[Update: Addressing new level system questions and feedback]

I  quote here two paragraphs from Customer Support response:
1. "You’ll notice clearer criteria for each level, making it easier to know what needs to be improved or maintained to keep your current level or to level up."
2. "(...) the private ratings are very different from the public ones. This means that clients may have concerns or issues that haven't been fully addressed, despite what you may have initially thought about their satisfaction.(...) The level system considers a wide timeframe of your performance to ensure fair assessments and to prevent isolated negative experiences from impacting your score."

How can I improve a gig active since 2011, I've been almost constantly getting 5/5 stars with, (both good public reviews and clients' appreciation in the private chat page), as long as I know nothing about their "concerns or issues" they expressed in the private survey?

It's weird such a gig to get  4/10 rate by the new level system.

Almost all of my customers suffer by dissociative identity disorder?

I have only had two orders in 206 orders rate me below a 5, and both were 4.7s (oddly)... so why am I being told that my success score is an 8?! 

The gigs that I've spent YEARS getting to the optimal SEO and package pricing perfected on are getting lower numbers than brand new gigs that I've done one or two orders with?! 

I have a "Negative impact" on my communication even though my average response time has never in three years been below a few hours?!

I feel like I've been slapped in the face. 

I defend Fiverr every time my peers give me a hassle, but it's getting harder and harder to understand why I'm here.
Up-charging the program to get the money that I earned "early" with the Seller Plus program, even though I pay you 20% of everything I make? 


I feel so dejected and slightly threatened with loosing my level status.
HOW CAN I DO BETTER WHEN YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE WRONG?

I read that repeat customers is now a bad thing? even though you've pushed me to hook clients in for years?

if i wasn't in niche markets of my gigs, I feel like my orders would be down. I couldn't imagine being a visual artist or something else.

I don't want to have to take my services elsewhere... I like it here... well... liked it... 

PLEASE reconsider this new leveling system and simplify things.
I feel like there is about to be a mass exodus, and that doesn't make money for you. 

Besides this broken "New System Level"  their Response Rate score is a mess, taking into account the messages reported as spam. I submitted them last year two tickets, and each time they reseted the response rate accordingly ... They still have no intention to see what's wrong with the metrics, as I see.

I couldn't agree more with you mate, in regard to their "early payout" fee (added to 20% charge, even for tips ...)! Rapacity?

Well, I'd expect their response : Take it or leave it.

Yes, that's exactly my problem too!!
My flagship gig , I've been constantly getting 5/5 stars public reviews and customers appreciation in the private chat pages, was rated 4/10 by this New Level System. (downgraded me to level 1)

I do think something's wrong with these new metrics.

It's weird such a gig to get  4/10 rate by the new level system. If its algorithm calculation is properly made, I'm wondering  if almost all my customers suffer by dissociative identity disorder?

[New Fiverr level system]

I am very confused about the new system level Fiverr implemented recently.
I've a got a gig I've been constantly getting 5/5 stars public reviews, and still rated 4/10 by the new system level (downgraded me to level 1)
