Yeah I have a few questions that ask about certain requirements, but they are often skipped over...

Hi! I think a system where instead of buyers simply ordering from us without us knowing what is coming, we could instead have a queue of orders that we can accept, deny, or request revisions/additional info. A number of times now I have had new buyers order from me, having never spoken with me, and ordered either racist, uncomfortable, etc topics, or ordered in correctly taking advantage of not having a system like this in place. E.g. my gig is per 100 words, and I have clients that ordered 100 words, but submitted almost 300, and would have required commercial rights. In other words what should have been a $75 order was $15. My only recourse is to request the extras be purchased which I risk having the order cancelled (or if they don't respond, it turning late requiring me to request an extension.) OR (what I usually do) Take it on the chin, and in the delivery message note the "mistakes" and just say "next time please..." In short, if we could please have a system where buyers order, then sellers review and then approve, deny, or request updates, would be fantastic! Thanks, Chris

I think it would be great to be able to allow clients to accept custom offers while set to away. Especially because I would have to be the one to send the offer and not a client ordering off my gig page. An example of this being useful is, at the moment I am set to away so that I don't get flooded with work. We just got a new puppy and I have limited recording capabilities at the moment, but I can still record in small batches with repeat clients. (or if maybe someone messages me and we talk it out) Thanks, Chris

So yes, this does effect response rate! After a day or so my response rate dropped from 100% to 85% even though I couldn't even physically respond due to fiverr's system. I will be contacting support to fix this ASAP.

It wasn't spam though, it was someone asking for rates.

I got a message yesterday from someone who is set to "unavailable" until Dec, and because of this I can't respond...I just get the "cannot send message" error. Will this mess with my response rate? On a side note, if someone is set unavailable and I can't message them, they shouldn't be able to send messages either imo. Also the error message should be more specific and tell users why we can't respond instead of just "can't send the message"
