    • Chris, no one is insulting you. It's just a forum and people express their suggestions. Just like in real life, not everyone will agree with everything, it's human nature. And the same thing here, I for one agree that the success score system is not perfect. It uses a lot of private data, and we don't have access to that. On the other hand, it does show more info and stats that we had before as a seller.  Based on my experience though, within 10 years whenever Fiverr changed something, few to no changes were made after the fact based on user feedback. So while it's great to have people ask for changes, historically Fiverr doesn't really make any major modifications. And to be honest, since the success score release... there was significant outrage for half a month, and since then things calmed down. Customers got accustomed to the new review system, sellers started understanding the new success score. You will see some topics here and there stating people are upset because their success score is going down. But as I said in my other posts, I hope this topic will be seen by someone at Fiverr and it fulfills the purpose of the OP. Unfortunately I doubt anyone with deciding power like the CEO or shareholders browse the forum. That's why many suggestions are shared with Fiverr staff, yet they never get implemented. I specifically requested to all Fiverr staff I could get in touch with to allow us a way to lock gig packages, so people won't buy more than 1x the gig package, right now people can buy 20x that gig package if they want and the deadline is still for 1x. Obviously, that is a huge issue if someone either makes an order by mistake or they actually think you can do 20x the work in 1x and not 20x the time. I suggested that thing 6+ years ago, many times since then, but it wasn't implemented, even if other freelancing sites have it.  So yeah, don't think anyone is shutting people down. I, for one, added a touch of realism based on my experience and what I suggested. Even in this case, Fiverr is clearly taking a stance against low quality sellers, since they tried to find ways in order to have way less people with perfect 5 star ratings and level 2. They focus a lot on private metrics and that is one of the reasons why success scores vary so much, it's more than just public data.  PS: Writers tend to reply more because we have a tendency to write more than most people, it's in our DNA. However, we are all a positive community here and we want everyone to achieve success. Realistically though, there are tons of meksells, people that just come here to make money without any skill, and which manipulate the systems to their benefit. It's one of the main reasons why the platform is bogged down with 5 star gigs, even if the skills of those people are questionable. But with reviews for canceled orders, the new review system and success score, you see a lot of those accounts slowly getting pushed back and not being in the spotlight. I can only assume that's why they made such changes, because many buyers were complaining about their inability to choose a professional. It's sad that there are also other victims, people with genuine skill that also end up affected by the changes, either by random cancellations or people not reading gig info, etc. So hopefully they revamp that in the future.
