This is not a personal problem, it is a general problem.
Top rated plus freelancers work with less clients for long-term works. Therefore we are top rated plus! Top rated plus mean is we are work for long-term.
- When we accept a job, if client is a bad person. It is impossible to understand this at first. Then when we decided the end of the contract or refund all money, it still affect our JSS (success rate).
- All top rated plus freelancers should send feedback about it, if they don't fix it, we can't protect our success rates, and everyone can attack our profiles.
- It shouldn't affect our JSS success rate. Or Upwork should give more jss delete rights,
- 1 jss delete right is not enough, it should be more for us! We don't have to complete 10 job for it! we are top rated plus and we should work with less client!
- You have to protect our rights a little.
JSS rights weren't like this before. The old rules were better.
I would be happy if top rated plus friends send feedback on this topic!
Thank you.
I'm TR+ and I disagree with you completely. I would never have achieved success here, much less acquired the fancy badges, if I couldn't recognize bad clients from the get-go, at least 90% of the time; and manage client relationships so they are sustainable for long periods without turning sour. I've been here nearly five years, have been Top Rated since my 17th week, have never refunded a fee and never needed to remove client feedback (yet, knock on wood).
Being recognized as a top freelancer has to mean you don't need to be propped up with special considerations, e.g. bad feedback not counting toward your JSS. It has to mean you are able to weather the occasional negative outcome without it completely undermining your position, and continue earning for yourself and the platform. The fb removal perk is just that, a perk we have earned that can be a handy shortcut available on an occasional basis, not an everyday survival tool.
