Title: After years of living a semi-nomadic lifestyle and spending many thousands of dollars on the platform, it has finally happened to me: I got the dreadful &quot;We&#x27;ll be unable to support your account moving forward&quot; email.<p>In my case, I was banned &quot;because information on your reservation or your account may be associated with a pattern of activity linked to property damage&quot;.<p>When and where did that supposed property damage take place? No answer.<p>I assume I must have been wrongfully flagged by an ML model or something similar.<p>Unfortunately, traveling without Airbnb is hard, as they have by far the largest portfolio of vacation rentals.<p>I&#x27;m reaching out to Hacker News because it seems like this topic has been discussed here before (for example https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17523056).<p>Any information helps.<p>My attempts at contacting someone at Airbnb that isn&#x27;t just a call center agent reading a script have so far been unsuccessful.<p>If you work at Airbnb and you&#x27;re reading this, let me make you the following offer: You look into the supposed &quot;property damage&quot; and figure out what actually went on. Then:
- If it turns out I didn&#x27;t actually damage any property: You unban me
- If it turns out I did (I must be suffering from amnesia): I pay for the damage, plus a crisp USD 1000 for you personally, and you don&#x27;t even have to unban me<p>I hope the format of this is correct, I have read Hacker News for a long time but never submitted anything.
