How to connect with BP members in my area without getting blocked for spamming?

I did a search for members in my area and found a total of 13. I wanted to send a colleague request to those folks. I was able to send two (or maybe three) but on the next attempt I was blocked for spamming. I understand, and appreciate!, the effort to keep the site free of spam. So my question is .. how do I network with people in my area if I can't send several individual colleague requests? Or do I just wait and do another batch of two or three over the next couple of days?

    Hey Shera Gregory just be sure to change up the message each time so the system doesn't automatically flag you. And of course, don't send solicitation, or people will report you!

    Also - definitely set up some Keyword Alerts for "Virginia" and some big local city names, so when new people join or local people talk about your area, you can pop into those conversations.

    Hope that helps!
