all i wanted was a reasonable answer as to why my account was deleted! i only ever pinned things on the pinterest website, and also uploaded images that i had created, by myself and of my own which i chose to share. when i tried to contact them, after sending 8 emails, i received no response. my account was suspended, without any notice. The whole premise of Pinterest is ridiculous seeing as you can have your pins taken down for any number of petty reasons and of course, there's the whole copyright issue. I then receive a flurry of emails from them saying they're reactivated my account! I finally realise it's some kind of ploy to encourage you not to delete your account and stop clicking on it. So I do that and receive an email saying 'we'll delete your account after 14 days however, if you wish to keep you account log in before that time is up', except there's a red tab saying 'delete account' under that sentence which of course logs you back in. So I think, I'm over this, I'll just delete my account. They informed me that I need to go through all my pins (there are a lot!) and make sure there's no more inappropriate content or they'll 'take action'. I would never pin anything harmful so I can only assume (because they didn't tell me which pin it was) that it was an album cover or something like that. So I receive an email from them saying they've removed a pin due to inappropriate, self harming content (in other words, some little troll dobbed me in). I hadn't used it for a few years until recently, although I had accumulated a lot of pins. I've had a Pinterest account for almost 10 years.
