I was emailing back and forth with support and had them explain the new leveling system to me. When I emailed them back and said:
"So essentially the Fiverr Score is a curved grade?" (because of basing YOUR score off of OTHER PEOPLES.)
The reply I got this morning was from Jean at Customer Support, here is what she had to say.
"Hi,
Jean here this time.
That would be correct, might not be the literal meaning of that but something of that is the case with the new leveling system.
If you need anything else let me know."
Im a little shocked that they flat out say "yes its a curved grade". If you are familiar with Schools grading on a curve, its a truly terrible scope.
