Please, re-enable our ability to have the checkbox sync to Air B&B. We're losing business to our competitors who are allowing parties and are able to have that show on the site. With the increase in available rentals and decrease in travel, even our competition who were adamantly against events are allowing them now. We need to be able to compete on an even footing.
Thank you,
Ryan
We reached out to our Airbnb contacts over the holidays, and they have confirmed that all parties and events are still officially banned:

As long as this remains official policy, we can't remove our Airbnb block on the events checkbox, because if you checked it and we sent that to Airbnb, your property would be automatically delisted.
I can't speak to how other competitors are handling that with Airbnb, I would imagine that if they are openly stating on their Airbnb listing that they allow parties, that would be a violation of Airbnb policies that would need to be enforced by Airbnb.
Note that it is perfectly possible for you to use OwnerRez to offer party and event services on channels other than Airbnb, while still having your property listed on Airbnb without allowing parties there.
