Hi @breezylake,
A number of members have asked for a solution to HOs not responding to sitter applications in a timely way. See the thread link below that has 308 entries.
I’m sure there are other threads as this has been an ongoing issue. While I agree something was needed to put a rocket under some HOs I don’t agree with the limit of 5 applications then a pause. I like the idea of a limit of 10 applications or 24 hours and then a pause. But as you say it is a sledgehammer solution that needs to be tweaked to address particular HOs not all of them.
The moral to this story is be careful what we wish for/complain about.
