Hi @A30
“BBBB” = Bring Back the Block Button.
( @Casita-By-The-Texas-Bay0 , @Thomas1033 , @Sarah977)
As @Christine615 said, there use to be a simple button that we could use to block a guest.
Visible on the same page as where we can report a guest. I know because I’ve successfully used it in the past.......
But alas, sometimes @Airbnb3 chooses to change or remove something good, that is working!
As @Ute stated: a host uses this button usually with heavy thought and with a deliberated decision. Gosh, I even unblocked someone after I though about it because I felt bad, then I reblocked them when I remembered... I reviewed them low, for other hosts, then decided it was the correct decision to block them again. Why? Because we were a very poor match and it was never going to be a win or joyful experience for either of us, if they returned! I cried when they left the first time..... so don’t need that again. The button avoids stupid conversations and petty debating
Let the host decide who is best for their home or homestay. The guests have a report button to access, but hosts DO NEED a second layer of protection. I liked the idea of blocking the IP address as well, as mentioned by Noel, unless it is the only family computer. It would penalise others who may not be bad guests creating an account. However, if the same person is rebooking under false or recreated account, then there should be penalties.
