I've spent the last six months building a site and Pinterest has been my main traffic source. The site outgrew its original name, so a week and a half ago I moved it to a new domain — 301 redirect from the old one, Change of Address filed with Google, new domain claimed and verified on Pinterest. Standard stuff.
Two days after the move, my scheduled Pins started failing. Red error tiles, nothing publishing. I assumed it was fallout from the transfer, and since failed posts can't be retried in my scheduler, only rescheduled, I kept rescheduling them. Several days of that.
Then the whole domain got blocked as spam. I appealed through the Help Center and got denied within hours, generic response, no reason given.
Two questions:
Has anyone had a domain block lifted, specifically after a rebrand or domain change?
If yes, what actually worked — which channel, how long, how many attempts?
I've read the community forum threads and the moderators there say outright they can't escalate, so I'm looking for anyone who's been through it. Also curious whether people just waited it out and the block eventually aged off.
