In my case it is, don't know why because i too have taken many extensions on the order, and only few orders were delivered a bit late but because of late responses from clients and i had to take more extensions. This new level system didn't considered those metrics, fiverr should take some time and do some more R&D before launching this.

I am in the same boat as you are, got demoted from TRS to level 1 because of this new level system. Majority of my orders that got cancelled are not my fault and many of them are cancelled by fiverr customer care. @Kesha If they implemented this system after 14 years of fiverr establishment, then why are they measuring scores from past 14 years ? They should just start measuring the scores from this year or this month onwards This is really frustrating because our past should not affect our future, with this new level system many freelancers are going to loose business and clients. I hope with all the feedback received from forums they will change things in this new level system and make it more positive than negative which is the current scenario right now.

Testing improvements to the rating & review system
akshay_sihag replied to Kesha's topic in News From the Product Team
I don't like this new rating system, this is done intentionally so nobody can have a perfect 5 star rating on their profile. Because let's face it, buyers already don't leave reviews on orders sometimes and i have 70% orders rated only and that too when i ask buyers to leave feedback on the order. Nobody is going to rate exceptional because this wording means that the work was really outstanding and seller went way up and beyond for the order. I think 4 star will be the new average rating we would be getting the most since most buyers would just select "very good" because they don't know they are giving stars based on that. My average rating has decreased from a perfect 5.0 to 4.5 in just 2 weeks because of this and i am a TRS. Now i am afraid it will be go below the average 4.2 that is required to maintain the TRS level. Please fiverr team if this is still a beta, please change back to older levelling system or at least change the wording to Unsatisfactory > Marginal > Satisfactory > Good > Very Good Choosing words carefully would leave a good impact and more better reviews. @Kesha -
Should fiverr bring back send offers
akshay_sihag replied to small_savage's question in Starter Questions
Not at all, my earnings have doubled since they turned this feature off and added Buyer's briefs instead. -
So this is has happened to me multiple times that someone has copied my entire gig image, placed their own picture instead of mine and voila they got a new gig image. I mean why does people even do that ? I have reported such sellers multiple times and yet it keeps happening to me. I won't say their names here for the sake of confidentiality but c'mon guys why can't you just create your own gig images ? Due to this reason i had to change my gig images across my entire gig lineup. When i asked these sellers why they did that, this was their response "You are very popular on fiverr and we thought we can take inspiration from you gig picture". Well then take inspiration please!!! Don't copy the entire gig image and slap your photo instead of mine! This is a "Non-Original Standard" and you can read about it here https://www.fiverr.com/community/standards/intellectual-property and also on this topic here

I agree with you @vickieito! If buyers will be given an option to extend the review period again & again, they might abuse it. It would be better if this is added to Resolution Center instead where the buyer can request for extra review period extension upon seller acceptance.
