Approve or decline when guest wants low-ball discount?

I never do discounts, yet I keep getting these inquiries from guests making low-ball offers. I don't want to hurt my Superhost status. So what should I do when guests make unreasonable booking requests? Just send them a message and NOT choose approve OR disapprove? Or should I approve but with a message stating that they are only approved for the full normal price?

I might go insane if I did this for more than about 150 nights per year! And actually my guest suite is not insulated well. I would have to run the central heat constantly. Plus, once the summer season ends, things die down around here. So I have strong incentive to not go over 120 nights. I'm just not gonna do much more.

@Pete69 Inquiries only require that you respond. You do NOT have to accept or decline. Ignore the Interface which indicates otherwise. Respond quickly, and you will retain your SuperHost status.

Why would you lose your super host status?
