@Sarah60, Hi Sarah, The tips from Jeet about having a statement in your rules regarding internet and piracy are important. Keep in mind that people sometimes breach copywrite inadvertently, others will go elsewhere to download things they don't want to have recorded on their personal accounts. These possibilities will need to be anticipated and managed by the host. Before billing a guest be absolutely certain it was them and not someone else in your building or neighbourhood who had the capacity to breach your net security or log on to your LAN.WiFi.
It's certainly good when we can discuss things online in an open forum, without revealing too much about individual guests. Especially with a few extra identifying comments popping in; it can be easy to look though someone's guestlist reviews and then shortlist which guests may be the topic of a conversation, and perhaps we don't want to be doing that.
The issue here is breach of copywrite and perhaps the nature of the actual internet material can remain private. Guest privacy is an important part of hosting.
As an aside, [I checked your profile, as I always do background checks] and I note that you gave a good review to one of your guests regarding cleanliness, then later appear to have described how they left parts of your home soiled and untidy in response to their online public review. Perhaps try to find a a more comfortable way to balance honesty with courage, discretion and respect, as other members of the community are relying on your reviews. They require careful scripting but I am sure that you will develop more confidence with them over time.
Welcome to hosting, it is mostly good!
Sincere regards, Christine.
