Hey,

Thanks for the comment.

Recruiters on linkedin ignore the "I'm not looking" setting and spam candidates anyway. Linked even gives them tools to do this! So linkedin doesn't fix this issue unfortunately.

You can reply to linkedin spam messages with the filteredreduced link. It's just text. Thats what i do.

Unfortunately linkedin don't offer an api to let me automatically respond to messages on their system. Now that would be awesome if they did!

that maybe so, but again, no recruiter is going to fill out a form to contact you, which is the primary selling point of your site.
the primary selling point is to filter recruiter spam. if they don't fill in the form that's filtering in action. working perfectly as intended!
