    I feel sorry for anyone who deleted gigs with positive reviews hoping it would bring down their score. We were outright lied to about this. I don't excuse staff being confused. This was a calculated move to remove lower-performing gigs to make room in the search.

    OMG this sucks, I was just about to delete my one and only gig. What's up with the fiverr Cs, are these people high or what ?

    I appreciate that. My prices were $75 to $150 per gig until the beginning of this month. My sales were awful last month for the first time ever. I usually spend $40 in promotions and make over $3k from them alone and last month I spent $180 in promotions and made $190. I cut my rates in hopes of revitalizing my gigs. I even reverted my best-selling Pro gig to a standard gig because it wasn't even getting impressions anymore. 

    Fiverr accounts for 1/3 of my total income in Voiceover as I make most of my $$$$$ directly, but that 1/3 is a lot and I need to make up for it before I can say goodbye to Fiverr.

    I can relate I used to be at first page, was earning good because I am the best in my category got shadowbanned 6 months ago still stuck at back. Spent $150 on promotions this month, and made nothing.

     

    From next month I won't be able to promote as well because success score is way too low.

    If I'm shadowbanned, that would be the icing on this c**p cake.

    I've done nothing that could get me shadow-banned unless I'm not being punished for my negative opinion about the new update in the forum.  Try searching with the terms: "Deep Trailer Voice" "Movie Trailer Voiceover", and "Southern Accent Voiceover" and see what comes up. I usually hit first page results

    Okay you are not shadowbanned, your ads are also running well. Your gigs are showing on the first page.

    But I want to be very honest with you, I am on Fiverr from the last 5 years. I looked at every Gig in your niche and What I saw is that nobody has a lot of orders. Even when I searched for just voice over, only 1 guy had over 12 orders and only because he was selling for 10 bucks.

    For the quality you are giving out, fiverr is not the right place, I know it might hurt because you have worked hard over the years, but it's not.

    Plus, AI is also a big factor now days, Hopefully you know What I am talking about.

    In the last 2 weeks I've seen a significant drop in sales. I used to receive 2-5 inquiries per day and now I'm getting one a week. Losing TRS isn't simple losing a badge, I lose my 7 day payment clearance along with same day payout. I also lose those buyers who filter their search to TRS. If Fiverr loves ppl like me, then why the punishment? I see ppl with 4.8 ratings, 98% completion rates scoring a 10/10 while I have 100% across the board and 5 star with over 2000 completed jobs. I never had a 1 or 2 star review and the only 3 star I have is from buyer who didn't get a bunch of free services after receiving a 50% discount. I've never been late on an order, I've never refused a revision and I have an 8/10 with no way of fixing it. So to you it may be "just a level" to me it's was grinding my butt off day after day, bending over backwards, quitting my day job before I was 100% sure. I take it personally, because it is.

    Have you only received orders through promotes gigs ? I tried looking for your gig and could not find it anywhere near the first page, You might be shadowbanned.

    I wish it were so simple. I'm losing my TRS rank because of a single digit in my Success Score. I have never delivered anything subpar to any customer. I deliver on time. I let them know what is going on with their order every single day they wait for theirs to come into the queue. I answer all messages immediately even when I get the notification while I'm sleeping. I ALWAYS overdeliver. There is rarely a week that goes by that one of my gigs is not a buyer's choice or featured. Am I just collateral damage? I don't feel like it's a good thing.

    Why not just penalize those accounts who are guilty of such? 

    Trust Me you won't be penalized it's just a level it doesn't define your work or standard, Yeah it may give you a badge + some other features also, great features I would say. But at the end of the day, we are here to make money, right ? So I would say stop caring about it. I am very sure Fiverr loves people like you. So yeah, with the passing time you will be a TRS again. If you are not getting any work then I would say fiverr has really penalized you, is that the case rn ?
