Do you mean the entry in the menu?
Edit: If so, try editing its menu entry, but just make the icon entry blank, as in
Icon=

Rox pinboard does not offer a "text-only" option for pinboard icons.
As you may have already discovered, rox does, however, provide that option for icon objects displayed within the rox panel. You could (and I personally do) adopt the habit of dragging items to the panel, never (or only rarely) to the pinboard. In light of prior antix.freeforums.org discussions, I guess you're aware that you can launch multiple concurrent roxpanels (top+botomm+left+right) and that you can use the DesktopMenu item "Toggle RoxPanel on/off" to toggle visibility of the default roxpanel ~~ independent of whether or not the rox pinboard is running.
As an alternative, you can check out the prior MX forum topics discussing "mystuff" desktop widget. It provides a desktop-resident DnD droptarget and provides options enabling you to set any given item to display as "text only" (and/or displayed using a colorized, bolded textlabel)
A further alternative would be to investigate whether some other (spacefm, pcmanfm) "desktop icon manager" does provide a no-images option. If you find one that does (I'd be interested to hear), use that instead of rox to manage your desktop.
If you're suitably motivated, you might perform a custom DIY rox build to achieve the desired no-images behavior.
Edit the draw_icon() function within pinboard.c, and supply a hardcoded value 1 for the "iwidth" and "iheight" variables... then rebuild, intall, and test.
After the change, you should specifically investigate (test):
if a desktop-resident icon item is expected to bear an "emblem" (e.g. a dragged symlink, vs a dragged dir or .desktop file), is the emblem correctly displayed?
please consider editing your post#1, and supply a more descriptive title, like:
