  1. It would bring a lot of new users too! It's a no-brainer, Fiber!
  2. It's Christ Chan now. Or Jesus CHRIST-ine Weston Chandler Sonichu Prime! ⚡💙⚡
  3. Just kidding... 😅 Well, Dragon Ball had a huge impact on my life, so I'll attach some art from that. (Funny how AI bros thought it was appropriate to "honor" Akira Toriyama's passing by posting tons of AI art all across social media.)
  4. I agree with this. Both boomers and zoomers are likely to fall for scams. https://www.vox.com/technology/23882304/gen-z-vs-boomers-scams-hacks I don't believe zoomers generally are as tech-literate as they are made out to be, especially when it comes to computers.
  5. I realized that since George R.R. Martin will never finish Winds of Winter, there will never be any proof that Stannis the Mannis, the rightful king of Westeros, didn't end up removing the usurper from the throne.
  6. Not all of them. I have never asked for a review or even mentioned a review in my time on Fiverr. Yet, without guiding my buyers, I have only received a single 4.7-star review in the last two years. I think it comes down to being able to spot red flags in buyers. We're competitors, OP, and I can see that one of your recent 4.3-star reviews came from a buyer that I turned down because he seemed like he would be too demanding. It's about learning what signs to look for.
  7. Oh, that's about the success score. I'm talking about the ratings.
  8. I haven't read all the threads, so I don't know. Maybe they'll end up changing what I saw. It was two whole days ago after all.
  9. The new rating breakdown/system is unfair to lower-volume (or newer sellers) as those who have gotten thousands of reviews prior to private feedback being a thing won't be as affected. This is supported by the fact that I saw a seller with thousands of reviews maintain their 4.9 rating in the new rating breakdown, even though if you calculated a simple average of the five review metrics, they should have ended up with a 4.7 rating. Another example is a seller who has a 4.7 rating but should have ended up with a 4.5 rating. (Not referring to anybody in this thread, btw. I got sent a few other ratings privately.)
  10. Buyers are able to leave private feedback after an order, so the two new rating metrics are basically based on that feedback.
  11. Yes, Google Translate did!
  12. It really is. I have heard from reliable sources that some of my competitors, who I know are straight-up Google Translating everything, have gotten higher ratings than me... One even got a 5 in Quality of delivery.
  13. It might be a glitch for now, but most of us will get a 4.9 rating come March 14. This is just a taste.
  14. Some people can see it on their profiles. I can't yet, but a friend was kind enough to send it to me.
  15. They added two new rating metrics "Quality of delivery" and "Value of delivery" which will ensure that every seller now will have a 4.9 in their overall rating instead of a 5... which will end up changing nothing. Some people are already seeing these added ratings on their profiles. I can't see them on mine yet, but like you, my dashboard also shows a 4.9 rating.
  16. Text Me Back, a narrative-driven small-town mystery game with choices (and a couple of twists). It basically plays like Life is Strange if you know that.
  17. I would just continue to spend it on whatever I need for my game. Recently, it has mostly gone toward voice acting, so that would probably be the case for the $1000 as well.
  18. The best sellers are passionate about what they do. You can simply feel it in the way they interact with you and what they deliver. There's nothing better than a seller who truly cares. Another important thing is that they're honest and communicate clearly if there's something they don't understand or if they need more time to finish the job.
  19. Well, I can tell you that I'm afraid to give my honest opinion in a public review if it's negative because of the way some sellers react. And I like the new "value of delivery" more than "value for money."
  20. I have been lucky enough to work with only great sellers for the past year, so I've only needed very few revisions (and I'd never say anything in a review I don't truly mean). Usually, I also leave very extensive notes if it's the first time I work with them, and then I adjust as I learn whether they need a lot of instructions or if it's better to give them more freedom. I worked with a bad seller in 2022, though. He was a graphic designer within a niche without many sellers and seemed to be the best choice. And the most expensive, too. However, the end result looked very, very cheap. I requested a revision, but I could see that there was no way to salvage it. I let the order automatically close. I should have left a bad review, but with my previous negative experiences doing that, I just let him have it in the private feedback instead. So, I have a hard time being honest if I'm truly dissatisfied and the situation is unsalvageable because I don't want people to threaten to harass me on social media again.
  21. Same here. I was so, so stupid. I got partial deliveries and didn't question it until it was clear the person was trying to scam me. I just thought it was how it worked. Luckily, CS saved me. And I worked with so many people who couldn't follow basic instructions or who didn't know how to do a job but agreed to do it, anyway. They would just string me along for weeks. What they were hoping to get out of it, I don't know. Without delivering, they'd get nothing. I already got hooked just by them calling me a superstar. I crave praise, okay? So, yeah, I always leave long reviews now, but I have a seller who I've bought from 20 times, and she's amazing, but it's gotten difficult to come up with new things to say. But with the new system in place, I try to be as positive as I can—both in the review and in the inbox afterward, so I help my sellers progress because I appreciate them.
  22. Couldn't be more thrilled 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱!!!!! I've always loved receiving messages asking me for "plz more jop sir," and it just makes Fiverr a much more professional marketplace! We all know that buyers are stupid, so how would they know that they can order from us again if we don't tell them?
  23. I’ve never asked for a review. I was a buyer first and always saw it as kinda pushy since I knew Fiverr would ask me to leave one a million times. Well, I was also very cheap when I started, so I probably didn’t work with the most professional or eloquent sellers, either. Also, a couple of years ago, the consensus on the forum was that it wasn’t allowed to ask for a review at all because of a CS response to @vickiespencer, I believe it was. At that time, Fiverr was never really clear about it. Still, I’ve had sellers chase me in my inbox spamming/begging me to leave a review mere minutes after delivering an order and not letting go (yes, they kept writing messages) until I logged in and told them to shut up. Also, had one go ballistic after I left a negative review. So, I’m not surprised that this post is necessary and that many sellers end up getting warnings.
