Guest whatdidshesay Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hi,I’m wondering what’s the appropriate way to handle messages from people asking for positive reviews, and not offering a gig.For example, I received a message from someone who said they were new to Fiverr and wanted to do a “like-for-like” with me. Obviously I don’t want to do this as it’s against the rules and a waste of time, but if I report and ignore the message my response time goes up? I don’t want to reply because I don’t want to have to waste my time explaining the rules to people who don’t care about them.Do sellers ignore the messages and risk having a longer response time?Or reply and waste our time?Sorry if this isn’t the right place or has been asked before, I’m pretty new.

enunciator Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 If you are concerned about your response time possibly going up by flagging these fraud messengers, then simply message to them “Not interested” and then flag them.Be careful if you are initially responding to an old message that is already in your spam folder. Unmarking the old message as spam to reply to it can suddenly be considered an overdue response and might hurt your stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mad_duck Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Say something along the lines of “people like you who don’t read the ToS are the reason the back of the soap bottle has instructions” and then block them and flag them.I’m not as nice as some people… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melanielm Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I have a Quick Response that basically says, “This is against Fiverr’s TOS. It has been reported.” Clicking that one button is quite simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
