The reports and violations center is a central place for you to see updates on content—such as Pins, boards, or accounts—that you've reported, and content restrictions based on our policies or local law associated with your account. If you believe we've made a mistake in processing your report, or mistakenly taken action on your account, you can appeal the decision within six months.
