No that is not the solution. Just evidence that Niantic does not have any idea of how bad the bug is.
that isnt a solution. people have quit in droves, or do not review much anymore.
The Backlog soon will be the size of Brooklyn
Same here - red for no apparent reason after a 7 week break
I stopped reviewing for seven weeks for work reasons.
I had a green rating and 71% approval rating when I stopped.
I return to review after the 7 weeks, I still have 71% approval but I now have a red rating.
Why??
Reviewing further portals dont seem to be credited so what's my incentive to continue reviewing?
Reading through all the comments there feels to be some kind of bug here.
In my case 71% acceptance and a Green rating, dropped to Red but still 71% after a seven week break due to work.
There seems little point continuing to review until this issue is resolved.
We can't all have changed our review processes after all these years.
Niantic need to tell me, why should I still examine proposals? When I got red rating (after 8months in green rating) and my suggestions still are in voting for 3 months.
It's too frustrating yet.
Sigh. I’m in the red now too. Several other reviewers in my area are too. Our nominations are staying in the “voting stage” for months because people have just stopped voting. There has to be a better way forward than this.
There apparently is: Monsters for the forum! 😂
Well I've gone down from 20-40 reviews a day during my lunch break to just the one per day and being very very selective about that one - dead certs only..
No incentive to review whilst I'm in the red and not getting badger credit.
18 valid acceptances so far but no sign of the red pointer moving.
I follow the guidelines just like must be done but I can't even get the yellow rating, I take my time to review, I check the maps and conditions and I think I'm doing a nice work but it seems not being enough for niantic.
I come from reviewing for more than 1 year, two months ago my rating suddenly dropped to red....I had to retake the test (half of questions didn't change as I remember for the first time) and I passed it, it was pretty easy to resolve and I got the yellow rating....but.............few reviews laters, ! RED AGAIN ! and I've not been able to get yellow (much less green) again.
I think wayfarer's algorithm is really bad and it's been punishing players so tough that they can't even hold yellow rating after few reviews.
I don't know if NIA team really did something useful about the algorithm to help the community...but it seems to be getting worse every time more and more; what we've seen all this time on posts about others issues this will take much longer than one can expect.
There are many things to solve about games here and if NIA doesn't listen to the community, they will lose more and more players (just see what happened when Ingress Prime was released)
Greetings and Good Luck !
Kind of bug.... But NIA HAS SAID ABOUT IT. NOT A BUG, WE ARE NOT GOOD WAYFINDER
https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/2000/reviewer-rating-dropped-for-no-good-reason#latest
Just read this. Looks like for last 3 months - rating in red is feature from Niantic, not a bug.
I have been rating waypoints since Wayfarer was available to the general public. My rating was always in the green, sometimes showing as off the chart to the right of the green. I have not changed how I rate waypoints, nor have I changed the speed with which I rate them or any other discernible change to my participation. Yet in April/May 2020, my rating dropped to the RED. I completed the quick test to bring my rating back to the middle of the range. And again, with no discernible change in what I've been doing, I've been stuck in the red almost immediately after completing the quick test/reset.
I have reviewed over 1,250 waypoints with 667 agreements for a 53% ratio. I would need more detailed training options to improve my agreement percentage if in fact all other reviewers followed the reviewing methods prescribed.
The question is, how do I get back in the green???
Everything used to get resolved in less than a week in my region.
Now I have 30 nominations in stuck in voting, and 16 more in the queue. Because every active reviewer in the region has quit after getting stuck in red.
Not only that, but one of these - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean-to#Laavu - got rejected as a 'private residential property or farm'. Which is a mistake that nobody around here would make, so I can only assume that it was rejected by Niantic reviewers. And by extension, it's safe to assume that all the locals who rated it accurately got a minus to their ratings.
Fix this. There's no point in even nominating anything anymore, when there's nobody left to vote.
Just to keep up adding more to the thread, have been reviewing ever since Wayfarer was available as well, was on Green for the longest time, at the same time as everyone else, dropped hard, can't get up for whatever reason. Over 1800 reviewed, over 1000 agreements, I just want my Wayfarer PoGO medal and be done with this, because it's honestly tiring, with how brief of a review we must provide for stuff that is way more complex than just some quick answers.
Just checked my mail.
In June 3 nominations go online (only with help of upgrade), in July - only one and one more in upgrade.
I have 30 nominations in queue and in voting. I can't find any reason to continue submitting :((
that is exactly what is happening.
there are too many differences in local voting. it cannot be that i have to vote on things from Poland, the Czech, France, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark and Austria.
These countrys all have their own "things" that only the locals would accept as wayspots (just like for example the Laavu) - noone there would reject it, but someone other got it into voting, tanked it, and so the locals dipped.
As I stated here before, if Germany would have to rate on the UK submissions, and UK on Germany, we would even have a bigger kerfuffle, as we do not accept Bars (we dont have "Pubs") and Restaurants that easily like the UK.
@NianticCasey-ING the voting Area is simply too big - reduce it to the country the Wayfarer is voting in (or last did action on a portal/pokestop) - the wayfarer Team simply has ignored these regional differences or put them aside as beign not relevant.
Sure they are relevant. As we told you before we do not put things anymore in Upgrade, as they are pushed into the country and adjacent countries. Our Upgraded things always tank then.
This bug, or bad algorithm, has caused so much problems. Most reviewers I know have either quit entirely, or are reviewing tens of submits each month, when they used to do hundreds. Submits was down to days before they got approved/denied here, now it can take months. Nia seem to changed the algorithm somewhat, at least Casey said so. But there are still a drove of reviewers stuck in red due to the bad system before the changes.
The ratings should be set back to what they were for every reviewer before it all started. Maybe then the old reviewers will come back? They are sorely needed. If the new system works, bad reviewers will be sorted out anyway.
Me I am new and I am in yellow just in the middle because I cannot review anything.... so if there are issues with old and new reviewers at the end Niantic will have only very few reviewers... i am already disappointed and I dunno whether I will go ahead trying everyday to have something to review.
Maybe it's a miracle or Niantic chenged somenthing (i don't know) but today i returned in green after 3/4 months.
Have you reviewed many submits, and how long did you take in general for doing a review?
I reviewed 50/60 proposals (or more) like 20 seconds for rejected 1 minute for accepted.
i don't changed my approach on reviewing, I only need the upgrade for my nominations...
I like that this is resolved as working as in intended. I hope it is also working as intended that no one I know reviews anymore because everybody just suddenly dropped to red. Also we haven't had a single POI come through a pretty large area since like a month. Nominations stuck for over 3 months. People aren't even submitting anymore because of this bug that is now working as intended.
Agree 100% ! Here in Oslo, Norway we experienced a couple of very good weeks with throughput in Wayfarer just before easter this year I believe. Nominations reached decisions within days(without using upgrades). What happened at that time was that 90% of the wayspots we got assigned to review was in Oslo or the neighbouring county. This must have accelerated throughput, provided for better decisions and motivated both submitters and reviewers. Why can't we get more local nominations to review ? A lot easier to do a good review on a nomination that is in a location you actually know by heart.
@FERBURGOS-ING
I have the same error..
This situation happened after the new medal was implemented. Perhaps somebody left a code line commented

In pogo my wayfarer agreements hanfs on 8 while 200+ are accepted
I prey You to investigate because it’s insane this method of rating. I’ve been always on green rate and cannot return on green since two monthes, even if I’m reviewing only ten wayspots for session waiting a lot of days before another session. There are so many people in this situation and we are sure that is not working as expected. We are bored, please help us.
Me too I was in yellow ad then in red, then again in yellow and finally in yellow again.. this just in 1 week. Why? Probably because We review a lot and a lot of people is not reviewing now... so more than half of what we reviewed is still in voting for days and days and our profiles have many reviews done but very few.accepted. and thi shift you in red. JUST GO ahead reviewingand,pls,if it ask you to repeat the test just to improve your rate, dont do it. Just go ahead reviewing until you canbecause jf you fail test you cannot repeat it anymore.
