Be careful here — I maintained several active boards with quite a few followers, but was flagged for "inappropriate images" which Pinterest mods themselves deleted.

In the main, I'd only ever pinned images I found on the site itself, so I thought "why pick on me, I'm not the one who originally pinned it?"

But I didn't go though my stuff and look for any other TOS violating images (I really didn't think I had any) and then I was perm-banned. You have no recourse once that happens.

Caveat emptor — its puritanical standards are likely to bite anyone who plays outside the recipes and sewing categories into anything interesting in the art and photography domains.

Screw you, Pinterest.
