Giving discounts because someone's currency isn't worth much is a deep hole that will be hard to crawl out of. This "buyer" will expect discounts on any future order they make with you.
I would imagine that you set your prices on your Gig(s) to suit your level of talent, experience and what you need to make in order to live. You set your prices, not the buyer. There are plenty of buyers here who troll the new accounts looking for hungry sellers who will be likely flogged to death with revisions, and continued "discounts" because they are "poor" or their currency is in the toilet.

I also messaged some of the sellers with my seller account.
Why are you messaging other sellers? Are you intending to buy their services? If not, your messages are probably being marked as spam and YES, this CAN affect your account. In fact, get reported for sending messages (unsolicited) to other sellers (unless you are asking to buy something they sell) enough times, and your account will be banned.

Yes, the cancelled order will be disappeared. But what about the gig ranking ?
Whenever you cancel an order (or the buyer does) it will affect your ranking in the pages. Your analytics will be affected - your completion rate if you have not had a completed order yet, will probably be at 0% - so, yes, you do get punished for something that may have been out of your control.
There were a couple of things you could have done to deal with this buyer. First, you could have used the Resolution Center to extend the delivery time due to a lack of information to start on the order. Second, if they did not respond to that, you can reach out to customer service and explain that you have an order that does not have requirements to get started if ask them to cancel the order so it will not affect your stats or ranking here. Sounds like you did reach out to customer service, but, you may have not explained properly or they just didn't understand what it is you needed.
A cancelled order does not just disappear. It will be reflected in your "completed orders' stats for the next 60 days. The only way to overcome your stats from tanking, is to complete orders so that you can bring it back up.
You may want to look at your requirements page and make sure that you are clear on what it is you need before starting an order.

Unfortunately, if you and your buddies are on the same IP address and also offering the same services (Gigs in the same categories), Fiverr will assume it is one person with more than one account.
All you can do is contact Fiverr and let them know your situation and see if there is a workaround. I doubt it though.
OR you all could offer Gigs in different categories.
Here is where you can contact Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/support_tickets/new

As mentioned, just because you made 20k or fulfill the requirements to qualify for consideration to be a TRS, it does not automatically occur like other levels do. There is a lot more behind the scenes that goes on in how Fiverr staff chooses who to level up to this rank.
Think of TRS and fulfilling the requirements as if you received a credit card promotion in the mail: you have been selected to apply because you meet the criteria, but, until they actually review your credit (or here, it would be your account, statistics etc) you are not approved. Best analogy I could come up with. If you are to make TRS, you then have to maintain all of the standards to keep that level - which can be a struggle if you have a month of cancellations, someone rating you low or who knows what.
Here is a link to read about levels:

Try to send a cold message to 5 -10 your previous clients who know you very well and have a mutual understanding between both. Saying you would love to work with them if they have work for you etc..make a convincing story but acceptable.
You must be new.
DO NOT advise this person to send a "cold message" to a previous buyer asking them for orders or work. Why? Because, if for some reason, he were to message the one buyer who is having a bad day or is annoyed by the message, his message can be marked as SPAM by that previous buyer and he will definitely see his Gigs tank further than they have already. Being reported for UNSOLICITED messages can also get his account a warning, prevent him from leveling up as well as impact his placement in the listings. If enough people who receive his "plea" for orders report him, his account could be restricted or even banned.
Do NOT message anyone here out of the blue - only RESPOND to a message sent to you recently.

to stay awake at night mostly which is extremely harmful for our body.
What about those of us who are nocturnal? I have never been a "day" person - I always am more awake and productive at night. I would say that if those who are awake during the day AND trying to stay up late at night doing Fiverr, this could be harmful as they are not resting their body, but, everyone has their own internal clock.
I have been a night person since I was young. I can see though, where some on your side of the world may think they need to be awake during the daytime here in the U.S., but, this is not always true.

I know this from CS communication
Ok, so provide receipts of your "communication with CS" where they explicitly TOLD YOU that by posting in the forum you would be chosen for TRS or your chances are higher.
And, since you seem to want to peddle your theory over and over, are you a TRS?
I know you didn't want anyone to "question your authority on the subject" but, last time I checked, the forum was for discourse, not for people to make unsubstantiated claims and then run off saying they do not want to be proven wrong.

Do you even know what impressions on the site means?
Seems you do not. It has NOTHING to do with flogging your Fiverr link on social media.

So, you are saying you contacted this person OFF site? You are lucky you didn't get a warning. Do not do this.
Also, yes, of course this person is a scammer. Who the heck sends someone else money to "insure" they will do the work or whatever her scam was?
I would have suggested you report this buyer and block, but, I wouldn't recommend drawing attention to your account if it is seen you did contact her via the outside app/contact they gave.

fiverr forum helps sellers to get client
Most here in the forum are going to be sellers whining about how they are not getting any sales...so, if you are hoping that by posting in the forum it will somehow attract a buyer, think again.
There will always be that one guy who says he gets tons of business by posting in the forums. OK. Good for them.
But, generally speaking, what you can get from the forum is advice, tips and learn how to become successful here.

Hi all.. can I share my link on fiverr forum for get suggestions? If I share my gig link What effect will this have?
You are only supposed to share your Gig link in the "My Fiverr Gigs" category - some share there Gig link in "Improve My Gig" as well.
If you think sharing your Gig link on the forums is going to get you impressions or sales, you may want to rethink your strategy.
Most people in the forum are sellers, not buyers.

Wait, wait, wait for it...I am sure at least one contributor will come in and flog their informative post about how much money they have made by posting on the forum.
I think I hear the door opening now!
Being on the forum is to gain information. IF you happen to get an order from another poster or forum visitor, then, lucky you. But, it is not a common occurrence. No matter what some "seasoned" forum member(s) want to feed you. More empty calories.

I grew up with dogs
I grew up with dogs too. My mother had a strange aversion to cats, but never explained why.
So, when I moved out when still in high school, one of the first things I added to my apartment was a cat named Priscilla.
Now I have a dog that is elderly (14 blind and deaf) that has been with me since she was 6 months old and 4 cats. I have had 2 cats pass on in the last 2 years - one was 20 years old and the other was 16. 3 of the cats I have now were feral/strays who were hanging out in the alley by my house. I think someone dumped them - and it took me over a year to get each one of them (at different times) to trust me. Now they are house cats and I am so lucky to have them!
Dogs do take a bit more of your attention - you do need to walk them, interact and keep them busy if they are a high energy breed. I can see the comparison to having a child! I had 3 children so...having a dog was way easier!
I could NEVER live without a pet! (or children)

Being an active member on forums earn you a badge which is very helpful too.
Oh, do explain how on earth earning forum badges is very helpful?
Have you actually READ the posts some who have advanced badges have written? Most are space fillers, sawdust sandwiches and empty calories.
Having a "badge" of any sort on the forum, whether a newbie badge or Master has nothing to do with your selling ability on the Fiverr site.
Looks like more people need to take a seat.

order?
in Gig Advice
Looks like someone just wants quick and easy cash.
Not how it works here.
Besides, even IF we were to give you the hottest thing to sell here and you created a Gig, what happens when you have absolutely NO idea how the heck to complete the Gig to the level it should be?
The above "categories" listed of hot selling Gigs are ALL in categories that are overly populated.

Obviously, reading comprehension for the guy who received a message from Fiverr telling him to go and participate in the forums is lacking.
If you read it correctly, it basically says that there are lots of tips on how to establish yourself as a seller here.
It then goes on to give the LINK to the "Tips for Sellers" category of the forum - so, the customer service person was NOT sending you here to post nonsense thinking this will get you orders, they were sending you to the specific category that may offer you some TIPS from seasoned (knowledgeable) sellers.
As for the bright bulbs who keep saying it has to do with getting TRS status, please take a seat in the back. We will call on you when we need you.

Ask what exactly please?
Is deleting a Gig the best solution, especially when it's seriously selling?
Please do not take that guys "advice". Heck, I highly doubt the pic they use is them.
Do NOT delete a Gig that is "seriously selling". Does that even make sense? No, it does not.
As others have said, Gigs rotate and you have already used the link and see your Gig(s) are active.
