Fix: Sorry You've Hit a Block Pinterest
Did you just pin over 50 Pin’s to a Pinterest board within an hour and receive a message you have hit a limit? Pinterest actually limits the amount of Pin’s you can pin to a board. You may see the following message.
Oops!
Sorry! You’ve hit a block (Pins) we have in place to combat spam. Please try again later.
Wait an hour or so and you should be able to re-pin to the same board again. Let us know if this does not work for you in the comments.

Hey! I just pinned 1 picture today, and it logged me out and blocked me. What is happening? Waited for a bit, still not working. There's no customer service on the website. The Help page won't solve my problem.
"Sorry! You've hit a block (unfollowing) we have in place to combat spam. Please try again later."
I can't unfollow things I don't want to follow? How is unfollowing things spam?
I just logged in this morning for the first time in months. I pinned 2 things and it automatically logged me out, and when I went to sign back in, it gave me the spam block message. 2 pins and I am a spammer?
this is getting very old.....haven't been able to log in for days and getting the same message....
I haven't been able to log into my account for over a month due to this spam block. Why?
Waited over night for the block on bulk pinning to be removed but it's still there. Are there a certain amount of hours required to remove the block?
when are those incompetent eggheads going to correct this! the issue has been around for HOW long now and it STILL isn't solved?!
i am agreeing with Alison, it won't let me get into my account. It pops up with the spam block thing when I hit sign in.
I have the blocked thing going on too. It also said to check my email. I had 11 removals from boards for copyright reasons. Said it wasn't my fault and the pins were removed from ev1's boards. I still can't get on. WTF Pinterest? Too many changes. I'm going to check out "Lookbook that "Some Chick" talked about.
Just got blocked for the first time ever on Pinterest for "following" to many low carb boards. I realize that this is to prevent spam or what not, but it's in very poor taste. With the limitless amounts of technology on the market, there has to be a better way than punishing long term users.
Been a day and still can't pin....this is ridiculous
I am not able to login to my account.. I didnt even pin anything yet..
kindly help
I deactivated my Pinterest account and tried to reactivate but it is showing Sorry! You’ve hit a block (Pins) we have in place to combat spam. Please try again later. It's been 2 weeks i am trying to reactivate my account.
Same situation.Whats ur solution then?
I've been blocked from pinning for the past 12 hours now.I know I pinned a lot on to my boards but this never happened to me before.I really would like the problem fixed as quickly as possible, thank you ?
Hit a block to combat spam. Waited as advised, but i remain blocked. Very
Disapointed.
This is not a good move, Pinterest. I can always leave you for Lookbook.
My username on pinterest is: A M B E R ? . And I waited an entire hour to pin more. It said the exact words above with that problem! I use to be able to pin A LOT of pins per day, but now what gives!? Pinterest is my FAVORITE thing in the ENTIRE world. But now i'm not so sure...
Same here. I've been 500 pins in a day, today 150 and Pinterest says I've hit the block. What gives?
I have only pinned 11 times today and it pops up. I have tried to refresh page several times but this message 'Sorry, you've hit a block' still pops up. This has never happened while I have been pinning on boards in the past, and I have pinned a lot in my time on my Pinterest.
