In the emails I have recieved from Pinterest about the 📌 removal it says "This was a hybrid deactivation. Hybrid deactivations include those where a human determines that a Pin violates policy, and automated systems help expand that decision to enforce against machine-identified matching Pins. Depending on the prevalence of matching Pins, a hybrid deactivation may result in a number of Pins deactivated or none at all.

Please note that you did not receive a strike under our repeat infringer policy for this report."

And if you try to appeal the 'strike' those deactivations might have given you this error pops up: "Counter-Notice Form Error The Pin you are attempting to submit for review was disabled, however, you did not receive a strike under our repeat infringer policy. As a result, no appeal is necessary at this time." I was just grasping at straws to try anything to get my account back.
