Like most folks, I would love to share my pictures on Pinterest with as many other like-minded folks as possible.
Like most folks, I would love to share my pictures on Pinterest with as many other like-minded folks as possible.
However, just as the shine on Facebook and Twitter has been
dulled by sketchy folks wanting to stalk, phish, and spam my account; the same nefarious
elements in society appear to be stalking unsuspecting Pinterest accounts.
Sort of messes-up the whole user experience.
Gee, I guess this is a human story – however, it is not a
story of which I have the time or the interest, no pun intended, to spend on it
right now.
I mean, where do you begin when writing a story as to why
sketchy people are sketchy?
To the credit of Twitter and Facebook, they have made it
easy to block folks from stalking, err, um following you…
I just got a follower on Pinterest that seems to follow the
same pattern from Facebook… Attractive, but looks shallow and sketchy… Likes
children and puppies and as soon as they are able; they are spamming your
account with unsolicited and unwanted marketing materials… Some of which may be
considered unpleasant.
So, I Googled, how to block folks on Pinterest – “is there a
