I don't know the answer to that one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-from-pinterest-for-pinning-too-much#post-252244 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 15:28:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 252244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: lol that makes sense! but I logged into my existing account, so there are definitely people I'm following - the people with the "option" to follow are sprinkled within the ones that have the option to "unfollow"...I'll just ignore it and hope better things pop up on my homepage soon, hahah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-from-pinterest-for-pinning-too-much#post-252201 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:49:21 +0000 Rubies 252201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wowzers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-from-pinterest-for-pinning-too-much#post-252199 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:47:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 252199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Perhaps because you don't have anyone that you're following yet, so they just create a homepage for you of most recent pins I am assuming. If you have no one you're follwing then you would have no homepage... if that makes sense??!</p> <p>@kml636: Because spammers pin many pins in a row, follow many people in a row, comment or change links - and they do a lot at a time. So in an effort to combat spam, anyone who shows similar characteristics is temporarily "banned" from pinning/commenting. It's a pain but I understand why they did it I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-from-pinterest-for-pinning-too-much#post-252196 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:45:22 +0000 Rescuemom10 252196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow thats crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-from-pinterest-for-pinning-too-much#post-252190 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:40:26 +0000 kml636 252190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has got to be a first!

I just logged in and looked at the people I'm following to unfollow them - and there are a TON of people listed, but it says "follow"..why are they on there if I'm not following them? lol I'm sorry!

I went to each of those people and clicked "unfollow all". Then when I saw a board or people I liked, I click follow or follow all. I only follow people I chose. And those are the pins on my homepage </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-from-pinterest-for-pinning-too-much#post-251630 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 08:31:27 +0000 loveisstrange 251630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!

I'm thinking about getting back into pinterest - but I somehow had pins on my log in screen that I never followed in the first place, and the person wasn't in my list to unfollow. that kind of turned me off to it - she posted really bizarre things that weren't my style at all.</p> <p>if you follow enough people, do they kind of 'overtake' the log in screen, for lack of better word? (so I'm seeing what I'm interested in or what my friends are posting, as opposed to randomness?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-from-pinterest-for-pinning-too-much#post-251550 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 07:24:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 251550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen that before.

I guess I am just pinning too many in one day? I tried waiting 5 mins and it said the same thing. </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: Do you usually pin a lot in one day/time period, or is it pretty spaced out? I have only been on my PC about 10 minutes so it has honestly been less than 10-15 pins in a row! </p>
