Why I Hate Pinterest

I have just had to - for the eighth time in six months - change my Pinterest password.

Yes, Pinterest is a very useful tool that can help keep track of interesting things I find on the internet, but the hassle isn't worth the benefit. After I changed the password - yet again - I went to their Help Center to try to find out why they had put my account in "safe mode". Did the Help Center help me figure that out? Not in the least. And then they made the mistake of taking me to a survey page to ask me if their Help Center was "helpful".

My comment: No.

Their response: Please explain.

I still don't know why my account was in safe mode, and why I had to change my password (yet again) - a list that is ever-growing and includes more than 600 sites and you're making me change one (yet again) for a reason I still don't understand.  You say there was "suspicious activity". Perhaps it was that I was finally using your site - something I don't do often because I am a very busy woman who has little time to spend browsing makeup techniques and party favor ideas, let alone have time to think up yet another new password. Maybe it was because I log in from several locations - again, not uncommon for someone who spends 6 days a week in hotel rooms all over the country - and something very usual for my account. Maybe it was because you were bored and felt like pissing off another user. It certainly wasn't because there "suspicious activity" because there are no pins I did not put there, no pornographic or offense images, and no pins to categories I don't already use or inconsistent with things already on my boards.

The next time you put my account in safe mode, I'm canceling my account.
