FlexOffers Legitimate Affiliate Links Being Blocked as 'Possible Spam'

I had discovered this issue last year but I submitted support tickets to both Pinterest and FlexOffers and at least for a time the issue was resolved.

Fast forward to this morning and I have discovered that Pinterest is blocking my FlexOffers affiliate links again, flagging them as "possible spam" [see attached screenshot of what pops up after clicking the outbound link] and this can differ when you click the image in the pin versus the link URL that appears elsewhere in a published pin. 

I have submitted new support tickets this morning to both Pinterest and FlexOffers -- 

If anyone else is having this issue perhaps if we band together we can get Pinterest to update their code / tech. that's blocking legitimate outbound links (affiliate links).  If you're having this issue reply to this 'conversation' and be specific and thoughtful in your sharing here so perhaps we can get this resolved once and for all.

As we all (likely) know Pinterest's idea of support is lacking, to put it mildly.

Thank you.
