Part two: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Key word, right there. How do you define 'active'? If you mean READING, then you're learning. If you mean posting and reacting for no other reason that to post and react, then you're just contributing to the mess.

My favorite 'program' is a pencil and paper. ^_^ That said, I'm making due with GIMP (and a mouse and keyboard) for digital touchups. It's got issues... like, a LOT of issues... but it works for what I need it to. I would enjoy getting a fancy tablet and program, but I've acknowledged that art is more of a hobby to me, and not a career. Thus, any money I sink into it has to be budgeted as 'for fun' and not 'for work'.

It only appears that way for you. You have 9 reviews on that gig.

You can't. Source: https://fiverr.com/support/articles/360011028318-Managing-your-Gigs Fiverr keeps this secret, so no one knows. If anyone tells you that they do, they're lying and/or have broken the Fiverr ToS. Source: https://www.fiverr.com/terms_of_service?source=footer

As you talk to them more, that time will average out. https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360011451678-Everything-you-need-to-know-about-response-time--rate Which is EXACTLY WHY it's important to NOT pretend to be online when you, yourself as a body at a keyboard, are NOT, in fact, online.

Because what you see in the search results is not what other people see. This can be found here, https://fiverr.com/support/articles/360011028318-Managing-your-Gigs in the second paragraph. As for orders: https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/216701-how-to-get-any-orders-at-all-and-get-more-once-you-have-a-few/ https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/211706-are-you-a-new-seller-this-is-how-you-get-more-orders/ https://community.fiverr.com/forums/topic/159744-before-you-ask-about-how-to-get-orders-or-no-orders-read-this-more-orders-tips-buyers-first-order-impressions-sales/

Why on earth did you wait a year to address this? If you've been off of Fiverr for that time, okay, but you're implying you've been sitting, waiting, and doing nothing. If what you're doing isn't working, try something new. Oh. Never mind, then. I was going to share some links/advice, but I don't qualify.

I checked on my profile, and didn't see them, but my gigs were all paused. Un-paused one, and now I can see skill tests, so I would guess you need to have an active gig. You can check here to verify that your gig is active: https://www.fiverr.com/support_tickets/new/gig?level1=not_searchable

No. I commented in your other thread. This is another mistake you're making that you should fix, BEFORE you make a new profile.

Are you referring to this? https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360050222673-How-do-I-change-my-username If so, you seem to have done it correctly.

I very nearly quit. For months I've only visited the "Questions" category, because I can upvote the actual answers and (near-quote) "downvote the spam into oblivion". (Thank you so much @melanielm for that phrase!) I'm only perusing a few more of the forum categories (FAQ, Feedback, a bit of reporting in both the "Tips") now more because I carpool and get to work nearly an hour early, and I'm literally here to stave off boredom. (Yes, I could do something more productive, but I get distracted easy and I would rather not risk clocking in late.)

I would suggest you also report that message and block them.

I would guess you (or your orders) no longer qualify. https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/4402267122449-Early-Payout

You want the truth? It'll hurt. But you have specifically asked for it. You are doing it wrong. This is your thirty-fifth topic in the forums. You clearly don't know the rules, either of the forums, or the basic theories of freelancing and entrepreneurship. I am not going to spend my time looking through all those threads to see what advice you've already been given, but I did glance at a few, and it is NOT my job to do your work for you. That said, this is also true: you can improve. It WILL be hard work. It WILL require sacrifice, of time at minimum. It WILL require a willingness to learn and adapt to other cultures. But it CAN be done.

Hidden tricks... How about, if a person's post contains fewer than 20 characters (like in the old forum), the post is automatically hidden and and counts double against a newcomer's post limit? And that old "your post is similar to your last post" limitation? I know it wouldn't solve much of anything, but as long as we're talking hidden mechanics... Actually, maybe not post limits, but newcomers cannot earn points for the first two or three months once the forum is joined? Remove the reward for negative behavior. Reinforcement theory, extinction. That would permit the people who need help to elaborate as needed.

Sadly, it's the kind of system you agreed to when you signed up, whether you knew about it or not. In the case of 1, you might have been able to ask support to cancel it for you without affecting your statistics, but it would have taken time and might not have worked. As for 2, there's really nothing you can do about that one, as the Buyer probably claimed the order wasn't to the specifications of your gig or the arrangements/agreements made in the order page. The good news is that those will stop affecting your account in 60 days. https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360010452537-Cancellations https://www.fiverr.com/support/articles/360010560198-Order-Completion-Rate-and-Cancellations-FAQ
