  1. No, you aren't alone, and a number of other people have expressed that they are in the same or similar situation. I'm a level 2 with 9/5/100% stats, only one promoted order from a new client since 3/14, and five since 2/14. I'm still getting messages, but it's typically from middlemen cattle calling for free custom samples and they can't even share what the budget or scope of work is, or read my FAQ about it.
  2. Oddly, my comment about their biggest investors along with their ties to a specific global collective of mogul financiers was deleted, as was a comment from @levinewman.
  3. Maybe it's a freelancer phycological health and safety credit gain, sort of like carbon credits but where damage done to mental health via the platform is magically erased by the initiative.
  4. Thank you, again. That's pretty much what I have at the moment and it hasn't led to more information about their needs.
  5. Your scores are terrific. The riddle's becoming even more complex. My stats aren't far from yours and I've had the same experience. There are more people outside of this thread, with no indication that their stats had shifted unfavorably, who've reported the same phenomena.
  6. Now that we have the auto-reply option, I'm just wondering how effective people think it is. I've had it on for a while and find it annoying, but maybe I'm just (getting old) using it wrong. @uk1000, may I ask what you have in yours? Also, the reason I searched for this topic is that I can't figure out where to edit or turn it off because it's been about 9 months since I created it.
  7. The person you are replying to has barely any order history in the six years they've been on the site.
  8. Hello! Some of the text on your gig thumbnails is entirely too small to read on a PC so I can only imagine it being nearly invisible via mobile. Also, some of it is cut off because it's too close to the edges. They also look like you used a template and didn't change it much. "Us" is everywhere. Are you a team or an individual freelancer? Then there's the gig photo of a laptop. I'm not sure if that's very attention-grabbing.
  9. It seemed like it might even apply to instances where the buyer might not even know you are reaching out to CS and you are only looking for advice about a potential conflict in regards to a specific order. It does state in the TOS that they want conflicts to be handled without CS involved, basically.
  10. There seem to be more inquiries like this recently and I'm wondering whether or not there can be any recourse if the buyers do contact CS first and receive a refund. Also, there's a "conflict" aspect of gig success scores where it's been mentioned by staff on the forum that reaching out to CS about a potential conflict could impact it. Have you experienced that?
  11. it doesn't seem like your ticket's been escalated to the tech-centric among CS.
  12. The little that's come to my inbox has all been custom sample inquiries and no one wants to share what their budget is, or, in most cases, the scope of their project. I don't think they even listen to what I have posted. Whereas, prior to this month people would listen to what I had posted and place an order, which is why I thought RTO would be a detriment to me. Yes!!! For me it's a plentiful copy/paste without the most important elements, then they get thrown off when I start asking questions! Is that still happening and what browser are you using? All of my gigs have videos so that would...not be at all beneficial. I've had a gig drop off the face of Fiverr for a long while after heavy editing, then never rebound when reverted back. But, then again, there are so many other moving parts to not know how they might be affecting things. When it's in my peripheral vision it's moving very quickly but the more I center on it I can make it stop entirely. That's a trippy, neat little doohickey.
  13. I had a FC gig for a while, too, but it dropped off maybe because people want that annoying, fake cheerleader type of phone greeting that I personally want to hang up on and have buried in my gallery. Maybe overall the world's depressed and it's assumed what's needed is the bubbly, high-pitched, energetic sound that has never genuinely been a part of my being and isn't on most of my gigs. I do have to take into account market changes--on top of Fiverr riddles. It's just that the timing is interesting. Did you have a bundle of orders that concluded without reviews and/or auto-completed prior to the drop off? I have had a couple copy/paste 'calls for auditions' from Pro and Enterprise buyers in messages, where they don't provide the scope of work or a budget then get miffed when I ask them questions. It blows my mind. Who in their right mind would do free work without knowing these things? Plus, all it takes is 30 seconds of audio to create a terrible clone. Anyhoo, are you in a crack, too?
  14. You have no history in the Fiverr marketplace, so your advice is probably based on what an influencer told you and not personal experience. It's advice that Fiverr staff has debunked on the forum. Maybe consider devoting your active time on the forum to learning, rather than commenting with advice.
  15. Check to see if people giving you advice on the forum have any order history in the marketplace. You've been given advice that has been debunked several times by Fiverr Staff.
