Its been over a week since your last comment on this, could you provide an update to the community?
I have 6363 reviews completed and a 64.5% agreement rate and for the first time I just dropped from green to yellow. I want to review to gain upgrades and work on my recon badge, but I’m not willing to risk my rating dropping any further.
Please update us, your faithful reviewing community.
I did 25 reviews. Still in green for the moment. I'll give it some time to see if it drops.
Same too...
I went from green to yellow in the past week. My agreement percentage has not changed much. 4760 reviews total.
Same for me. Got stuck below red, re-loading/logging doesn't help.
Though my overall rating was pretty poor in the first place, largely because many of the local reviewers are heavily anti-playground. Whereas I keep rating them by the guidelines, which hurts my approval%.
Has niantic checked to see if the new honeypot submissions in the system are rated correctly? They hinted that new ones were added after all the complaints over "unfair" rejections, some of which were valid but many not. If these new honeypots are wrong by their own rules this would explain how when we vote to their specifications we fail these and our score drops.
Last I also faced the same problem.but anyone know how to solve that issue??
Also happened to me. Was green 3 or 4 days ago, deep in the red now. I think I'll stop reviewing for a bit until this is sorted out.
I have speculated that there were more pre-reviewed nominations in the system, but Niantic has yet to confirm or deny it.
Caí a rojo.... Pero acumulo 2 mejoras ya, quien entiende?
After level 11/39 players got access yesterday I gave it another try, following the rules/tips here: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/2307/resources-for-new-reviewers
Earned 7 agreements, rating still green :)
I join the club. After beeing green for several years, my rating changed between yellow and green several times in the last week and now I'm in red. I did not change my review style so there must be something else going on.
As many other I will stop reviewing for now. I doubt that the quality of new portals will improve with level 11 players now getting access to replace the large number of experienced reviewers frustrated by the sudden drop of their rating🤷♀️.
It seems like skips majorly hurt your rating now. Since mine dropped from yellow to red (and has been stuck there since then) by doing nothing but using my daily skips. Maybe it even hurts your rating when you let a nomination expire (which I have to do after running out of skips, for the untranslatable nominations).
I'm in a region that gets nominations from several other countries, and Google translate is often useless. It's better to skip than rate randomly, yet the system seems to punish for that..
I believe letting nominations expire has a negative effect on your rating. Krug said so a long while ago, but I've seen no other confirmation. On the other hand, a player told me he lets 10-15 time out every day and he's still green.
Reviewer rating has been flawed for a very long time. After the first year of OPR and several thousands of reviews in green, I dropped to red over a few days without changing anything to the way I review. Then gradually I returned to yellow and green, but I never resumed reviewing at the same rate. When Google+ was still a thing, there were many posts relating similar stories. The lesson I learned what that the system would occasionally bite me without warning. Everybody has their own taste, but I don't like getting bitten, especially without knowing when or why. When any click in wayfarer makes me wonder if I'll be bitten, I just stop using it.
Any abuse detection system will have false positives. It looks like, as long as the system globally works, Niantic isn't interested in investigating possible false positives, or at least not interested enough to dedicate resources.
A possibility to help us understand would be to be more transparent about what causes rating drops, for example knowing when we agreed or not with the outcome. The usual answer is that it would allow bad actors to trick the system. I call BS: the system IS already being tricked ALL THE TIME, see the perfect lines of PoGo gyms in another thread. Bad actors don't need this. Security through obscurity in this case does little or nothing to prevent bad actors from tricking the system, but does actively prevent good faith actors to have some trust in the system.
So, sorry folks, if you don't like getting bitten - stop reviewing. If Niantic hasn't fixed this in over three years, I don't think they'll ever do.

Hello I went from green to red and impossible to go up even in yellow after 250 validations and 2 days ...
I would just like ANY form of update or statement from @NianticCasey-ING (or someone else in the Wayfarer team). All around me I see other Agents distancing themselves from using the Wayfarer system. I am sure that this is not the goal for Niantic.
Again, please provide an update.
😂
Same here under red and 1 follow guide. @NianticBrian-ING @NianticBrian-ING Please fix the bug soon.
Went from green to red suddenly, stopping reviewing for a while. Somethings shifted or not right in the system now..
Hello @NianticCasey-ING ,
Any update on this situation. the whole post has been upvoted by 56 players.
This is a major issue & need immediate actions to solve this, but it has been several days & we haven't heard a word on this other than you have responded the issue is acknowledged in another post.
Many of us have hold our reviewing until the problem is solved.
Good day, any update on the matter
Same problem here been green since I started reviewing in the last couple of weeks I can't get out of red. I even did the re test that put my back in the yellow and couple of reviews later red again.
Also I was in zero% this morning now nearly due another upgrade. So getting something right.
Nitanic doesn't care about us, their free working heroes? Wayfart is a one **** joke. I'm giving up with whole game because of this.
I stopped reviewing once I heard about this, been waiting for an update from Niantic.
Wrong. That is NOT a blurry picture, nor is it pitch black either. This is something that PoGo did to the system. If ppl don't LIKE the pic, they rehject the whole candidate based on "bad photo". Sometimes only because the pic is taken in night time. What this option actually means is a totally unreadable pic where you really can't tell what should be in it. This is NOT one such, the pic is fine and the candidate should be eligible from whta I can tell.
Always do it, for science!
What's wrong is your judgement. It can't very well be a natural feature with a man made fence, if you bother to think about it.
Neither is it a low-quality pic, if you can tell what's in it.
It would be well and good if ppl would even understand the standards they are supposed to keep. Because they don't, like this one here, the system is broken and 10k+ reviews with insight don't matter, you're still dropped to red for disagreeing on a few of these candidates PoGo masses evaluate plainly wrong. I'm not even frustrated anymore, just angry. These ppl are the ones who should be on permanent red, not those who actually get the rules.
Agreed, waiting on an update b4 i continue reviewing
For an update, I've done approx. 80 more reviews. I'm still in green. It definitely seems like people are dropping at an oddly high rate. But it doesn't seem to affect everyone? *knock on wood*
