misscrystal Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I reported someone for copying my gig and the result was that my gig was removed for editing due to having my TRS badge in the image for it.If there had been a notification about this I would have edited it without needing for it to be removed for editing.So to anyone who reads this and has a badge in your gig images such as the TRS badge, it is no longer allowed.The person I reported still has my copied image plus the copied image of my top seller logo and his gig is still live. Iâm sure it will be gone soon.Apparently this is a new change. I found it listed in the learning section, under Images.This post should be pinned to the top for at least a few days so people have a chance to change their gig images. In some categories itâs very common to show badges in gig images. This makes TRS in particular vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they didnât enforce it, though, not if the badge reflected your level accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 I never looked at the articles in that fiverr learning area before because I thought reading the Terms of Service was enough. Iâm surprised to find I was actually breaking a rule without knowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socialhonor Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Itâs for all levels of seller - I had the same thing happen on two of my gigs, and the explanation is because levels change, so having a level image, may be misleading to a buyer!

uk1000 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Iâm sure I saw a badge in a video where the seller wasnât at the level it said in the gig video. Maybe the rule would apply to videos too, even though they donât say yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Itâs so common to see badges in gig images so I was surprised.I now see the person who had copied my gig has the part that was copied removed and his gigs are live. It was the same way with my images in his gigs this morning and now itâs gone. It looks like his gigs were updated in the last few hours and never were removed.Mine are still pending approval.Oddly enough he still has the big logo TOP RATED as one of his images although he is level zero. In my gig that was the only badge I had, not a fiverr badge, just a big gold star that says top rated. So I removed that am waiting. Maybe they didnât notice that in his.Iâve been reporting copies of my gig forever and this never happened. I happened to stumble across his copied gig of mine. I probably have other copycats of my gigs right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_maxell Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The logic is lost here. Apparently they want you to say âexclusively on Fiverrâ in your video commentary and plaster it on your gig thumbnail. Yet they donât want you to proudly display your gig badge in the same manner. This is a bit like driving around in a cop car and them taking away your sherrifs badge. If Iâm not âexclusively on Fiverrâ will they remove my gig for that? Who is Working for who here?There should be a new acronym for TRS âTotally Removed Soonâ.It would seem because of them being pro active on this that they expect peoples levels to drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
