If anyone wants to post 1 or all 3 (Etsy Favathon, Pinterest, Instagram) of the games each day, let us know! The important thing is that the games keep going! We've been trying to maintain Mike's routine of posting around 4pm EST. Thank you for continuing to engage in the team!!!
Message from Mike Kraus via the FB group (Etsy won't let me hyperlink directly to the post, I'm sorry!):
"ART TEAM ALERT!
Etsy has banned me from running the Art Team because of sharing their survey about their glitchy New Listing Form. This means:
-No FAVATHONS/INSTAGRAMaTHONS/PINTERSTaTHON
-No moderation/SPAM removal
-No message/issue replies
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please share this information with other members or theART Team"
Maybe we can keep the group threads going and morale high while Mike works this out. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes posting tomorrow's game thread but I really love this group and the support has been critical over the past few months and I don't want to see it fade away

I only wrote because you wrote "faved to here" and there are actually people who think they just need to "like" these posts or like the pins, not pin them. Sorry then, my bad.
question - the old pinterest game was a 'just pin' game but I see above, it now says we are to fav in the instructions - - that may have just been a copy/paste thing that wasn't caught but are we faving in these pinterest games now, or not? I haven't been.
We are saving pins, but faving them is quick and helpful, so it would be a great idea to fave in addition to saving. Maybe we can make this a new rule and change the games descriptions in the future?
I think I messed up the heading on this game yesterday. I apologize. I'll clarify Pinterest game rules when I post the new thread today. I've always pinned and faved each Pinterest post and think it's a great idea to encourage that in the game because it seems to drastically increase engagement. Open to further thoughts on this! --Mary Beth
