About three times a month, I'll get "booking requests" from people who don't actually want to stay at my place at all, or don't wish to stay there on the dates they're requesting. They typically want to know where I got a particular furniture piece, if I might want to sell my home, or they're looking for a back door way to reserve dates that aren't available.
I don't mind taking some of these questions, but they're annoying for the fact that I have to respond within 24 hours to avoid being penalized by Airbnb. As my home gets more exposure, the volume of these pings has increased.
I'm not sure anyone at Airbnb with the authority to fix something like this actually reads these conversations, but I don't know where else to take it. Can't you all provide these non-guests/prospective guests another way to communicate with me outside of your reservation system? Or give me a simple button to mark the inquiry as a polite form of spam, and remove the 24 hour stopwatch?
