Support & Troubleshooting

DISCLAIMER TO FIVERR REPS: this is not an issue I am currently being negatively impacted by and is not being shared as an emotional response to something that has happened to me. I am sharing because this is an unreasonable situation for any seller, and should be of concern to sellers as a whole.

A peer who is both buyer & seller here on Fiverr shared the below screenshot with me this morning from the private review system after she completed a purchase a few days ago. 

Notice in the current iteration of the system that under the question 

"How would you rate the overall quality of this delivery?"

I am uncertain whether it has always been this way, or whether this is a "test rollout" for the private systems, but 

 and should not be a term that is anywhere near a review system. It also does not mirror the public review system which does not use this rating term, which in itself is going to naturally drive different outcomes between public and private reviews. Please reconsider this decision. 

Fiverr is imperfect. Fiverr's own employees are imperfect. Perfection is a lofty philosophical concept and not a day-to-day reality for the vast majority of humans on this planet. That this term made it into the review system feels very poorly conceived. That, or it's part of a goal to artificially drive down review ratings, which works against Fiverr's own claims of "increased authenticity." 

 Please consider changing this term to something like "Excellent" or another super-enthusiastic term, but not perfection. You can't hold yourself to perfection, and should not hold your sellers to that expectation either. 

 can this please be forwarded to whatever development team is responsible for this system, and can additional context be shared around why "Perfect" is currently the 5-star rating option privately when it is not so publicly?

Private Review System Feedback: Remove "Perfect" as a rating option.
