fayestap Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Let’s see if we can get organized enough to create a bit of a ripple.How many people are on board for a vacation day protest on July 1st? (I’ve chosen this day because Tuesdays are historically big sales days for me, and it gives us a little time to spread the word.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alliemadison12 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Tuesday, July 1st. I will spread the word. Everyone, do the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stop_it_man Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The consensus appears to be leaning toward July 1st. We need to get the word out. What is the best way to do that? Perhaps we should start a new thread with the headline “Vacation Day Protest, July 1st. Anti-Star Sellers unite!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaynesays Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I’m in! It was much better before. How would a seller even benefit from viewing a buyer’s rating? That doesn’t seem like an even trade off. They can still buy either way, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regency85 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 JULY FIRST - DEFINITELY!Why?Shhhhh…(July 1st is Canada Day. Which means that the country that makes the 3rd largest purchases of gigs on Fiverr in the World!.. will be on a national holiday. All the Canuck Buyers will be gone - thus “boosting” your efforts!)Shhhhh…😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldawnn Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Reply to @jaynesays: And, that’s a good point right there Jayne… what good is having a buyer rating if we have no option to accept or reject. They can still buy from us. And, if we don’t want to work for them, we have to go through the cancellation process… seems much unfair… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regency85 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Ahem!.. [clearing throat from whispering]… 😉Uh, yeah… I’m in.Even though I’m a Buyer-Only (and being a workaholic, I’ll probably be the only Canadian working online that day)……I will add my voice to this protest against Fiverr’s ARSe…:))…by refusing to buy ANY gigs, from Monday night (the 30th) through Wednesday morning (the 2nd), just in case.😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denntinz Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Count me IN! Thanks for organizing it too. The star system invites buyers to be overly critical of $5 gigs! That’s the price of a greeting card for crying out loud!Thanks for your work Faye! I’m 100% behind you 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahk26 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I’m in!!! I just got a “satisfactory experience” 3.5 stars from a buyer! I don’t know how else I could have made her experience better- I offered a free revision to her specifications (which she didn’t take or indicate that she wanted me to do it) and I gave her TWO free gig bonuses! No communication from her end either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fayestap Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 I want to be very clear about this.The purpose of this vacation day, is not to form a union or protest the entire Fiverr experience. I’m grateful for my time on Fiverr. I’ve had the opportunity to hone my skills in a way that only mass volume provides; I’ve met some amazing people, some of whom have become real life friends, and I’ve earned a significant amount of money.There is so much grumbling in the community at the moment, though, that I’m afraid people are going to start trickling away from Fiverr. We’ve all seen online communities rise and fall (sometimes within months). And as soon as sellers start leaving, buyers will leave, and Fiverr will no longer be a viable freelancing site.The purpose of the vacation day is to create a small ripple, to demonstrate what it might start to look like when unhappy sellers leave.

ahlaj77 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I’M IN!!! I’ll be sure to let my buyers know that I will be on “vacation” that week and just place on vacation mode. I’m in!! Lets do this i’m ready!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
