May I talk about other marketplaces here?

[rabiul2222]

Hi everyone may I talk here about other marketplaces for comparing the marketplaces? I want the answer so, I can compare other marketplaces with this.

[lloydsolutions]

As this is the Fiverr platform it would be inappropriate to discuss other platforms.

I think it shouldn’t be appropriate.

[sabbirhossain96]

Not at all. Unfortunately, i click on yes button. It is my mistaken.

Unless the forum rules suddenly changed on this issue (which I don't believe they have), the answer is no.

If you want to talk about those other platforms, why not go to those other platforms and find their forums so you can ask all the questions you desire about their platform and how it is operated.

Or, create a Facebook group for freelancers or whatever so you can exchange ideas or talk about any platform you want.

But, here, no, you really should not be asking questions about competitor's to Fiverr.

Inside Fiverr itself, no. On the forums? I have no idea what the rule is, but I think it reeks of authoritarianism and lack of transparency to simply forbid informed conversation about the freelance landscape. It's like, what would Fiverr be afraid of? Transparency is healthy. Comparisons are useful. One thing is coming here saying "platform X is much better, Fiverr sucks", and I understand if Fiverr wouldn't like that. A different thing is saying "platform X works in this way, and Fiverr could implement similar Y or Z and be better off as a platform by doing so". That's constructive and helpful for everyone.

I have no idea if it's strictly forbidden to say "upwork" on the forums, for example, but if it is, it reflects terribly on Fiverr.  Just makes them look bad (afraid of competition?).

"upwork"

I think two forums ago, if I'm not mistaken, typing something like that gets replaced with another word upon posting. Good to see now it appears as it is. Haha.

I think I've said it before and it wasn't censored. No clue why it would be, tbh - Fiverr has a much better model (overall), upwork is not even competition in my eyes. That doesn't mean they don't some things better (tiered commission, for example, is MUCH better).

[mrweb_developer]

I don't think you should talk about others here. If you have any quesiton about Fiverr. You are welcome!

[lead_master98]

I think ,You should never do that.

[Guest cd_ripon]

No, Don't do that 

[zfjharna]

No, I don't think it's a good idea to share other market place issues here and fiverr will accept it.

[mdsamaul677]

Really you are right...!!

[risanzahamed]

No

Why would Fiverr want others to be discussing other platforms that are competition? And, whether you like it or not, Fiverr has every right to run their site in an authoritarian way - do you think the TOS is authoritarianism too?

And, this is why Fiverr would rather conversations about other sites not be discussed here. You would have what you said above - people slamming Fiverr and saying go work at X site, they are better!

While this part does sound good, I doubt most of the conversations would go that way.

If the OP wants to talk about other sites and how they work, they have the ability to go to those forums or create one themselves to talk about anything they like.

When in Fiverr's house, you follow Fiverr's rules. Authoritarian or not.

i love fiverr so me no discuss other marketplace

[cosmyc_cube]

I don't think you can. This is the "Fiverr forum" after all.

[crea8ivenur]

I think fiverr will not accept this matter

[kreativzak]

I personally feel that it is against the TOS. Better you don't talk about other platforms here.

 

[reza_asif]

why do you want to compare other platform here. It is simple. Sometimes it is good to ask a good question. Not silly thing.

The original post was a yes or no question. What was right? Did you even read the post? Or are you merely replying to gain points? 

[wphossain]

You should not discuss other marketplace here. but as a comparing the things , you can follow up the trending new features of fiverr. that will be good.

[turjay]

it shouldn’t be appropriate.

[pramanik_]

I think, Don't talk about other marketplaces here. Fiverr is an unique and special marketplace for freelancers. If you need to know or any question about others marketplaces, Go to there forums and talk there. Thanks for your good question.
