The term “punk”, to me anyway, means slightly arrogant, smart ass types who think they know it all but of course don’t. They drive aggressively and have zero concern about anyone else but themselves. My vegan chef guy was actually very polite, but on the road to the reality of the real world where it’s not so easy to get by.
@kasage00, what happened with your zone enforcement troubles?
So far there’s no updates…at least not that I’ve been told. I’ve been away from home for the last 2 weeks. I’ve had airbnb guests at my home during this time and they haven’t reported anything. I’m sure if another note was left, they would tell me. But neither my guests, cleaning staff, or pet sitter reported anything to me, and they’re all at the house often, during the day.

Yes, that would fit. But I also saw “criminal, thug, arrogant” as part of the definition; and as I mentioned, this guy was actually very pleasant. Just annoying 
We’ve had Superhost status for some time now. Guests have told us that it’s why they booked. I think it does set up an expectation that it will be a good experience, and in a way that’s a good thing because you often get what you expect. So my guess is if they arrive and everything is as described, and you’re a Superhost because your previous guests have enjoyed their stays, everything will be fine.
If you subbed high school, you’d encounter one or two, maybe more, in almost every class!

I think the Superhost tag is a great example of why all online businesses such as Airbnb should not be counted on for sustained income. It is not the reasons behind why Airbnb does what it does but the fact that they are the gatekeepers to the customers and their rules for access to those customers cannot be controlled by you. This makes counting on the extra income from Superhost status a poor business proposition at best. True having or not having Superhost status might not impact your bottom line all that much, but if it does why pretend that the rules for getting it make sense. It is so easy the get caught up in the artificial status sites like Airbnb create to control people’s behavior. The important questions we should be concern about are “are my guests happy with there stay?”, and “did I do everything I could to meet and exceed their expectations?”, not “do my guests understand that 5 star means acceptable and anything less is the same as 1 star?”.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Bravo. Super host in Oz. 7th consecutive time.
Also I see people with 12 reviews getting super host status. Totally dissipates its purpose.
