RESOLVED: Pinterest temporarily blocked HubPages

   Looks like there are no hubs on Pinterest (I noticed no Pinterest traffic today and had to investigate.)
   
   Hubs are no longer pinnable.
   
   I wish hubbers wouldn't spam social networks. :\

               I seldom pin. One of my hubs gets pinned like crazy, but not by hubbers (that I know of.) I just noticed mine were gone so I check the hp domain and it looked like theirs were gone. Tried to pin a hub to see what would happen and no dice.

               Hi Wilderness, I just had a look at your Pinterest to clarify and can't see any from Hubpages on there. I assume you had some? I think that your browser might be storing an old cached page. If you delete history, then you can see that hubpages pins are missing (if you had any). I deleted my history today for some other item and that's why I was able to see the missing pins so quickly.
               
               I think it is a sitewide block, not individual subdomains....

                  You are correct.  I didn't bother to open the boards, just looked at the thumbnails and assumed there were pins behind them.  There are not.
                  
                  Unfortunately, when this happened before all the pins that disappeared were not restored.  Everything started from scratch.
                  
                  If it goes that way again, I will not be pinning any hubs.  While I get some traffic from them, it isn't a whole lot and not worth the effort to continually fix their errors.

               It looked like mine were there but when I clicked on them, it shows they aren't there.  I hate that.  I only sometimes pin if it is a pinterest worthy topic but it seems really weird that this would happen.  Has it happened before and do the usually get restored?

      Try clearing history in your browser and see if you can still see the old hub pins.....that will clarify if it is sitewide or just certain subdomains. I'm getting the feeling that this is sitewide though, as I went to a few trusty subdomains who take extra care and theirs were missing too.

      Suzanne Dayposted 10 years agoin reply to this

      Maybe a solution for HP is to restrict pinning to x amount per day or month? I believe it would reduce the ultra spam thing that Pinterest seems to be against. But possibly, there are other reasons for the blockage....we don't know as no reasons are given when trying to pin, when apparently this happened last time, the reason given was spam.
      
      I have to say that traffic hasn't suffered much....yet. However less people seeing hubs will eventually mean less traffic overall, than what could have been gained.

   It happened before and it was due to hubbers over-pinning their own stuff.
   
   Maybe HubPages could make it so that logged in users can't see the social share buttons so users are less likely to engage in spammy techniques. Not that all hubbers who pin, tweet, fb their own stuff are spammers, but man there are some who go overboard and tweet ONLY hub links (and all their hubs) or pin ONLY hubs and ruin it for the rest of us.

      Yeah, it's true that the second time around Pinterest might have less patience for HP. I'm thinking that for everyone who hasn't read or doesn't know the "invisible rules" of not spamming, it might be better to restrict pins per month so that everyone has to do it.
      
      I, for example, did not know that promoting your own stuff was an issue, even in abundance (though I did pin lots of others besides myself, didn't know it was a 10:1 ratio until an hour ago). I should have known. But no one told me, until I researched it. Restricting pins would fix this for anyone like myself who did not know the rules.
      
      HP team, take note of suggestions, they might come in handy!!!

    Thanks for the heads up, melbel, I wasn't aware of any rules either, Suzanne Day. I just pinned my latest hub yesterday, I think. I really never understood it but have been using it and getting pinned by others for the last 6 months or so. I might pin twice a month or less, not very active on the site at all. What's the 10:1 ratio? For every 10 pins only one should be your own? Hmm. I can see why they would limit HP.

    Until this is sorted out with HP, there might be a way around it.
    What I did was open one of my made-for-Pinterest images and copy the image URL.
    I pasted that URL into my new pin on Pinterest, and the pin then shows just the image.
    In the comments/caption section beneath the image, I said a short blurb about it and then posted a link to the actual article.
    When you click on the link, it takes you to the Hub page.

    If my memory, ha,ha, serves me right, the same thing happened about a year ago.  I think the reason was so many Hubbers were pinning their own stuff (spamming), so Pinterest stopped allowing us to Pin.  That lasted for a short time, then we were once again allowed to Pin.  Maybe this will be temporary.

          Luis - this happened once before, and was also resolved at that time. I think we have numerous people who overload Pinterest with hubs and aren't real active in sharing other interesting things. So, we all end up suffering.

             I agree that we all end up suffering because of a handful of people. I also agree that the communication on this issue needs to be better on both sides.

             That'ts what I thought. I for example, pin articles for others at a ratio of 10:1 in their favor so I do not appear as abusing it.

                I also wish they would tell us if this is why HP was blocked this time. If it was caused by people abusing Pinterest, the abusers will never stop if they don't know what they did to cause the block. I wonder if there was some other issue this time.

    Thanks, Paul. I would imagine the Pinterest people noticed a huge difference in their stats once all the pinned hubs (and repinned hubs) were removed. Seems to me that hubbers pinning is mutually advantageous for both hp and p.
    
    So, here's a couple of questions.
    
    1)  When I pin hubs from other pinners, is that considered to be 'my' content because we're all from hp?
    
    2)  Do you think that EC hubs might have caused the problem because so many hubs no longer have subdomain references - making hp look spammy?
    
    My biggest problem comes from living off the grid with satellite internet. There's no way I can open and read countless pages looking for other nice pinnable pics to make the 10:1 ratio without pinning from hubs that catch my eye. Would be nice to have some clarification. Thanks.

       Actually that raises another issue. When hubs were shifted from subs to EC the link URL would have changed. Does that mean that images posted to Pinterest BEFORE the shift to EC will not have broken links? Perhaps there is some redirection tool in place that resolves this??? I would am keen to get this confirmed.
       PS when I built a URL using the sub it redirected to the EC one, so perhaps this is not an issue??????

          Hi janderson99. When my hubs changed to EC, the pin links remained fine. When I decided to drop EC, my pins reverted back to my subdomain address.
          
          I don't know what would happen if it was EC before being pinned for the first time.

             It would make no difference. There is a re-drect either way.
             
             Whether or not your hubs are EC, you can still get to them by entering either hubpages.com/hub/exact-hub-url or by username.hubpages.com/hub/exact-hub-url.

    However, I cruised Pinterest a bit today and noticed pins from other sites were missing on my boards too. So the blockage/error obviously happened to quite a few websites.

    When I pinned this morning, I noticed that they had added the G+ button. There was probably a delay because of that.
