Ad Posting "URGH"

I completely get the 1 provider ad and 1 weekly ad per week, totally understand. What I don't understand is why your provider ad has to be one every 7 days. I am not a 24/7 Hooker LOL. My availability is extremely limited (maybe 1-2 days a week and I must stress maybe) and there I times I go weeks without posting an ad. When I can get a chance to come out and play the days are never the same. One week I can wk on Friday the next week I can only wk on Tuesday. My issue is if I post on ad on Thursday for Friday I can't post another ad till the next Thursday. So that means if my available day for the next week happens to fall on Tuesday nobody will know about it because I can't post an ad. That means my only day I am available I will be at home playing with myself LOL. (Like today since my ad was removed) Mods can you please discuss this issue at you next employee meeting ( LOL do you have those)
I propose the rule should be changed to 1 ad posting per 7 day week (any day as long as it's once) and 1 weekend ad. This makes way more sense.

Thanks,
XXXOOO

In the meantime while they are pondering your request, you can always just post a GENERAL timeline of availability. For example, say something like the following:

Normally when I'm working it's:
Monday-Wednesday: noon-6pm
Thursday: 8am-9pm
Friday-Sunday: noon-midnight

Those are the hours I generally am available on those days,
but PLEASE contact me for current availability the day of your choice
by phone, PM, or email and I will let you know what's available.

You can also try maybe 3 other things:
1). Get a calendar on a web site that you can update DAILY. Mention in your ads for them to CHECK YOUR Current Availability on your WEB SITE CALENDAR (and perhaps provide a direct link to that)
or
2). Update your DAILY availability on your SHOWCASE every morning. It might seem like a hassle at first, but it will soon become routine and easy. Mention in your ads to LOOK AT YOUR SHOWCASE BIOGRAPHY for Current Daily Availability.
or
3). Put your DAILY availability in your SIGNATURE LINE.

I think the time restriction is so providers don't keep pushing their ads to the top, and I get that, but why not let the providers ads page be updatable without a time limit?? If we can have 15 minutes or whatever it is to update our posts, why can't that limit just be removed entirely for provider ads?
