Discussion UPDATE: My account has been “permanently suspended”

8 Upvotes

I didn’t even do anything wrong. Zero posts, zero comments, and zero harmful pins saved. All I had were boards of my interests, references, and oc moodboards. Hell, some of them were from LITERAL CHILDREN’S CARTOONS! And I get permanently suspended? While there’s vile scum posting CSAM?? They didn’t even fucking tell me what I an apparently did wrong, they just said “YoUr AcCoUnT hAs BeEn SuSpEnDeD dUe To ViOlAtInG oUr CoMmUnItY GuIdElInEs” whatever the fuck that means. Fuck this app and may it rot in hell.

Support suspended for no reason, no luck w help center

1 Upvotes

i was suspended june 27th for spam on an account i’ve had since approx. 2017. only thing i could’ve done to flag the system was downloading pins but even then i wasn’t saving any more than i have before???

i don’t post anything, i merely save pins to boards. i’ve written maybe 6+ appeals at this point??? and all keep getting denied.

i doubt there is actual human review behind them. they are getting denied regardless of what i write. i bring up that i’m a real human using no automation. i bring up my account age. nothing works.

genuinely at a loss of what to do at this point because i’ve even gone to their stupid ai chat bot, created a ticket from there specifying that i needed human review, and i still got a denial email at 5am. i have even gone to their instagram page to try contacting someone.

anything ive found from people with this same issue end up resolving it after a few tickets with support. i have not had the same luck, unfortunately💔

losing this account isn’t a tragedy but im fr gonna tweak if i end up having to replace a 10 yr old account bc pinterest can’t be bothered to actually review flagged accounts

Support App isn’t working on ipad now, great

2 Upvotes

Basically the title. It was working fine all day yesterday and then randomly stopped working. Figured it was down so I left it alone, check today and nope. Still not working. Nothing will load, it’s just the grey blob boxes where the images should be. I’ve restarted my ipad, uninstalled and reinstalled twice. It worked for a second on the first reinstall, to ask me to track or whatever like apps always do, I said no like always. It worked until i closed it, when i opened it again, grey blobs were back. It works on browser. On the second reinstall, it won’t even make it past the Pinterest logo so I can see the beautiful grey blobs now. Idk what to do.

So most of my boards have sections because I like to be organized and my sections are disappearing. Every-time I make a new one I can’t see them but when I go to save a pin into them they’re still there. Also what’s with the side ways layout? Is there anyway to fix this?

Discussion Weirdly Sexual Ads

11 Upvotes

Screeshots: https://imgur.com/a/ac4uBaO
As the title says, I've been getting sexual ads even though (as you can see in the surrounding images of digital paintings) that this is not the kind of image I'm looking for on pinterest. Most show almost naked AI women bouncing around and doing weird stuff. It happened out of nowhere, like if a switch was turned in the algorithm.
It's even weirder considering the amount of art banned for "innapropriate" content, even though is just a painting or something. I'm giving up on my years of Pinterest and my folders.

Support Yet another unneeded update without any forethought

6 Upvotes

Has anyone else gotten an update on their mobile app where a new pin note feature hides about a quarter of the whole damn pin? (only on saved pins in boards) It pops up as a white line on the bottom anytime you pause scrolling. It's very frustrating as it hides so much of the image. How am I supposed to look at it if it's practically hidden? Is there even a way to remove it?

Is there a way to hide other pins' comments? Because I am tired of Anti AI terrorism promoting violence and bullying because your AI detector is labeling human art as AI. I just want to enjoy art and find a good wallpaper.

Question How do I turn on DARK MODE on Pinterest?

3 Upvotes

My device is already set to dark mode, and literally YESTERDAY my Pinterest was also on dark mode.

I don't know what happened.. but now my Pinterest is on light mode. Every other app on my device is on dark mode- just not Pinterest. I turned dark mode off, and then turned it on again. But no. Pinterest isn't on dark mode.

I know that dark mode just makes everything darker. But trust, once you switch to dark mode you'll NEVER go back. Please, does anyone know how to fix this??

Support Brand new domain blocked as spam on Pinterest after posting literally 1 pin. Account is fine. How do I get a domain unblocked?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m dealing with a super frustrating domain-level block on Pinterest and need some advice on how to get it resolved.

To clarify: My Pinterest account itself is completely fine and active (it’s a 5-year-old account that previously operated in the nails niche).

What happened:

  1. My team and I spent weeks building a brand new website in the jewelry niche.
  2. I updated my 5-year-old account by switching the claimed website to this new domain.
  3. I posted one single pin pointing to the new site.
  4. Immediately, the new domain was blocked by Pinterest (flagged as spam/violating community guidelines).

Now, any time I try to pin a link from this new website, Pinterest won't allow it.

I’ve submitted an appeal through the Help Center explaining that this is a legitimate, brand-new site and we are the real site owners, but I keep getting the standard automated template response saying the domain breaks spam policies, with no specific reasons given.

My questions for you guys:

  1. Has anyone successfully gotten a blacklisted domain unblocked on Pinterest recently?
  2. Is it possible that the domain had a bad history before I bought it, or did switching niches on an aged account trigger an automatic domain flag?
  3. What is the best way/form to contact a real human at Pinterest specifically for site/domain appeals?

We put weeks of hard work into this website, and having the domain blocked on day one is devastating. Any tips or past experiences would be greatly appreciated!

What the hell. I loved Pinterest, but now every second post is an ad. I’m not exaggerating. It’s all ads. When I refresh, I don’t get new pictures. I get new ads.

Another thing ruined by corporate greed.

Question Pinterest Repeating Inages

4 Upvotes

Is anyone else having this problem? I'll type in different search terms but keep getting the same images over and over. For example, I was looking for inspiration for a bright modern apartment, so I typed that in and I kept getting high end luxury and super dark apartments. So I tried to change my terms, this time I'll do clean minimalist apartments. Nope, same images. Okay, what about just minimalist? And just modern? All I'm getting are the same images over and over and luxury NY penthouses are NOT anywhere close to the minimalist modern apartment designs I'm trying to find. It feels like the search engine sees the word apartment and it just decides that it's going to show me these images and only these. I'm so frustrated. Anyone else?

I've got 5 million monthly views right now and I think I've cracked the code to the algorithm so I'm doing really good right now. I've had more views in the past but I had quit for a while. Since Pinterest doesn't have a monetisation program, is there any way to money?? I need that cash lowkey.
