kamilturk Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I can’t tell from what you are showing that you agreed or not to something not allowed.The guy contacted me and offered his skpe username to discuss some project with me there. I replied : no i will not discuss there. i will discuss here. And then i supposed what was his project about - to create an acc on Upwrk. And the name of that web-site turned out to be in Fiverrs black list so they detected this message as susupcious. Now I dont know what will happen… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I dont know what will happen…I don’t think Fiverr is gonna penalize you for merely mentioning their competitor.However, I think one of those messages (where you called the person out for being from a particular country/race) has a slight racist innuendo attached to it. I am not sure if that would be the reason why Fiverr might choose to penalize you. :thinking:You also presumed that the prospective buyer was looking for an upw… account without their mentioning it. 😿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 When I get one of those messages I write “no” and report it as spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I said that, no racism for sure.I would suggest that you don’t make assumption and definitely don’t refer to your assumptions when speaking to potential buyers. Whether you meant for it to be offensive or not, it did sound that way. Since you were also the first to mention upwork, you probably got flagged both that and for talking to another user in a biased/unprofessional way. If you don’t get in trouble for it just be more careful. Treat Fiverr as a business and treat people with respect when possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you didn’t confirm they were a scammer before talking to them about the upw*** account. You presumed they were scammers. What if they weren’t?Just cuz a lot of scammers contacted you from a particular country, it doesn’t automatically make EVERYONE from that country a scammer. You get my point, right? 🙂When the person asked you to contact them outside Fiverr, you coulda just ended the conversation by saying that you didn’t wanna do that since it’s against ToS.

misscrystal Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 It’s outrageous to say to someone “you are from xyz country. I know what you want. Everyone from there wants an u**** account.” It’s not professional and it’s insulting and prejudiced against people from that country. It makes no difference if they are spammers. It’s just not a nice way to talk to anyone. How you communicate is really important. People do get banned for talking that way sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
