Transparency in criteria “ guest favorite “

As from end 2023 the selection criterium for guests to look for a highly rated accommodation was changed from Superhost to Guest Favorite.  
the 2 badges are in place and mentioned in the add but in the selection criteria a guest can only choose for guest favorite and as a result this badge is vital for being shown in the search results. 
Whereas the criteria for super host are very clear and transparent shown and explained in the statistics tab , this is not the case for guest favorite. 
the result is that we as hosts are deprived of one of the most essential insights for reaching good searching results and I urge airbnb therefore to finally come up after nearly 2 years with this vital insight in the same way as superhost is being presented in the statistics tab. 
I really hope that a lot of hosts will support my request and that airbnb will take their responsibility to make vital performance criteria transparent to everybody

This is the link introducing all the host advisory board members for 2025. If you create a post in the host circle part of the community center and use @name then they will get a notice they were mentioned in a comment.

Or you could directly message them in the community center under the tab messages (below notifications) and search for their username and send them a direct message. @Helen3 said that she did this for an issue for hosts of false claims being made against hosts before and nobody responded.

I didn't directly contact them I replied on one of the posts created for them by the admins on which they were all named so they would have seen as I linked them into my response like this @Lorina14 😀
