Non stop cool downs

I have been hitting a cool down every day multiple times per day since the new roll out. Today I measured it, I started reviewing at 8:45 and by 9:41 I was cooled down during that time I had reviewed 38 nominations. I took two short breaks during this time, I reported 3 for abuse, marked a few as duplicates, a skip, and several approvals and rejections. I slowly hit one thumbs up at a time on approvals and carefully scrutinized my rejections.
My last review I had switched out to campfire as I got a notification from that and when I came back I slowly approved the gazebo and then promptly got a cool down. I receive no warning or notice before I am cooled down for 6 hours, I have no hope of getting my own nominations into voting without an upgrade and yet someone's Domino's pizza sign is in voting and I get penalized for rejecting it too quickly

I have been getting a lot of cooldowns since the system changed. I am reviewing similarity to how I reviewed for the past eleven months, and I probably got more cooldowns this week then I did for the past eleven months.
I also hit cool down today, after 62 reviews. I never hit a cool down before the past 8 weeks.
Generally the number of Accepted + rejected+ duplicate has drastically dropped down after the update.
Before the update i could a daily average of 32 for ( Accepted + rejected+ duplicate) for an average of 125 daily review .. now i down to 5 for 70 daily review
I've now had a cooldown 3 times out of a total of 200 reviews within a very short time. Then I stopped evaluating completely for 2 days and immediately got a 24 hour cooldown without doing anything.
So it's no fun to evaluate anymore
If you are getting 6 hour+ cooldowns, the most likely reason is that you are just using the first 2 options (thumbs up and thumbs down). You need to start using the "I don't know" option regularly. For example if the description is meh, but not bad enough to reject, you can select "I don't know" for the third option and select Description.
thanks for the answer. i think that has nothing to do with it. i use the thumbs up and thumbs down function, and i also use the "i don't know" function. there i also explain why i use the "i don't know" button whenever possible.
Oh ****. Another 12 hour cooldown. This is such a waste of time. Not going to bother anymore until they sort this out. Again pattern cooldown. Doesn't matter what way you answer. If the bloody answers are limited to a set range and there is nothing wrong with the nomination then it will be answered the same way. I rejected a few, suggested edits on a few, passed a few, used dont know on some of them because there wasn't a clear answer or option to make our own answer. I'm not going to reject someones nomination just to break a pattern. 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Hit my first cooldown while using the changed review system after only reviewing 2 entries. No pre warning, no nothing. What can I do to prevent such?
Stop doing reviews. Clearly they don’t want us to.
This is just fantastic (irony)
Because of these lovely cooldowns I've now been upgraded from a Good to a Fair reviewer (still irony)
Now I can't wait 'til I'll be banned from reviewing. What an upgrade that'll be (thick irony)
