If you have an active Pinterest account that gets a good number of direct messages, you may have noticed that whenever you get a message from someone you are not following that is also messaging you for the first time, Pinterest will give you the option to accept the message or decline it.

“Accept” in this case means that you want to have a conversation with the messenger and “Decline” means you do not want to exchange texts with the messenger; but what happens when you click on “Decline” or “Remove” on a message on Pinterest, where does it go, does the messenger gets notified?
