I had a gig denied about a half an hour ago, while I was in the middle of editing it. The gig had been live for over 3 months, with no problems. 

I was editing it while it was live, and made a few small changes a few minutes apart. I did not notice that the gig was denied until about 30 minutes after it happened. 

The message I got was that my gig was denied for a violation of community standards, but I do not understand which standard is the problem. My changes were minor wording, and I do not believe I ever changed the wording in a way that offered a prohibited service, was inappropriate, or caused risk to anyone. They were all very standard wordings that I have seen in other similar gigs (which are for file conversion of manuscripts or documents to ePub ebooks). 

Should I be making my gig inactive first, before editing, to prevent some sort of problem with causing fiverr to frequently redo their automated checks? Is there some other key to avoiding this problem in future? I have also reached out to support about this, but if the community has any advice about best practices, I'm happy to hear them. Thank you!
