they are pretty much saying that, more or less. Although in a more refined, non-direct way. But we all know that's what they mean here.

I mean, we, as sellers, came here to work in a professional workplace and serve clients — not to play puzzle games with Fiverr officials. If they have something to say, they should say it directly and write it in the terms and official articles.

They're just repeatedly saying that we're considering a "wide time frame"...how much wider? 2 years? 5 years? 70 years? At least, we were previously aware that our levels were considering 60 days, but now.....literally no info. Likewise, no info on other factors as well. What about "location inconsistency"......If I plan a trip every 15 days, will I get a warning? Any confirmation?

If there is no timeline said, then i think account lifetime.

After what I just witnessed with 2 of my gig scores going blank before my eyes tells me there is more than one timeline at play here

I also got two gigs with "--" score which showed 8 yesterday 🫣

It looks like they are fixing something.... Not exactly what needs to be fixed

If by fixing  they are lowering my overall score by removing 2 of my best score gigs and leaving my lowest score gigs in place, then yeah, we're in for the fix alright

Well, the webinar was a waste of time as expected.

What's your score now since they did that? It went down?

my overall success score is still at 8.  Not knowing what it going on is pushing me closer to the edge. I have a less popular gig that hasn't seen an order in months that's still sitting there with an 8, yet these two are gone though both have had recent orders.

Did it come back with the same score and metrics or did something change?

[virgoca]

Well that’s comforting! Now I know that an omnipotent and omniscient AI is the one determining if my extensions were valid or not. I’m so glad to not have a consistent, reliable and predictable metric I can work around in an informed manner, and all I have to do is sit tightly at the end of each order to see if the AI God decided I was a good boy during the order. How refreshing, liberating and comforting this all is. Truly, the Fiverr overlords are nothing short of geniuses.

This is totally contradictory to what CS told me

[phanduy]

I'm a 10 years Freelancer on Fiverr, I really miss Fiverr 2 years ago and before versions, everything is great, and now its a messy page, the Fiverr team try to put huge non neccesary things, and day by day, they seem don't care about seller, just buyer.

“It won’t change sh*** about your score, but if you want to stop making (us) money, sure, go ahead and pause/delete it. I dare you, I double dare you *****”

@smartdezigns We have a plot twist on our hands here!! 🤔🧐

Absolutely. It’s not an exaggeration to say this is affecting peoples mental health. This is many sellers livelihoods and a lot of people are completely confused and the proposed changes don’t make any sense and we are lacking full transparency. The little bit we have got just leads to more questions. 

It's been a very rough week, and it shouldn't have been. The worst part about it is it's all manufactured stress that doesn't need to be here.

Speechless!! Whom should we believe now? What should I do with this then ⬇️ Should I ignore this?

Don't worry, next webinars will be the same too i.e. waste of time.

I am wondering that what does pausing or deleting a gig has to do with the revenue flow? What an illogical answer it is. 

[jesse_cl]

Fiverr staff!
Can someone please explain this to me? 
I have included screenshots of how the new level system affects my profile despite having impeccable scores.
I have been in touch with customer service and asked a series of questions about what can be done but there hasn't been a satisfactory and clear reply except quoting the same things as stated on your release page.
Please address these issues as they affect our livelihood. We put years into reaching a certain level and then you release a new evaluation system which brings it down to 0.

I assume the idea is “if you pause a gig, you won’t get the orders you would’ve from that gig. So deleting it won’t help your score, and it will only help you lose on potential orders. So you should know best”. At least that’s what it reads like to me.

Well, we are gonna pause/delete only those gigs which rarely sells then it does not make any sense. Who will pause/delete those gigs which sells the best?

No one is gonna help you with it as they are being unresponsive these days. They are confused like us too that's why you won't be able to get a satisfied response from them.

Seeing how earlier today someone sent a screenshot of them basically telling us that if we have good selling gigs we should never take vacations or time off because we must keep selling selling selling, I don’t think they care much, even if it’s $1000 or $5, as long as it’s making some sort of profit, they are advising you to keep it up. Not gonna lie, these past couple days I’m starting to see Fiverr more like a small money grubbing goblin salivating and growling at anything that comes close to them…

Yeah we should act like a Robot which can make lots of money without sleeping, eating, vacationing etc.
