Thats funny Schnits Right there @Inna22 yet also a bit disappointing, 3 years seems crazy to answer such a simple question ! It seems like something that could and should be easily answered but nobody is gonna spend 3 days trying to get a silly little question answered by the CS line when we have real world things that that 3 hours or 3 days is better put to! The truth be known, only Inn Keepers know what inn Keepers know and if your not looking at the listings, accounting and 100 other widgets that seem to change daily directly from our POV, you probably can't actually understand the silliness, frustration and aggravation many of the things Airbnb Systems developers and programmers thought would be useful features that hamstring, choke us out and hogtie instead of help make our day better.
One of the weaknesses I can't help but note here on the CC message board s possibly having experienced Airbnb hosts as paid CC Gate Keeper team members to see call someone direct and say "Hey Pat, WTF is this widget for ?" then get and share the answer ASAP or have it removed post haste. Perhaps the new host advisory board members can assist in those things and bring together host community questions and concerns large and small at the table for discussion and re consideration. My sense is, due to the fact they are highly accomplished hospitality hosts, they actually have day and night jobs that pay their bills and this could eat up way too much of that time unpaid therefore go unaddressed. BTW, I would not ever be part of the new board unless it was a paid position, businesses usually get what they pay for more often than not, if Airbnb pays them nothing, they should have about those same expectations of what they can be expected tp produce. That's the harsh reality of how this works for most of us that do this primarily to make money. If we were rich, we probably wouldn't work 14 hour days or be letting strangers stay in our homes, just sayin.
Don't get me wrong, @Lizzie 's Angels are the best at running this board and often directly intervene on behalf of hosts here that are having challenges that deserve some urgency and care in attention by the CS shop. Community manages actually have jobs that are rightfully less focused on the intricacies of hosting and more directed at keeping our virtual Nation from exploding, imploding, dagger and grenade throwing, removal of vulgarity and disrespect in 6 languages, becoming boring, being too exciting and lots of other social network thingies. We certainly need them to keep that up more than trying to fix the multitude of things that don't make sense or don't work at the mothership (all while trying to have a non work life as well). Im sure a company that just had as great a rollout IPO as Airbnb could afford to pay for hosting technical support to assist here on the CC, What say you all? JR
