Can we know why Fiverr Bangladesh Club has closed recently? Is it really fair? We all Bangladeshi Freelancer wants to know this answer.

Okay, how will you develop a local community?

I think Fiverr occasionally organizes community meets and notifies the sellers from that particular region if I'm not wrong.

You have no idea I've built an excellent relationship with so many professional sellers because to the opportunity club provided!

Perhaps you could do the same globally with people around the world which seems even better to me but of course, everybody has their ways, and the club was more beneficial to you. Sadly now it's gone and we have to find different ways to make it work.

You know what happens on Facebook! How violet are the young people who have been duped by Mentor? Didn't you?

Well, I'm not sure what happens on Facebook and I didn't get what you're saying here. I think everyone should be their own mentor and listen to their guts and check before blindly believing what others are saying.

The club was no doubt a good and impactful place to seek guidance and help but the same can be done now globally and in English. If someone has a problem with English fluency then it might be terrible news for them otherwise it's the same as it was before.

Hopefully, everyone can adapt to the changes soon.

It is international place. Many Bangladeshi write in bangla here

So sad

[soldiert85]

It is very sad news!
I spent too much time in the club than I did on social media, and I would have liked to spend more time in the club because I could learn a lot from the club and teach others who came to know something, if I knew about it beforehand. As we all know, there are many rules and regulations in fiverr which I found out through the club! There are different options for rules, but it's true that not all of us read those! Or do not try to understand that, there are many rules and regulations! But I got to know all those things from the club leaders and senior members.

This is the official club, and no one in the club would ever dare teach us anything wrong! Here everyone shares knowledge about fiverr, it's like a family. Many violations are taught on social media! But we think violations are good for us but we never know the truth. The truth remains hidden. 

I have many things to say about the club! But I don't know if I can share all those things through a comment or a post! I just want to say one thing, I spent a lot of time in the club for knowledge sharing. Maybe fiverr is thinking of bringing something new!

Yes, But it is not wrong for sure.

Clubs are removed and you can use the forum exactly as you did before but in English

[amirkhan96hamza]

Community club was really a great window to stay in touch with my native freelancers...

Is there anything official about it, or were they doing some tweaks to the forum (we know that they are changing the forum), and all Clubs got disabled until they could fix them?

It is heartbreaking, I am missing Fiverr Bangladesh: Community Club too much.

The Bangladesh Club is not being treated unfairly. All of the clubs are missing.

I was surprised to read about Fiverr's recent decision to shut down the Community Club feature on its platform.

Did you read somewhere that the clubs being shut down is an official move on Fiverr's part? It may be that Fiverr is merely reorganizing the Forum like they are the main platform. 

Please place the link here if you read it in a Fiverr official notice.

@Kesha It's an off-topic question.

I am wondering that where is the "Club" Tab now? Has it been removed from the Forum? We had it previously next to the Forums tab. 

Hi! All clubs have been removed from the forum as of yesterday. We understand this is disappointing news for our valued community members, and we sincerely apologize for this.

The decision to close these clubs was not made lightly, and we want to assure you that it was done with careful consideration due to the resource constraints presented. We are actively exploring ways to revisit the concept of social clubs, ensuring that we can provide a secure and enjoyable space for all members.

There is now

See:

Most of the community clubs lacked active participation, which is what I learned.

💯✅

It's also an opportunity for people to focus on self-development and to learn things on their own, through reading from authentic sources and garnering work experience on Fiverr.

Receiving guidance is good⬆️ but overreliance on spoon-feeding often creates a cagey comfort zone!!

No. They really have removed all the clubs from the Forum yesterday.  Check Kesha's response to my query: ⬇️

Some did though, even if it wasn't every day it might not need to be. Some didn't have the people to accept their entry to the club for a while.

Though I thought that the country specific clubs weren't necessarily the best option for all people since splitting it up just by country (rather than interests or skills or other things people might have in common) might not be the best way of doing it. The way the country ones got set up seemed to be just (or initially) to try to get people to travel to different in-person meetings which doesn't seem very applicable for online freelancers (eg. why travel many miles to in-person meetings when you can discuss things online almost instantly and without travel costs?).

According to this post:

https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/325110-etiquettes-for-navigating-ratings-and-reviews-from-buyers/?do=findComment&comment=2035633

"it was done with careful consideration due to the resource constraints presented"

That suggests they didn't have enough resources to handle it (or the resources to handle the meet-ups that the country specific clubs were initially mostly created for), which wouldn't the case if there were hardly any posts. Maybe some of the country ones didn't have much participation (though probably some did). Maybe they didn't have enough staff/volunteers to check the posts in each different language in the clubs, so they decided to remove all the clubs, even the ones that would be easy to check. If it wasn't because of needing enough staff/volunteers checking it might have been because of too many posts in some those clubs based on the "resource constraints presented".

Though I thought they said they were trying to increase engagement on the forum, and deleting clubs that hundreds or thousands of people used and banning people from posting for 24 hours after they post about 10 posts in a day isn't really helping with that.

Oh! I missed this information. Thank you @uk1000

[prosen_224]

Sad to lose such a beautiful club feature. I don't know if Fiverr will come up with any other options.

[vickiespencer]

We worked hard to improve our club and make it a welcoming place where wordsmiths could gather and talk "shop". Now, all of our work was for naught! 

[webcut]

Club is really helpful for local freelancer for meet-up. But we should always ready to face challenges. Hope we will promote our community through the new features.

Yes brother. No more available! Will miss BD Club.

We can keep our Facebook Fiverr Community Group Alive. Hope that will be helpful for us to make decision or meet-up.
