It’s phase one of the solution to a wider problem on Fiverr.

The next phase will definitely shake things up a bit. 😉 

Do you know if they'll make an announcement about the upcoming changes or where one is posted?

Fiverr usually rolls out a feature and then there's a small announcement made on either the blog, the forum or a new section on the seller helpdesk.

When this new set of features starts rolling out, you will definitely hear about it here, as I will be able to talk to people about it and explain how it works.

you can easily spot them especially in the writing section with their bad grammar...yet they say they are born and living in the US. 

Or their timestamp does not match any US timezone.

I wish I could say more, but I can’t do that just yet.

 

What I can say is that this new thing will NOT affect legitimate and honest sellers. 🙂

@newsmike I visited your profile and could not see your blue check? 🤔 Are you using a VPN and actually living in one of the countries that shall not be named?

No VPN, time travel. You are actually looking at my profile from 3 years forward, Fiverr dumped the blue check mark thing in early 2023.  By the Way, @frank_d now is CEO, and @damooch916 is head of security.  But the really good news is they say they will clean up the forum soon.

I hope Fiverr begins to charge for being a seller.  A monthly cost.

It's not visible on my profile. Hope it appears soon.!

👍 Cool beans. I bet there'll be good free ☕ day and night then, too.

Our firm received the blue check mark last week. We're in a tightly regulated industry where many in our gig category aren't licensed or transparent with their credentials thus we see the verification shield as a good thing.

  ... I was going to joke back and say: 'What? I'm not on the forum staff yet, after three years? At least tell me I'm in the nomination pool!'

But then my brain kicked in and asked: 'Maybe it's because I'm not on Fiverr in three years?'

Which... Perspective. Do I want to be in this mess of a forum for another three years? Do I want to tolerate this, day after day?

'Scuse me while I go revisit @williambryan392's thread, and contemplate life a bit.

I think it might be related to that lottery ticket you will purchase in December.

As the #4 top forum user in Fiverr forum reputation, and the #3 top forum user in most content, I suppose it's a fair question for me to wonder where @newsmike sees me in his crystal ball. I am geniuinely curious. 🙃

Jeez, impressive, mine are some rookie numbers!

How do you see where users line up?

I think I can guess who's in the top 5 or 10!

Visit your forum profile page, then hover over and click the gold box below your profile photo. 😉

TL;DR - Top 48 is basically 6k reputation and above.

That's easy. I see you running the rehabilitation and corrections department. After @damooch916 cuffs them, the misfits of Fiverr society are under your care.  They send the users to you who need some straight talk, tough love and discipline before they can return to society.

As the #1 top forum user in forum mischief for seven years consecutive (I posted as a normal contributor for the first two or so) and the #.5 in unrelated forum responses containing satire, Jon - I can assure you that you know exactly where we’ll be in three years. 
 

But we may have that “members only,” cool kids club section by then. Some stuffy, elitist paradise - where we buy into the torrid circus of it all. A place where long time members, with only defined forum personalities, are allowed. The sort of high society group where we grow fat from our power and we lose our sense of common humanity.

Personally, it sounds amazing and I can’t wait.

Or … ya know… the actual “regulars” cast could just organize a virtual mixer by invite, like we should have done years ago. 

@frank_dwhat do you think about that? Let’s organize a virtual mixer and do an invite only type deal. The sort of thing that you can make people wear funny hats in a bid to attend. Actually Frank, I’m realizing this is a phone call conversation and not really forum chatter. 
 

Nobody saw nothin. Go about your business, you.

There, I fixed it.

So, in your vision of a three year future;  your societally defunct, apocalyptic drama sequence … some amalgamated state of reality where fiverr manifests into physical landscapes … where new sellers in white hospital clothes line the walls of bleak buildings and sellers clog the roads, offering their goods for coins in an outstretched hat…

In this “Kafka meets Road Warrior” dystopia, with its rows of big building desk attendees and it’s ravaged population - layered in torn rags and seeking pocket money by calling to you on the broken roads - “I just got my first gig dear…” they say in a gravel tone, “how do I get customer,” they whimper as you toss them to the ground …

…In this place, you think that I’m some chain swinging, dystopian cowboy type? Some highly appointed specialist that deals in insanity and morbidity? Some weird shadow like creature- trading in fear, ridicule, physical imposing - and yet capable of loud outbursts and cerebral, yet bizarre, dissertations that aim to harm the wicked and disable the falsely righteous?

Well Mike… I guess my only question is… How is that different from now? 
 

I didn’t make promotion in three years? I think your crystal ball is broken Cleo.

Gosh, while that post count bubble is worrying in itself, I never clicked that box or would have thought you even can click it, but I knew in any case that my simple "Yes." to Will's topic of whether we spend too much time on the forum was the simple truth. I've had several breaks, because I do get fed up with some things regularly, but I always gravitated back, so far.
Perhaps, Fiverr not sending out mails about things you'll only find out about on here, and this quagmire of forum overload and white noise is by (forum attendance) design, after all... You just want to check for anything important, quickly, but can't, really, or just want to like a post, have to log in for that, and to not drown in the mire of redundant threads, see your notifications, and before you notice, you've spent far too much time yet again 😅

Reminds me of the Elementary series, where that, err, internet information collecting collective makes Holmes (later Watson too, one or two times, I think), umm, wear funny hats and stuff, that could be fun! And we could have a turtle mascot. Or just coffee, and that "eat coffee for lunch" Fiverr ad poster as a banner. Would be a bit troublesome to meet in person to eat real coffee, though, if that's what clubs are for, no wonder they are about meeting only people from your more or less immediate surroundings then.

In any case, if an in flesh meeting place, I suggest a Diogenes Club style club then, so the eremite and not communicative in person freelancers among us can sit in their armchairs in community but in silence and chat digitally in one room, while the social butterflies can merge, mingle, and vividly discuss with facial expressions and using hands and feet instead of emoji. To be fair, travel expenses are a thing, after all, that club location would need to rotate, so at least one person per sitting could attend without going bankrupt. 

Oh. I'm spending too much time here, again.
