Should I try changing my review/rating on Upwork? And if so, where to start?

Question

Freelance

I will formulate briefly, maybe this will help to get specific answers.
Finished upwork. The work was difficult - a lot of additional requirements, sometimes the requirements changed to the opposite in the process of work. I got 3 points, although I did what I needed and even more (in fact 2 weeks, according to the tracker 25 hours). After the completion of the work, the customer continued to send tasks for revision. Offered him to do some of them for free if he improved the review. Tasks done - review has been corrected. However, when I refused the next one, I don’t remember what number of edits the customer changed the review again, already without my participation, and for the worse.
actually questions:
1. How can I change the assessment without asking for it from the opposite side?
2. Is it really impossible to change a private review once you leave it?
3. Can I fight if I provide Skype / email correspondence proving that:
• the tasks were larger than originally stated
• the tasks changed to the opposite in the process of work (literally!)
• I was offered to work bypassing the upwork through paypal (even when I indicated , that's against the rules.)
• I got a 3 for availability while responding ALWAYS promptly.
Thank you for your attention.
Z.Y. Actually, it's a funny situation. I'm doing a big project that costs more than 20 times the amount of this work. It is clear that the customer of a large project is satisfied, otherwise, we would not have worked for so long. But since the big project is not finished, it does not affect JS, but every penny small thing does. Where is the logic?
ZYZY My English is terrible.

Answer 1

Solution:
It turned out that I was almost top rated. I received a couple of certificates, completed the profile, added a php test and got the status. All top rated can cancel any review once a quarter (after 10 completed tasks). Which is what I did.
Voila.

Answer 2

Hahaha, broke while reading)
Very funny story.
1) It is worth understanding one thing - you can’t try to negotiate with such clients, you will receive a different review, and so on. It's like on the Internet if you say heresy, then they will vilify you and calm down, but if you start floundering, then this will not stop. He will push and push with edits - leeches and so on
2) It's much easier to refound and delete a review and just forget, believe me - time heals and lets everyone go
3) In fact, there is no disaster in such a review - yes, it's not super, but not the end of the world.
I've seen 100 times how freelancers are
hired with bad reviews and without any problems

Answer 3

On upwork, you can delete one review from an inadequate customer through the support, even there was some kind of special email, it’s not a problem to find it on the toaster,
so in your case nothing terrible happened

Answer 4

How can you change your rating without being asked to do so by the opposite side?

Are you sure you didn't give the customer the opportunity to change the review? Or did you open once, he changed the review, but then changed it again? If so, then try to write to support with clarification why this happened - recently I decided to ask those in advance about this. support, and here is our correspondence:
Me:

1. Client leaves me feedback
2. Client wants to change feedback
3. I allow him to do so
4. Client change feedback
...some time has passed...
5. Client again changes feedback.
5 - its real?
Support:
Do not know. Please describe the problem in more detail.
Can. Moreover, they do not take money for the demand.
Should have snitched right away, first. Otherwise, you yourself may be blocked if there is a suspicion that you left to work direct. Then, of course, they will unblock it, but it will be unpleasant, and for 90 days the information that you were in the block is stored in the statistics, as a result of which you cannot get achievements about the beginner talent and about the top rating.
In any case, I advise you to always write to the support service.

Answer 5

Offered him to do some of them for free if he improved the review.

Don't tell UpWork support about this when you write about fixing the review.
This is a direct violation.

Answer 6

Do not look for logic where there is none, especially on upwork.
Regarding the removal - only top rated has this function, once in 10 projects, if you do not fit these parameters, then alas.

Answer 7

Y-yes ... Few of you were beaten in kindergarten for "knocking is not good" ;-)
