Pin Etiquette
Pinterest is special because of the people who use it.
The guidelines below are based on collective input from people using Pinterest. These are suggestions to help keep the community positive and to ensure that every pin is useful to other people.
Be Respectful- Pinterest is a community of people. Individual tastes are personal, but please be respectful in your comments and conversations.
Be Authentic- Pinterest is an expression of who you are. Being authentic to who you are is more important than getting lots of followers. Being authentic will make Pinterest a better place long-term.
Credit Your Sources- Pins are the most useful when they have links back to the original source. If you notice that a pin is not sourced correctly, leave a comment so the original pinner can update the source. Finding the original source is always preferable to a secondary source such as Image Search or a blog entry.
Report Objectionable Content- Nudity, hateful content, or content that encourages people to hurt themselves is not allowed. If you find content that violates the Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy you can submit the content for review by pushing the ”Report Content“ link.
Tell Pinterest How to Make it Better- Pinterest is just getting started, so there are going to be bumps here and there. Let them know what's working, what's not. Even though they don't always have time to respond to each and every email, they take your input seriously. You can get in touch with them anytime at http://support.pinterest.com.
