 * I tried to share a post from my site (dinchamion.com) on Pinterest, but when 
   using the Shareholic plugin Pinterest responded “Sorry! We blocked this link 
   because it may lead to spam.”
 * Using the Chrome plugin it works just fine.

 * Hi [@dinchamion82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinchamion82/).
 * Thanks for letting us know! I used the Pinterest image button on the URL you 
   provided and did not receive the same ‘sorry’ message. Is there a specific image
   on your site that triggers this message?
 * Let me know!
 * Also, iIt appears that this is a known issue with Pinterest. Here’s some information
   that might be helpful:

 * Hey Mary Anne,
 * thanks for the reply!
 * A little more investigation revealed that static images work, but animated gifs
   seem to fail with the above error.
 * It’s not an error in the plugin, but a fairly paranoid behaviour on part of Pinterest
   I assume.
