News on Pinterest Marketing, according to Pinterest : Getting rid of spam on Pinterest is an ongoing process. That is why we, at Pinterest, have created a dedicated spam team that has been hard at work investigating reports and building systems that detect, remove and prevent spam. Starting today, we will be removing a number of suspicious, fake or spammy accounts that our team have discovered over the past few months.
By removing these accounts for good, it will ensure that followers are real people who are interested in what you share and likewise helps protect the integrity of Pinterest. It will also mean that some of these spam followers may be removed from your follower counts where for more than 99% of accounts, it will be a loss of less than 10 followers. However, a relatively small number of legitimate accounts are being followed by most of these bad accounts.
Pinterest is using everything it has learned from these spam accounts to apply new measures that will help keep bad accounts from being created in the first place.
Informing us whenever you see something suspicious or fake accounts is a vital part of our spam fighting strategy. Thank you for using our blocking and reporting features and we will make sure that our fight against spam will continue.
