Pinterest Weirdness Part 3


Ha-ha! The form e-mails are getting ever more vague. Now the pin "might" have nudity in it (that seems to be the norm, the might bit) but they don't even tell you what the pin was (how can you check you don't have others like it if you don't even know what is was), or provide a link (when they e-mailed me back when I complained about the 4th pin they removed of mine they were going to provide links again--I still don't know what it was), and they don't even know if you or someone else pinned it; also, they don't even bother to define nudity any more and they are sorry if they screwed up. Maybe they could just start sending e-mails saying they have no idea why they are removing pins and they may very likely have made a mistake but could you please remove any similar Pins anyway even tho they can't tell you what they removed or why they actually did remove it... 

My husband got this very non-helpful e-mail from Pinterest tonight (I removed his name and the Board name):

Hi --,
I'm sorry to say that we had to remove one of your pins from Pinterest. The reason is, it looks like the pin may have had nudity on it.
The pin was on your board "---" and it was originally uploaded by you or another pinner. Could you please remove any other pins like this from your account?
Right now we don't allow nudity on Pinterest, because a lot of people use our site at work and around their families. We’ve outlined all this in our Help Center and acceptable use policy.
If we made a mistake and your pin didn't have nudity on it, we're really sorry. Please let us know so we can keep improving our process.
Thanks so much for using Pinterest.
Sincerely,
Ben & The Pinterest Team
