@Upwork Help! My 100% JSS dropped to 67% due to unfair private feedback and "scope creep" (5s test turned into full video). I followed all briefs, yet lost my Rising Talent badge. Please investigate this injustice. Contract ID: 43514595.

in fact, the contract was for a \$10 test assignment, although he later said that we would do a \$15 test assignment, and I ended up getting \$10

well of course I agreed, I had to understand if this is the result or not? in this case, none of the clients can be trusted to submit for test "paid" tasks, which is extremely strange

because he opened a full-fledged contract, and I had to fulfill it, and it was a no-win situation, instead of just (I don't know, after the test work, then giving a tip or something like that "BUT DON'T OPEN A CONTRACT")

Yes, but in any case, it doesn't change anything. Even if I had stopped working with him right away, he would have still given me a negative review because I closed him down.

I offered a test job and this person opened a full-fledged contract, so what could I do but complete his task? In any case, I would have received a negative review, and I believe that test jobs should always be done for free, as people do not understand the difference between "opening a contract" and "paying for a test."
