How do I know if I have someone set up as a super neighbor? I don't even know what that is. I am just coming back to the game after being away for awhile.

Hi Memo2014

You have information about Superneighbors in the following thread from our Game Guide:

When you posted about this problem in the Help & Support section, you were answered in the following link:

OK. I checked the super neighbor section of the forum and I don't have anyone on my friends list set up as a super neighbor.

As of today, I am not able to ask for workers for my farms or facilities. Is this happening to others or is is some glitch. Worked fine last night.

Hi goldendreamer

All posting to facebook seems to be broken. We have emailed the developers about this problem.

I just want to post a question, and then see if anyone agrees with me....
If you post that you will do a certain job, you get hired, you do half the job then quit because you don't want to do it anymore....wouldn't that be considered "INCONSIDERATE"?
Here's my point, I hired someone to do a job on my farms that they posted that they wanted to do. They quit right in the middle of the job. My farms are not that hard to do. They said they wanted to do a certain job, so I hired them....then they quit. In a nice tone, (I wasn't angry) I told them not to post that they want to do a certain job and then not complete it. Well I was told that I was rude.....
My whole thing is..."Don't post that you will do a job, then don't complete it"...Don't leave that farmer you're working for in a bind.
Am I right or wrong???
I need to know because I don't want to do anything to be banned for here.

You have to be patient - many people lose their connection with your farm during harvesting, happens to me all the time. And sometimes yes, people will leave, things happen. Phones ring, doorbells ring, parents tell kids they must go to bed right now, etc. etc. If you get upset over this kind of thing, this is not the game for you as this won't ever solve itself, if that makes sense. You can always go to harvesting yourself, that's your only choice around this. Happy farming to ya.....

The problem is if we lose the connection we have no way of letting the farmer know that we didn't intend to leave the job undone unless we can find each other again in the market place and in my experience that rarely happens. I and others have been suggesting for years that we have a way to go back to the farm we were working on should we get booted off but that suggestion it seems has fallen on deaf ears.

I agree. I went to the market place a few hours ago and asked who wanted to do stacked fishing on 11 of my farms. One person replied so I hired her. She did one farm then sent me a note saying she only did one farm because it was too much work and she only has a small blue boat. She had the option of using my larger boat since I always check "allow worker to use my tools." Don't accept a big job if you aren't prepared to see it through.

I understand the frustration. I know things happen. Workers get booted or things happen and you have to stop what you are doing but I have had many workers pick and choose what they will do on my farms once they get there. For instance I ask for someone to harvest and plow crops and harvest and chop trees. They accept and then harvest and plow but then they only harvest one type of tree and chop one type of tree and leave the rest. Then they send a thank you note for the work. In other words they take what they need and leave the rest.
