The spammers have discovered Pinterest

I am now getting spam comments on some of my pins.  Great.

Re: The spammers have discovered Pinterest

  • I've noticed that. There are also spam pins.

    I find myself using it less and less - the more people who join, it seems the less I like it. Just more crap to sift through.

    This. I like it and still use it about once a week, but sorting through a lot of crap is super annoying. Maybe I should follow more stylish people than I do.

  • i don't automatically follow people back who follow me -- sometimes I'll give someone a shot and their pins suck so I'll unfollow.  And yes, I've noticed the spam -- boo.
  • I still log on about once a week but for me Pinterest has become sort of like Facebook.  A what's-the-point-it's-all-the-same-anyway kind of deal.  If the spammers will get a life maybe I'll change my tune.  LOL.
  • I read that they are working on private pinboards. I think that that would help some things. I know some people were having issues with birthday party plans being "stolen" and stuff.

    Definitely.  Why would I follow people who follow me?  They are just going to repin the stuff I already found.  I don't want to log into pinterest and just see all of the stuff I already pinned.  I want to follow people who post new stuff often like the big interior designers who are on pinterest constantly.  Sometimes I follow specific boards of people who follow me but for the most part I don't. 

  • I have to be honest, I haven't been on there as much as before, the novelty has worn off.
