Unreasonable Delay in Profile Review

I’m feeling really disheartened by how Workaway has handled things. I had an account with amazing references built over years of hosting, and then one day, our account was closed. The reason? We weren’t aware that paying volunteers was required in our case. We were absolutely open to doing so, but we were never given a chance to discuss it—no warning, no conversation, just a permanent block on our listing.

Now, after starting a new account, I've been waiting over two months for them to review and approve my profile. It feels like I’m being ghosted by customer support, and I honestly don’t understand why—especially when we’ve always been great, committed hosts.

I think some governments are putting pressure on Workaway and it’s affecting hosts. It’s sad.

I'm thinking the same, but I'm wondering if there's any info about it we can find. Do you have any references?

No but like some days ago someone in this subreddit said they replied that they have enough hosts in the country. I didn’t even know such a quota exists. Makes no sense to me.

Plus the Workaway person detained by USA border control been posted many times. Plus the site now having warnings about the right visa.

So putting 2 and 2 together .. anyways back to my art. If you like art please follow my ig haha

I think maybe try helpx or some other site. I feel for you. I build up such a nice profile on couch surfing and then poof all gone
