Maybe clients you turned down gave you 1 stars or what ever.

Do you think it was chat bots? These automated fraud detection system are a nightmare.

I did some jobs at elance as a student. You could feel how the platform was on the side of the work buyers. I stopped trying making money there after a dispute with a SEO dude over payment for some text where he wanted me to do another one before I got payed ... luckely the money (30 USD) was in escrow for me and I actually got it from elance, but it's a buyers market.

They can't give me one star if I did not start contract with them. I need to accept contract to be able to affect JSS
Maybe the platform thinks you accepted those contracts off the platform.
