I mentioned the Pinterest issue on my local board, and today our mod posted this note from Bump Kathleen. I didn't see mention of it here, so I figured I would cross-post. Not sure if this makes anyone feel better, but just in case, I wanted to share. I'd hate to see everyone shift to an off-board!
"Update from Bump Kathleen:
Because some of our users were upset about their photos being pinned from the message boards, moving forward we will not be pinning community photos from users who we have not received permission from first. Our intention was never to reveal users' personal information, but to promote the boards and help them grow.
If any users have questions about this, please ask them to email me at feedback@thenest.com."
Re: TN on Pinterest: Note from Bump Kathleen
You're welcome!
And oops, sorry, I didn't see that this was already posted. I didn't look hard enough. Sorry for the redundancy!
