“Lobster tales christmas 23”

Jeffrey M.
3/7/24

Ordered lobster tails on pinterest Christmas 23. Never heard a damn thing. Money was taken 2 days after ordering from my bank account. Still to this day 3/7/24 haven't heard a goddamn thing and yes I am pissed. Pinterest seems to be a place where criminals can play their games. Pinterest needs to do alot better at policing their website. In my book pinterest sucks real bad!

Tip for consumers:

Used to be very good, however too many people are restricting browsing with annoying adverts you can't get rid of. I am about to delete it from my iPad.

Pinterest is fraught with spam issues and endorses sweeping agendas to remove content reminiscent of an Orwellian novel

Not a venue worthy of the support of those who value free speech- alarming!

If you want to conduct your business by online exposure, this is a good place for that.
But you need to be careful since they are becoming more and more strict with regulations, etc

This place is filled with art reposters/thieves.

This person, https://pin.it/5FJy1R1 stole are from this artist https://joky-the-jester.tumblr.com/post/**************/please-i-need-your-help-this-person-has-published

The Artist, Jokylexander, asked the art thief to take their work down. The art thief responded by blocking them. Keep in mind that this is not the only artist this person has stolen from, and there's many more art thieves on this app.

The artist, their friends, and I have been trying to contact Pinterest for help and have yet to get a response.

If only I could do the things on Pinterest. They have everything you need. It's perfect. Whatever you are looking for from projects to sewing, it's there.

I am a user, but one of the few people I know who does use Pinterest, but it's always a struggle. I even tried to write a letter of what I truly dislike about the site, and I couldn't even find a place to write my critique!
It's diff icult to get to sites and then when you get to a site for a recipe, they give you ingredients but you have to dig deeper to find the full recipe and how to make it. I try not to talk bad about the website because I unfortunately am a stockholder, but no place to complain! I get why the stock is down becaue it's just a very frustrating website. I hope you let newcomers work with your developer to try to use the site to see how they can navigate. It won't be easy.

I'm sure this happens way more than people post
This is the second time your site has lost info and can't sign back in to this account. It makes no sense i post nothing and at most just save pins and talk to 1 person so I don't why your site /app has done this once again. I don't want to lose another account and at this point will not make another and start promoting the fact to stop using this app if they can just make you lose everything you have done in past years.
Then take a stand as it isn't you issue and it is my issue so deal with it.
What's the point of saving these pins just to not have them.

Please straighten this issue as this is total bull$#*! and kind of lame on you r companies behalf to not correct issue and then expect me to go back and want to use and trust site.

Please advise what correction can be done for my issue or will say goodbye to this site and app and promote the fact it is not worth using if they can just delete your existence from Pinterest and never give back access with no good reason and proof.

Also have copied note and will post on review sites for Pinterest if i don't hear back.

Sincerely not impressed with this company.

Tip for consumers:
Find another app to do the same things so you don't lose everything

I receive several emails from them about pins that supposedly should interest me. But they won't let me look at any pins until I log on. It is just very annoying

I would give them zero stars if i could. You can build boards and put pins on them, but you can't do much because they start accusing you of spamming your own boards. If you build too many boards, if you pin too many pins, if you do any of that beyond 10 or so, you are a spammer. And then you get blocked to guard against spammy behavior. Then you can't get back on for some hours. Someone like me likes to cover a subject well with about 100 or so pins on a board and in the sections. But that is bad, and we Pinterest users are not adults, we are bad children who must be scolded and punished. And on top of all that, they are conservatives who lean right, they don't like today's issues, they don't like people who think for themselves and they don't like poor people. I am a poor person. I am somewhat like a hippie. They hate all of that. Don't go here unless you want to be treated like trash by snooty snobs.

Tip for consumers:
Don't be political, Democrat, hippie, poor or colorful.

You can't trust these people. One day you'll go to log in and you'll get a message that your account has been suspended. When you try to find out why, they'll give you a $#*! and bull story about how you are posting "spammy pins" when you are NOT posting spammy pins. You will lose everything you have on their site. DO NOT TRUST PINTEREST!

I have several good and interesting boards on Pinterest which I have had for 5 years or so. However, for the past three weeks I have been receiving up to 15 stupid automated emails a day from them saying they have removed various and perfectly innocent pins due to either copyright infringement or that they go against Pinterest rules and contain images of nudity/pornography. I have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER posted any kind of material like this and would never do so therefore I find their accusations a deformation of my character. For example, one pin they removed was of my new baby granddaughter on my secret board and said it contained images of nudity/pornography, when in actual fact it was of a new born baby aged 10 hours! I mean come on. Another one they have removed was of a blue rose bush. I always give credit to the original pinner when I share an image and if it is supposed to be copyrighted then why is it even on Pinterest in the first place? Furthermore, they are removing pins from two boards I have deleted some time ago so how do they get hold of these is my question? Complaining to them proves fruitless too as all I receive back each and every time is a stupid automated email which is totally full of irrelevant crap and never resolves or even remotely answers my question. I have spent ages building my boards only to have Pinterest screw them up and ruin everything, there doesn't even seem to be a head office I can write to. Bye bye Pinterest.

I do not recommend this company. They are bias and pro-abortion. They have banned live action from using their website by labeling them as porn. I am extremely disappointed.

I used to be able to scroll through videos all day. Now I can't because when I tap on a video it just doesn't play ever or it just shows pictures since it has been updated. Worst website ever.

I don't like the fact that they have people "following" me who I DON'T EVEN KNOW! What's this about? They just put this crap on my profile w/OUT MY KNOWLEDGE?
I do like getting ideas for knitting and sewing patterns which is what I use it for... to get ideas on things. Some things cost bux tho... But overall it's okay. You can get some neat ideas and free stuff on there. I once tried to get FREE SAMPLES of? And I did start the process only to have my email FLOODED w/SPAM! You Need to be VERY cautious of what sites you go on! I found that out REAL FAST!
Ironically I googled a cousin of mine, name and I found HER! So it is good for such! I Couldn't believe that one! I hadn't seen or heard from her in YEARS! So I tried to see if she was on there and sure enough she was! Wow! There are Good things on here but as w/Always you Need to be careful!

Tip for consumers:
You may get on there and never get off!!!!

T N got me an invite, and I've since spent all morning on here! It's like another image sharing website, except the concept of it is ingenious. The idea is to "pin" things that you find of "interest" (hence, pinterest) onto your very own board.
Except the boards are never-ending. As you keep scrolling, more and more images appear so there's no hassle with needing to click "forward" or "backward".

One thing I can't rave enough about this site is that it is very intuitive. It's super friendly to use and you won't ever be thinking "how do I do this? Why can't this function be more obvious? Ugh, i don't wanna read your 50 page FAQ".

You can categorize and label your boards so not everything is meshed together in one big blob. You can opt for a board to be private, so no one else can see it but you. Once you pin something, you can go back to edit your pin or delete it if you ever needed to.
When viewing other pins: liking, saving, repinning is as easy as hovering over the image of choice, and clicking one of the three buttons that will appear above the image.
The home page is a combination of pins from all of your friends, the people you follow, and you. The most recent pins are always first, so their new great finds are automatically shared with you.

Love how easy it is to use this website!

Pinterest is a really fun pin board website that allows you to pin different websites and pictures and arrange them into boards. This technique is really useful because it keeps your ideas and interest organized and in one place. On Pinterest you can create your own boards, as well as see others boards, which can be very useful when searching for pins that interest you. Pinterest has many different categories such as food, art, home decor, and DIY projects. I love getting on Pinterest to find DIY present ideas. The website is easy to use and has some very useful features. One feature that I specifically like is that each pin has a link to the original website which can be very helpful with the DIY projects or food recipes. One con about the website is that in order to create a Pinterest you have to receive an invitation. This can be a little annoying because it takes a couple of days to process, but it is worth the wait. I would recommend Pinterest to anyone, I have even got my mother hooked.

I just signed up on Pinterest and have been trying to use the system but CANNOT GET OFF "THE TOUR." I heard a lot about pinterest and have looked at it often for various interests, but it is so maddening to not be able to use it. There are no instructions on how to get off the tour and just use the thing. I have been working on this for 45 minutes and I'm disgusted
