No, I understood completely what you said, I simply informed you that my post contained nothing in your list of reasons that a post might be removed. I therefore accept this may have been due to a software glitch and I'm sure your moderators are a "good bunch".
I do appreciate the fact you respond quickly to posts, unlike Airbnb customer services who ignored multiple messages over the course of several weeks and when I eventually spoke to a representative, they were unable to help despite agreeing with my reasoning.
It is extremely annoying to be forced to cancel 14 booking taken through Airbnb and re-let the dates though Vrbo and TripAdvisor. Airbnb may not care about their reputation but we certainly care about ours.
I am not the only one that has concerns over security and it appears thousands of hosts and guests are not prepared to upload government ID to Airbnb's server. If Airbnb wish to implement this for new new members that's fine, they have the choice to join or not. Applying it retrospectively to hosts that have been a member for many years with forward booking already taken is unnecessary; "Pausing payouts" is basically blackmailing us to comply!
Clearly this is an issue for the management to address as CS were unable to help, perhaps you may have better luck than I.
Kind regards
