Today, I'm unable to pin from ToughNickel to Pinterest. I get that message about spam.

Thanks, Robin!
Got it. I tried to pin as well and it was blocked. What do you think my co-workers would think about that pin??
I'm sure you're a joy to work with, Robin! They would not be able to relate in the least.
I had the same problem. it mentioned the word 'spam'
I had that problem too. They wouldn't let me pin anything. Maybe it's all the new niche sites.
Thank you for letting us know. I'll send it to Pinterest today. It usually takes a few days for them to fix it.
Pinterest have pretty strict spam filters and sometimes the wrong website gets caught by it. I think they penalise websites that don't have original content or don't attribute the source of the content.
Not that problem here, all my material and images are my own.
Ok then it's clearly a mistake on their part.
It's not a mistake, it's Pinterest protecting itself from spammers.
The whole idea of Pinterest is that people are supposed to be sharing things they think are special, things that they really like.
Unfortunately, writers too often think it's a place to plug their own work regardless of whether it's special or not. Every time Pinterest gets flooded with pins from one particular site, they suspect that someone is trying to self-promote rather than use Pinterest for its true purpose, and they react by blocking that site. So it's not Pinterest who made the mistake, it's probably a few over-zealous Hubbers over-promoting themselves that are the culprits!
I suspect this is absolutely what is happening and sadly, those of us who don't over promote and use Pinterest get penalized for those who abuse the system. I'm pretty sure this is why the niche sites were having issues as well.
I am now able to access my Pinterest Account. What a relief!
I was having DNS problem. In fact, they had advised me to configure alternate DNS Servers such as 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 long ago.
I wish I had paid attention to it earlier.
You could try that too.

When our hubs were once chosen, we had a way to see what was supposed to be fixed before it appeared on a niche site. Now I don't see anything like that. It could be me, but there was a way to see what they wanted added or deleted.It's very frustrating. Yesterday I was told my hub on Zeus, the...

I pretty much have the same amount of traffic everyday but last week 5 of my hubs were moved to niche sites and since then I've has less half the traffic as normal. What could cause that?

My total current view count for "1 day" is less than the amount I usually get on a good day for my 2 top performers. I have 85 hubs, 17 on niche sites. Something is not right. Anyone else?

I don't know the name of the person who edited one of my Hubs last week but I just wanted to say to her or him that I am so pleased with what you did to it. You did a great job and the Hub is performing really well as are most of my hubs on the niche site.My thanks to all of you.Sally

I'm updating my Pinterest today.When I pin any hub from ToughNickle.com, I get the following error:"Sorry! We’ve blocked this link because it may need to spam."It used to work. I have hubs from ToughNickle that I pinned in the past, but I can't pin new ones and I can't change the URL to...
