings show up in groups, but not in others?” 

The quick answer, it depends.

Occasionally, our team of moderators may not approve your discussion or post, move it to the jobs tab based the content and audience, or sometimes it may even get deleted entirely. 

However, there is another factor that comes into play, LinkedIn’s classifier queue or auto-moderation system. You can learn more about it here, http://bit.ly/2IBo8Ik

This system was designed to automatically help reduce spam and other irrelevant topics in groups. Most of these posts are deleted automatically, and sometimes they are put in a queue for moderation by our team to temporarily override the system and approve. (See image below.) 

As a group owner, I don't have access to the algorithms or settings that Linkedin use to choose posts for moderation. If you are trying to post and are not seeing it in the group discussions or job tab, please use the tips below to ensure that it meets Linkedin's requirements for group conversations and posting articles that are relevant to your group’s interests and intent.
Here are some best practices to help you make the most of your LinkedIn Group contributions: 
  • Invite discussion. Ask for members' input on a topic or article that you share and phrase your update as a question.
  • If you find yourself disagreeing in a conversation, remember to keep discussion respectful.
  • Avoid posting things that may be seen as self-promotion. Learn how to avoid self-promotion.
  • If you're sharing a link or article, state its relevance to the group.
  • If you're sharing a job opening with a group, post it under the Jobs tab. Learn how to post a job in your group.
  • This is your group, so you can report inappropriate content/spam when you see it. Reporting inappropriate content/spam helps everybody in the group, and it helps us Linkedin identify trends so they can prevent similar activity in all groups.
