Title: I&#x27;ve been on LinkedIn for a while with zero issues with my normal cartoon avatar (which I use absolutely everywhere). Then yesterday, in the middle of my new startup&#x27;s fundraise, they hit me with an ID verification and banned my account + deleted my startup&#x27;s page.<p>My profile is missing. I have unanswered messages with people whose emails I don&#x27;t have. Potential investors etc. Friends reaching out asking me why my profile is missing.<p>They didn&#x27;t tell me why. Still this morning I didn&#x27;t know. Now they just responded with an email telling me my &quot;appeal has been denied&quot;, and telling me that they removed my avatar for not complying with the TOS.<p>Zero warning, just straight to ban. This is the avatar: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;leclan.ch (it&#x27;s used with the author&#x27;s permission)
