You're banned... (a short tale about Xing and being a robot)

I have recently had an issue with Xing that I wanted to share, just in case you find yourself working on a German language project and don't have access to a premium account. Due to the restrictions on the free search I decided to utilise Google to perform an X-ray search. 

The following is the basis for all my search strings around Xing, it usually needs some tweaking but that's for another post:

(site:xing.com/profile | site:xing.com/profiles) “Insert Search String Here”

As I was looking at a number of profiles I had a large number of tabs open at the same time (not really that many by my standards). This actually led Xing to suspend my account. When I spoke with Xing about this they advised that having multiple tabs open at any one time makes it look like you are a robot opening pages in multiple locations. I explained what I did and they advised not to open more than one or two tabs at any one time otherwise I’d be picked up as a robot again and banned. 

So in essence, don't open a barrel load of tabs on Xing or you might get yourself banned...
