I was working with a client and delivered their order. The client mentioned they couldn't open the document because they were on a plane and didn't have a PC, so they asked me to send it via email. I agreed to share the document through email but made it clear that I only work through Fiverr and don't operate outside the platform. Now, my account is restricted, which is frustrating. I have always adhered to Fiverr's policies and consistently respected them. Here is my message to the client. "Please share the em#il with me. We only conduct business through this platform, so kindly avoid contacting or working with us outside of Fiverr." My only intention was to help my client. 

I received my first warning for delivering an empty order, even though the order was actually delivered through chat. This third warning was intended to help the client. Please help me, Fiverr. 

So, 2 out of 3 warnings were unintentional. I've completed over 200 orders and received nearly 100 reviews. I hope Fiverr will reconsider its decision. There have been numerous occasions where clients asked for direct contact, and I always avoided it because I know it's against Fiverr's policy. However, this one time, I made a mistake.
