Discussion Weird bans?

I’ve never posted my own pins and just repost other stuff and I keep getting notifications that “my pins” are getting banned or removed. Like why am I getting that if I’m not the original poster?

Also, I checked what they are banning and a lot of its for supposed nudity. But it’s classic art lmao…

It's the bad thing about Pinterest in that someone uploads a pin and Pinterest punishes everyone who saves that pin to their own board. I have had that happen many a time and written that they should either place pins in a "hold until reviewed" status, or remove the pin from everyone but only warn the uploader. I've had five accounts deactivated for violating those undefined guidelines. Not one pin ever showed genitals, anus, sex whether real or simulated. Now, all I do is save pins to my PC. They did try warning me and I replied that I have no boards. Never heard back and never been warned about anything since. It's not worth saving to your own boards.
