  1. Same, I'm not surprised at all. 😏After reading what @frank_dsaid happened him, oh my word. It's truly sick and demented. 😧 I'm sorry Frank. SMH! 🤢 Things shouldn't have gone this far. This is why if anyone is going through struggles/fighting demons 👺 in life social media is not the tool to air out problems or seek help. Sometimes the issue runs too deep for anyone to help. Getting the proper care, therapy, support, healing and counseling is highly recommended. Please, listen to Frank and don't engage him. 🍍
  2. Nice, thanks for sharing. 😁 @mjensen415Sweet! It's great to see that Fiverr took the matter seriously and took action. 😎
  3. Yes, I recently read an article about this law passing. I believe it got 82 votes from MSPs. Things are going to get real hairy. 😬
  4. Hi, @words_to_wow, Oh no, I'm sorry you're still being harassed. 😡 People are angry and upset about this despicable behavior. Some are too scared to say anything in fear. Which is understandable. I'm sorry, but where I'm from I speak up for what I believe in. Being quiet and mum is not an option. If we remain silent, it emboldens people. Imagine how other people feel, outsiders reading through these comments who don't sell/buy. They wouldn't feel inclined to be a part of this community. Sending virtual hugs your way. 🤗
  5. First & foremost. I’ll start by saying I hope everyone is doing well, staying safe and healthy. 🙂 I haven’t been active on this forum for a long time. But coming back to check out the newness of the forum. Then reading some of the posts/commentary was disheartening. I’ve been seeing people, especially women getting called awful and unimaginable things. Users subjected to racial epithets. People are being harassed on the forum and on the main Fiverr website. But yet the perpetrator(s) still get to have free reign to continue to abuse users? What kind of message is this really sending? As a melanin and proud woman. It was appalling reading the message that user sent to another melanin user @words_to_wow. I’m sorry this happened to you. You are an amazing woman, and you deserve to be treated with decency and respect. Racism, xenophobia, homophobia, cyberbullying, and misogyny are disgusting. Many social media platforms are taking the necessary actions to stop this madness. What is Fiverr doing? This is a work-related environment. @frank_d made an executive decision to ban a user for cyberbullying and hatred towards others. Pretty much a user breaking forum rules/community guidelines. I understand that Frank was told not to ban a user, but he had to put a stop to the madness, and I commend him for doing so. Even if his decision was overturned. If I was in Frank's position; I would’ve done the same thing without thinking twice.👏🏽 How many free passes does one get?! In the world we live in. Hate crimes are on the rise. People should never be harassed because of their skin color; race, or religious beliefs, etc. Okay, I’ve written a novel. But you get my point. I had to get this off my chest. I’ll stop here with these parting words. We cannot allow ourselves to become desensitized to hate crimes. This is not about, you but US. I want to hear how the Fiverr Forum Moderation and as a Platform will protect users from these types of abuses.
  6. Stopping by to grace your page with my presence. 😄

      I'm ecstatic to see you're back and doing well. You always made me laugh or giggle a bit LOL. 😃

  7. Ciao,

    Oh, my word, you're 118-years-old? I had no idea. 😬

    Your birthday is right around the corner. Now I have to figure out what to buy you. 😄

  8. Quietly -tip toes- around. 

    Yikes, it's been a longtime since I've visted this place. 😄

    I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy.

      Hi, it's so nice to see you. 🥰 I hope you've been doing well. 

      This place has certinly changed since the last time I've visited. But I'll get used to the new look and features. 😃

  9. Trying to get rich on Fiverr. Hmm. 🥴 I’m not saying it can’t happen but take baby steps. Here’s some motivation: How These 3 People Make 6 Figures A Year On Fiverr It’s cool to set goals. My goal is to buy a camel. 🐪
  10. DONE My answer is still the same from the last poll and that’s both. 😎 The Buyer only ratio on the forum is definitely smaller.
  11. @afzaldesigner78 Oh my gosh, that is a lovely Masjid. 🙂 What’s the second place?
  12. Yikes! Talk about a blast from the past. This was a fun thread. 😃 Excellent choices, I would love to visit those places as well. But after we get over the coronavirus stuff. 🙂 1173×1600 355 KB
  13. Check out this post :point_down:t4: and don’t forget to watch the video to get the juicy deets. Watch it twice, it’s that good! 🍍
  14. LOLz, people are getting stellar advice from “Self-Proclaimed”. Less than qualified 5r Gurus somewhere on the net. 🙊
  15. Oh, that’s awesome! I’m sure the both of you guys can motivate each other. 💪 You’ll be looking like Da Rock or Aquaman 🌊 ~ Jason Momoa in no time. 😄 My babes 💕 introduced me to indoor rock climbing. Before, I tackle the real thing LOL 'cause I’m liable to breaking stuff. Oh my goodness, you should see me trying to climb this thing. Pure comedy! 😆 Cheers to a Fit & FAB New Year! :ok_hand:t4:
  16. Meh, I’m perfectly fine with the 2 weeks clearance. 🍍 Hypothetically speaking, if 5r rolled out (7) day clearance to all Sellers, GREAT! But I’m not going to hold my breath. Simple… It’s a perk! If you want that perk, work hard to become a TRS, then you’re golden. 😉
  17. Yup! This part is just ridiculous. I ❤️ I will continue to tip Sellers but from a Buyer POV it’s a bit much.
  18. That’s cool and everything but woh-woh it’s not enuff room for two. 🙃 Maybe something like this would work? 😁 Nice! :ok_hand:t4: A Honda? or what?
  19. Hmm, :thinking: Where are you getting your stats from? You cannot speak for ‘every’ Seller on this platform.
  20. Think about it sales will not continue to flow constantly as you expect. Some days/weeks dry spells other days not so much. That’s Ebb & Flow if you owned a business outside of Fiverr you would understand that’s how Business works. Finding every opportunity to blame Fiverr for no sales, sorry I just can’t wrap my head around it. I asked you what do you want Fiverr to do? I’m curious to know what are your expectations.
  21. They look a bit stiff and stone-faced. Oh, my! I bet it’s super cold to touch, let alone sit on. 😯 My 🐴 I believe you’ll be polishing the carriage today, no?
  22. Yep - this really irritates me. I want to offer zero revisions and I dont want clients to mistakenly think they are entitled to them. Unfortunately Fiverr seems unable or unwilling to allow me this “grace”. However, they need to really change their messages. Look at what shows up when a buyer goes to click “Accept”: It is a wonder that anyone clicks Accept when they see this! Why does it say this on a gig that doesn’t and never has offered revisions? However, even if this situation is a bit more Sh#t Happens! than Get Sh#t Done, I think there are ways to handle it. I tend not to get the serial revision requesters but that is likely down to my categories. However, I do believe that if one firmly establishes their value initially that it is easier and more effective to refuse these. On the few occasions it has happened, I handled it in a similar way to handling someone asking for discounts. As for CS cancellations - I haven’t had that happen so I dunno, it just seems extremely odd. I do like the way you handle those to a point, I just don’t think it is making you money - although you are providing the world with a charitable service, namely educating people. That easy huh?! That’s amazing! 🏆 I guess he realized that you were being fair and he was just hunting for a bargain. I’ve had a query where a user asked for a quote 600-800 word script. Gave the user the deets and the user said “I hired an artist last week who did it for $10.” I said, oh that’s great, then perhaps you may want to rehire that artist and some other lovely professional words. Anyway, the user thanked me for my time and skedaddled. LOLz, so I wasn’t as lucky as you. 😄!
  23. Now, my response was friendly and clear as well as establishing the fact that I value myself correctly. It had a little humor, but was also quite straight to the point - what you are offering is not enough, period. This has resulted in a series of projects with this client and will total 250k words by the end, all at my going rate with a small discount that I offered after the first 50,000 words. If I had just said “No” to the client, that would have been the end of it. If I had accepted that rate, I would be absolutely miserable working on this while having to send away higher paying clients. Moreover, the client is exceptionally happy with the work and the overall experience. Now, this situation is just one of many similar cases where the initial contact with the client was what others would call negative. Some clients do not order with me because my price is higher than their budget - that’s ok. They go away disappointed because they cannot work with me - some even come back weeks or months later having saved up the required amount! So there you have it, dealing with “bad buyers” is not so bad usually. How you handle them can dramatically change things for both of you. Try it out next time and see how it goes. If you disagree or can take nothing else from this whole post, just go read the Valuing Yourself Properly section again. Whoa! This is an interesting post, albeit a long one. I had to take breaks in between. You’ve hit a bunch of good points here. :ok_hand:t4: Nope! I don’t have a problem saying “NO”. Of course, I don’t blatantly so “no”. I use nicer words like unfortunately. “Unfortunately, I can’t do XYZ” project. I always cringe when people say this. I never bought into this tagline! I’d go beyond that by making myself “THE CEO” by taking control of my ship. Managers are underrated and don’t get paid well. I’m curious how did the person react to this line? 🔺
