I hosted couchsurfers and it was fun, but i stopped when i started getting detailed reviews about random shit about my home after people left.

Letting people live in your house in the central business district of a top tier city and then having them comment on your towel designs.

It’s not a hotel. I’m so over it.

Reviews in these kind of sites should always be moderated before it reaches the hosts, if not by a moderation team (due lack of fund) then at least other users, e.g. 2 out of 3 other hosts that mark the review as helpful and within the spirit of the website.

In this scenario hosting couch surfers also puts you on the hook as a moderator? I’ll pass.

As much as stackoverflow puts you on the hook as a moderator.
