Sorry to hear that Sally. I didnt think to message the requester with a simple reply in the text box asking them to withdraw their request. The decline button being frozen distracted me and led me away a bit.
The 'help' person was adamant that there was no plot to thwart a host excercising free will, told me i was 'outside of reality' for suggesting it in fact. Yet the little 'are you sure ?' box has appeared out of nowhere in evident contradiction. I would guess, if was a cynic , that they have been experimenting with the site to experiment with ways to force our rents down to suck up more commissions on bookings and cripple comptetition from other platforms. Of which there are now many. A race to the bottom.
Some geek perhaps forgot to delete a few strands of the experiment and suddenly hosts have lost some more control.
I also cut my calendar short, from a rolling next 12 months version to a next three months version so that only this year was involved. Doesnt make any sense why they refuse to have a simple 2018, 2019, 2020 etc calendar available. And damnright rude for them to fill in my next years prices with their own figures, ie peanuts, without my consent. Without the stupid rates being touted i wont get people trying to request bookings i have to decline , and get hidden from searches as a penalty.
Good luck out there!
