This is for anyone searching for Pinterest posts
After losing the apeal (I don't think they actuallyeven look at your site) I gave up because I didn't think there was a way back.
However, I read this post:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/social-engagement-marketing/my-pinterest-account-got-suspended
and Bushra posted this link:
https://seekingserotonin.com/pinterest-suspension/
and I followed the instructions and BAM! in less than a day my accoount was reinstated. I got the 'sometimes good accounts get swept up with the bad message'.
If you're in the same boat, give it a try!
Blimey! I've been suspended by Pinterest for spamming!!!!

"We wanted to let you know we suspended your Pinterest account because of some activity we believe goes against our spam policies.
On Pinterest, spam includes saving lots of unwanted or repetitive stuff, trying to game our systems, or posting fraudulent, deceptive or unsolicited commercial messages. We block spam like this because it creates a bad experience for other people on Pinterest."
Which is fair enough but I ain't been doing none of it!
I post ONE pin per day from my blog and schedule other people's pins via Tailwind.
That's it!
I Follow all my Followers back and Follow new people as Pinterest allows a couple of times a day.
I have, of course, hit the APPEAlink they so kindly included.
Anyone else had this problem? Do you know why? What happened?

UPDATE:
"We decided not to reactivate your account because most of your Pins go againstour spam policy. You won't be able to access your Pins or messages, or sign up for a new account."
I have read and re-read their spam policy and simply cannot see how anyone could regard my pins as spam.
I have replied to the email asking for and explanation but don't expect one.
