Can you Freaking believe it? Another BS by Advance Rating System

[bestinmarket]

I have a coffee gig (tip gig). It is obvious that a person offered you TIP because he/she liked your work. Here I am attaching a screenshot of what I got as a rating on my TIP GIG! (4.5 stars)

Do read the comment by the buyer.



That’s blowing my mind…



What you say?

[arty182925]

Oh God. I must say this is worst I saw. What did you do wrong on tip? lol.

[fayestap]

A little insight into human psychology and 5 star rating systems right there.

[woubuc]

If this isn’t reason enough to toss the entire ARS in the garbage and go back to the thumbs rating system, then I don’t know what is…

[bestinmarket]

Well, I don’t know whether I should cry over that or just LOL on that? :-/

[Guest bigmish]

And they have the nerve to make blog posts that say if we don’t have 100% ratings then our service/product isn’t high quality!

[mrproofreading]

You have got to be joking. Oh goodness, you can’t make this stuff up.



Fiverr, you’re a joke.

[bestinmarket]

Now TIP GIGs would make impact (negatively) on your ratings!! That’s ridiculous!!

Reply to @bachas85: Oh do not dream about cs helping you, it seems they have a new made up policy, here is what they had to say to me, after a buyer changed his 5 star into 1 stars all over for not providing free work, even though he had said, grate work, grate experience…bl bla bla



Hi There,



Thank you for your message and I sorry to read about this experience. Following your report our Content Editors are currently looking into the user’s conduct and will take any appropriate steps. Unfortunately, we cannot remove a buyer’s feedback without their consent and I have seen that your buyer insists on his comments staying. I would wait a bit of time before trying to communicate again and asking him for his consent but once you get it, we will be happy to assist you.



Regards,

Reply to @bachas85: Haven’t contacted CS yet!

I have contacted CS in past for removing unjustified Thumbs Down ratings. They did helped me and removed the negative reviews. But don’t know if they would take actions on the STAR Ratings as @mimie01 telling her story…



Sending a ticket now, lets see what reply I get…

[bestinmarket]

Reply to @bachas85: Ticket submitted. Hoping to get “Priority Support”.

I contacted cs about the whole ARS thing and asked why they felt they needed to change it and that was three days ago and haven’t heard anything back from them! I think their ignoring anything to do with the ARS

[anubisven]

Reply to @mimie01: WAIT! what!!! now they can’t even remove negative ratings by scammers?!i dont even…

I thought ARS was bad,but this?! buyers have the right to choose to keep a rating or not even if they are just trying to scam? so we are completely exposed and helpless? just wow fiverr…

[Guest gfx_genius16]

height of stupidity, BS this ARS sysytem !

[wilhagen]

I dont understand why they thought that they needed to change the rating system of all things! They have lots more things to worry about then a rating system that isn’t even good. The best rating system was thumbs up or down not this ARS crap it shouldn’t even be called the ARS it was such a horrible idea! They should worry more about fixing the seller layout platform because as of now the sheet ive got to do page is pitiful and the speech bubble doesnt always work and the seller layout pages don’t work they should make the pages more like the page that you go to when you click on sales! Or how about fix the app! I have every push notification setting on and I still don’t get ANY notifications! They should do more to help the seller out not wreck stuff like they are with the ARS!

@bachas85 @mimie01 @anubisven

Wow! Got a quick reply from support and that rating was removed from my account.

@mimie01: If yours not removed yet, do contact CS again. Sometimes you come across a person in CS who simply refuses to help regarding such matters. But there are definitely those who do help in genuine matters.



BUT STILL, ARS is NOT acceptable!!

[bestinmarket]

So the image is also deleted from the original post. :-/

[bestinmarket]

Reply to @bachas85: I did hide that. But it’s back now (visible).

Reply to @bestinmarket:



Images do seem to come and go a little bit on the forum.



Glad you had a good result. It’s so funny.



"Would you give another tip or refer a friend to give a tip?"



Uh, no… I guess that’s 4 stars LOL

[mimie01]

Reply to @bestinmarket: I refused to accept the answer from R, customer service guy, and submitted even the screen shoots where buyer gave me a 5 star all across and then changed it to 1 star. What possible reason can you have to change a rating so drastically from a 5 star all across to a 1 star? You watch the video, you think its cool, you tell me in messages and in the rating, excellent job, grate communication, seller work good under pressure.



I think I got a person that just dont care, or maybe its to difficult to explain or for him to understand. I will leave my ticket open and see what will be the next replay

[bestinmarket]

Reply to @anarchofighter: LOL

[bestinmarket]

Reply to @mimie01:

I would suggest to close that ticket and submit another one.

[bestinmarket]

Update:

Customer Support did remove the rating, but today that buyer rated that same gig again 4 stars. 😛

Sending ticket again…
