Problems with new review rework

I have been banned from reviewing for six hours due to "some anomalies in your review behavior." The new system for reviewing waypoints is a thumbs up/ thumbs down, rather than the old 1 - 5 star for each category. I suspect the old system for detecting users that were not actually reviewing, was to see if they were giving the same star rating to every category across multiple posts. When actually reviewing, the user tends to give different star ratings (1-5) for each category. For example, "does this nomination promote exploration" could have 3 stars, but "is there historical or cultural significance" could be a five star. The problems arises when you take the old star detection system, and the new thumbs rating system. When one reviews multiple stops in a row that are all valid for waypoints, the system thinks they are just rushing through giving every nomination 5 stars. In addition to this, it seems you have removed the feature to give feedback when declining a review. Many of these POIs could have been great stops if the submitter had just included the significance to that location. Now these potential waypoint, an integral part of your company and games, no longer has the chance to exist. Wayfarer Niantic, please fix these issue as soon as possible, as it is affecting many users abilities to use your services.
