oooooooh why Pinterest? *edited*

EDIT: They reactivated my account and said it was an error on their side. They also let me keep all my pins too which was awesome. I still am a bit worried about being suspended in the future but for now I will continue to use pinterest (just need to find a way to backup my pins). And just to let you guys know I got a response from a human being the 2nd time around.


So the last few days (well okay weeks) I have been trying to figure out an actual fashion style.

That's right. I am not fashionable. I typically wear jeans + t-shirt.

So I decided I was going to use pinterest to save my pins to (because before I downloaded the picture of the thing I liked and had folders on my actual computer). So I made a pinterest account and started pinning things Monday. I managed to pin 91 (it might be less now) things on pinterest and then today when I started to try to organize my clothing board (I made another one just for summer) I got my account suspended.

*long rant below, you have been warned*



So I did what the normal user would do. I freaked out, then checked the help area to make sure I didn't break any rules, and then I sent them a nicely worded message because they didn't even send me a suspension email like they were supposed to. And do you know what I got back from my nicely worded message? An auto-generated reply asking me to reply back (which I did). And I am now currently waiting for them to get back to me on why exactly I got suspended (really I would LOVE to know).

All I was doing before I got suspended was moving pins from my fashion board to my newly created summer board (so I could have fall/winter stuff in one board and summer stuff in the other). I do not see how they could suspend me for that seeing as how I made both of the boards for myself...and I wasn't pinning anything new. I am really confused. If they give me an automated response back again telling me my account is unsuspended and don't tell me why my account was suspended in the first place I will be really upset. I was not intending to break any rules, and there was no way I would wear something so sexy it would get me banned because of some rule (I only pinned stuff I thought was cute/think longer skirts/tights + skirts).

So yeah. Currently angry about pinterest and losing a lot of work. I might do an update about this if I am happy with the outcome but currently I would not recommend pinterest to anyone wanting to save stuff, seemingly they suspend accounts out of nowhere.

To be honest I got much better customer service from tumblr (my account got suspended there and they got back to me within an half an hour AND it was clearly not an auto-generated reply, thank you again tumblr). I guess I can just post stuff to my tumblr account instead. *sighs* still all that hard work.
