Been Banned from the "official" AirBnB "community"

My name is Mike, I have just been banned from the “community” over on AirBnB.

You can see my listing at: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/7292887

I was banned because I am – according to the admin. there – “Blunt and Sarcastic”.

Hopefully this forum is a little more open minded and closer to a free speech forum. Time will tell.

Welcome, Mike! What do feel like being blunt and sarcastic about today? Let’s take it out for a spin.

Lol. I don’t participate in that forum, and maybe some other community members reported you if you pissed them off.

This forum is pretty laid back for the most part. I am certainly not prim and proper, and try to be keep my cussing to a decent amount. In other forums I let my true sailor mouth fly…lol.

The official “community” is very stodgy, repetitive, and annoying after about 2 days of reading it. I started to add some fun into the forum and the admin. “Lizzie” wrote me and told me to stop. I told her that at some point I was going to go over the bounds of what she thought was acceptable … And that she should probably ban me then and there… But she let me continue … Until she found out that I am “blunt and sarcastic” according to her. That my messages would “damage” the forum. Shrug. So I was banned today.

So here I am… About to play in this forum… And we will see how it goes. I don’t think I was that “damaging to the forum” anyway… Just some fun and some goofing around.

Just a heads up. You should probably stop spamming your listing on every post.

Why is that? If someone wants to see my listing, why not let them? It is just info that some people would like to see/know.

Well for one thing, it can sometimes cause an automatic flag when there is a URL included.

There is a way to link your new profile here with your listing number if you so desire. There are some of us here who wish to remain anonymous and that is okay too.

Well it seems to be acceptable if I put quotes around it so that it is not an official “Link”… It just becomes text.

If someone wanted to see the listing they would have to copy and past it into a browser window. That seems to be ok with the “system”.

Right?

I know it get’s to be a little annoying, lol. You can always put your link in your profile so that it’s not repeated every time you post.

I agree with @Sarah_Warren. Put it in your profile. People can see it there.

There’s a difference between free speech and spamming a link.

Can you give an example? Like what got you booted from the official forums?

Oh please. It’s a simple request. Easy. You seem argumentative. Sorry you feel like you have to leave but if several of us have already mentioned it politely and you don’t take the hint, and… well there’s the door.

Well that was short lived and a little boring to be honest. If you’re going to go out at least do it in a blaze of glory.

Well, he got a couple clicks on his treehouse. Maybe he moved up in search.
