I really don't want to receive upgrades most of the time

I just got two rejections from 2 nominations I think are okay enough, I got upgrades this pass week on them, I thought at least I could sub something before the second came but nominations are still down on pogo. So I am wqlaiting for 7 nominations to get back and I lost 2 because of the forced upgrade. There should be a way to only use it when we want to. I will have to stop voting because I'm afraid of getting an upgrade.

Can you at least share your nominations so we can see if they would pass or not?
But indeed, they could change the system so that upgrades are only applied when you click the upgrade next button
Hello @CarolFig1607-PGO and @Thor3381-ING,
Thank you for your feedback. I will make sure that this feedback makes it back to our team.
One solution that reviewers have proposed is only applying an upgrade if the nomination is marked as upgrade next. Otherwise, bank the upgrade.
It feels like the random upgrade apply is a holdover from before we had upgrade next.
Ugh, i know the feeling. I've wasted 3 upgrades on a dog park... That has been rejected for PRP, then not existing twice. It's what we call the "upgrade curse". Also had a sign marked as a duplicate of another sign 3 times. But when I have a huge backlog of upgrades from reviewing and challenges and only 7 submissions every 2 weeks everything I have gets upgraded.
I know there was talk about a "don't upgrade" button and better management of nominations addressed even before the "end of summer lookback" THat will be great when that happens
Here's a previous post from NianticCasey that's advised us about working on upgrades back in April. Hopefully these are still baked into future changes as we progress into the second half of 2021:

Hey, @NianticTintino.
Not sure if you'd be able to give specific advice or feedback but I was wondering what the Wayfarer team have said about this? We're one last month into this year, are these larger changes that NianticCasey advised to us still a thing? I see nothing from Danbocat's recent updates, so I assume this was shelved.
I have one outstanding nomination, "In Queue", from October 5th.
I don't want to earn an upgrade, because it would go to that one. I'd rather use upgrades on more recent nominations. But with COVID, the loss of my mom, and Thanksgiving, I haven't gotten out there to nominate lately. I would review more if I could save any upgrade for a new nomination.
@MargariteDVille-ING Depending on how close you are to an upgrade and how many outstanding reviews you have you might get one anyway. My current experiment isn't complete yet but the data show that agreements come in rapidly for about three weeks, then still come in regularly until around 90 days. After that they start tapering off but in my current experiment the most recent agreement showed up at 144 days. Today is day 156 since I stopped reviewing so that I could gather these data.
