Where have all the speedies gone?
I'm still new to VB but seem to have been steadily receiving at least speedy invitations and occasional backup contests up until today. I had a few client rejections, so I got a bit more selective recently. I did one speedy yesterday which was accepted, but the client asked for the file to be made longer. I completed that revision in about half an hour (picking my kids up from school) but today it looks like I went from the top 25% to the bottom 33% in the response speed category of my stats. Could this be why I haven't gotten any invitations today?
I know the response to my very first project revisions was slow; it was a 2100 word project split into a few dozen files (I didn't realize that until I tried to submit it.... oops!) and although I got the first files in overnight, I was traveling for two days after that and couldn't submit more revisions immediately. If this project is now being counted in my response time stat and costing me invitations, could it maybe be ignored from my stats, now that I'm a much smarter, better bunny?? Or if there's another reason that I'm suddenly not getting invited to any projects, could someone educate me about it (and/or anything else I should know)?
Thank you!

Hi Randall
Thanks for sharing your case.
I'm checking your stats and I see that, in regards to Speedy projects, you have 3 rejections from our clients. This does lower your ranking quite a bit as other pros who haven't gotten any rejections or have less than you will get the invitations first. This doesn't mean that you won't see invitations, but you will see fewer as these rejections lower your position in our algorithm.
You will be able to review invitations so I suggest you are a bit more careful when accepting the projects. Keep in mind the purposes you're the best at and try accepting those. This way, you can increase your ranking by getting more accepted recordings.
Hope this helps!
