This companies computer systems are fatally flawed. You sign up using an email address. But if you move and no longer use that IP your email address changes. Then if you forget your password, well you cannot reset it because your email is no longer valid. Customer service, which is email based only cannot assist you. With computer systems this poor, do not expect privacy, data hacks or that your information is being sold without your knowledge.

I had collected what was probably thousands of pins over the years with hundreds of followers. I loved pinterest! Then, I decided to organize my pins using the new sub-boards. I also upgraded my account to a business account. I was copying pins to sub-boards with the intent of removing the old ones, and Pinterest closed my account... with NO warning. The only explanation I received was that most of my pins were spam (not true at all) or that I posted something inappropriately. Vague responses, no warning, and all is lost.

I like Pinterest and all, I think it's fine, but I have two complaints:
1. The constant change of formatting. In the past week, there have been two changes in format, causing me to get confused and save pins to the wrong board.
2. The DOZENS of daily notifications. I'm sorry Pinterest, but I DON'T CARE if someone saved the same pin as me. You don't have to send me a bunch of notifications saying "6 pins from Ideas were saved." I end up having to take a few minutes to clear out my inbox and checking my notifications to see if they are worth looking at, which most of the time they aren't.

I loved the fact that I could search anything and save those items to an account. I got involved in some political sites where I made some honest comments. I was blindsided with what they call a "suspension" for "hate speech" I repeatedly requested that Pintrist point out where I made such speech and asked to appeal my "suspension" I received only computer generated responses stating they suspended my account for hate speech. They claim there is an appeal process, but that is untrue. Pintrist has no accountability to anyone as to why they can suddenly terminate your account, call it a "suspension" and claim that the suspension can be appealed. They terminate accounts of people they disagree with and offer no evidence of their claims of violating their code of conduct. Good luck trying to get someone to talk to. I had no luck either through emails or attempted phone contact. Suspension means termination of your account and no further access. No arguing the point or appealing your case. Your terminated. VERY UNFAIR

I was sent a message on May 29th alerting me of my suspension, with no explanation, only that they would be sending an email explaining why. I sent an email to their help desk explaining I was a long time member with thousands of posts, none of which I considered to be against their policy. They acknowledged my email and said I'd get a reply shortly. I have not heard back nor do I expect to. This is not the first time this has happened and I have learned my lesson. They have no regard for their members and their customer service is nonexistent. Never again!

Hate Pinterest... they shut me down and then when i asked why they never let me know. I have messaged them an insane number of time and no reason... when I was back up, I noticed that over ******* pins vanished... no clue why. That was several months ago... I started pinning again and just noticed that I lost another 2000 pins! WHY? I am no doing anything wrong... no copyright problems, etc. Time to start taking down ALL my pins and posting them somewhere else like on my computer. I can; t wait to get off this site.

You are right. I saved things that I would go back to and it was work created. I would also have like for them to send me a notice as a courtesy to say you need to make some changes, and I would have. It makes no sense to me for us to put in all that work and they know it also. It would not take a moment no more then it does to send a email stating we have removed your account because of. That could have been we will remove if you don't. Give a time and as I know I would have made those changes. They clearly say no sex content and I had a follower who did that to me. That page is still there. Doug I know how you feel. I don't click on anything that says Pinterest.

Ok ok, it was not always like that, but it's grown a lot for a few years.
I've always had memory problems on my devices and this site saved me a lot because in it i can save anything from any site. At first i used (think like everyone else) to save ideas from home and diy, but now i see that i can literally save everything, create several folders of several different things, i can follow just the folders that interest me in other profiles and even i do not wanting to expose a content that im saving it may become private to me. I love it too much and it's my recomendation #1 for social network!

I reviewed the Pinterest terms when I signed up and re-reviewed them after receiving a notice of suspension. I have many personal and business ideas pinned that I am suddenly unable to access. Rather than some form of summary suspension, it would be courteous to be contacted about the potential concerns to see if suspension is warranted first. I find it insulting to be suspended without notice or specific reason. If this is going to be a practice, then I have little reason to participate in this community.
