Hello,
I am writing to ask for the restoration of my profile which has been deleted due, I think, to a misunderstanding.
My name is Fiona Graham and I host both woofers and couchserfers. I think my profile has been deleted because CS administrators thought I was asking couchsurfers to work in exchange of housing, which I am not.
In fact, couchsurfers are not asked to work but are given the option to do some woofing if they choose to stay for several months…
I have had about 100 couchsurfers in 2 years and have lost all their references. Several couchsurfers are supposed to come in the coming weeks but are unable to contact me. I insist on the fact that the couchsurfers who are only staying a few days do not provide any work in exchange.
If you could deal with this urgent mater as soon as possible, it would be great.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,
Fiona Graham
What was your motivation for publishing this letter here, on OpenCouchSurfing? Have you read much of this web site? There isn’t, as far as I know, anyone associated with OpenCS that has the ability to grant your request. This is a campaign web site of sorts, it’s not authorised or endorsed by CouchSurfing International Inc. I recommend you put your request to them instead.
On the other hand, if you want to publicise how CouchSurfing has treated you, this might be the very place. I’d personally be interested to know the circumstances of your account’s deletion. Were you notified in advance? Was there any discussion? Or were you simply not able to log in one day?
No surprise there at all. It seems the MDST Team have a hidden agenda to delete or encourage negative references against anyone who threatens their powerbase by gaining too many references. There are numerous examples of Couchsurfers with 100+ references who had their profiles deleted for no apparent reason. On the other hand, they do not seem to act as nearly as quickly against those who are actual dangers to other couchsurfers but who do not have the same high profile – How long did it take them to delete the profile of the Couchsurfer in England convicted of raping his surfer again?
