I do not wish to bore you all with how hard I worked to become a Level 2 seller or how many times I became Fiverr's Choice in a sub-category like Business Names and Slogans. I'm here to express my view of this new level system because, most probably, I will no longer be a Fiverr seller after March 15th. Because having a success score of 3 (just decreased from 4), my gigs will vanish from Fiverr listings soon, like everyone with a 4 or lower success score.

It's funny how Fiverr has given me the "Highly responsive!" status while decreasing my success score because my 

My completed to canceled order ratio is 247:14, almost all of which occurred from the buyers' side by placing orders by mistake. And Fiverr corrected my order completion back to 100% every time, proving that there was no fault of mine. Yet my 

I have earned a total of 116 reviews, consisting of 107 5-stars, eight 4-stars, and one 1-star, from the 247 orders I completed. So, my 

 having a strong negative impact on gigs is highly doubtful. However, I don't have a say in this metric because I do not know how my clients rated me on their private feedback.

My first guess was that this irrational Success Score calculation was done by an erroneous AI. But I argued Fiverr couldn't make such a mistake. Only then did it occur to me.

Constructive termination is a situation where the employee is forced to leave or quit his/her job not because they want to, but because of the employer’s conduct. The resignation could be the result of bad working conditions or changes in terms of employment which leave the employee with no other choice but to quit.

 And kudos to Fiverr for achieving their goal.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I had a good run, and I'm sure gonna miss it. But like every other good thing, this also must come to an end.
