Time needed to complete a valid evaluation (The "I'm not a robot" situation)

Hey guys,
I think is necessary to do some kind of review about the time needed to perform a complet review on the plataform.
After months of reviewing, i already memorized those 7 little questions about the request, e i don't need to spend 90 secs thinking about those points before giving the final grade.
The problem is that the website recognizes this as an abuse, asking for robot checking, blocking the login and penalizing the evaluation score of the reviwers, and that is not fair.
Thanks,

I agree. I'm approaching 17K reviews, I'm reviewing on a large monitor, and I've never dropped out of the top tier (green/great) in the 4.5 years I've been reviewing. While I'll occasionally spend 5-10 minutes on one review there's a lot of stuff that I can knock out very quickly.
"It's a playground, the photo, title, and description are good, it's not a duplicate, the pin's in the right position, there are no access/PRP blockers. Done, next." "It's a birdbath in someone's front yard. Done, next." "It's a Taco Bell drive-thru. Done, next." "It's a duplicate of this statue. Oh, wait, that's actually a really cool statue, let me get a closer look. OK, done, next." "Somebody took a picture of a $100 bill and called it a statue. Nice try bud. Done, next." "Oh, look, someone submitted the wall art in the living room of their apartment. Hmm... should I reject it as other criteria or private residence? Done, next."
It would be nice if people with significant experience and a proven track record had somewhat freer rein for working through the queue. I rarely get cooldowns but just the threat of them is enough to make me review less efficiently and less frequently. I'm pretty sure that wasn't Niantic's goal...
Just hit 20k reviews. Been green/great ever since the red ratings bug was resolved (and even when I was in the red it wasn't for long). Funnily enough, in my early days of reviewing, I used to be able to knock out large quantities of reviews per day without penalty. As time passed, I started getting hit with the 4-day cooldowns (what recently became the "you're done with all the reviews in your area" message), and those greatly reduced my motivation to review.
Nowadays I use a 2 minute timer on my submit button and it works well. But I do review less because of it... usually I do other things while I wait for the timer to run out and sometimes I get distracted and miss out of the 20 minute window for a nomination.
I agree with @Hosette-ING, it could be really nice if experienced reviewers could get some sort of priority.
Honestly, it is annoying to wait a few minutes too much to prevent the system from detecting you as a bot or lowering your rating for making quick reviews, since in many cases I see orders for natural elements or temporary exhibitions like 20 times in a row and something that I could qualify very quickly rejecting but I must wait a few minutes.
you do not have to wait 2 minutes.
@NianticCasey-ING promised to "surface this idea" to the "Wayfarer Team"
You're right, 2 minutes is a lot. I landed on that after 1 minute didn't do the job for me, but I do agree that it's excessive. The exact time required is probably less.
i am around 30 seconds, works fine.
I might try reducing my timer then, thanks for the insight!
Why don't Niantic simply grey out the submit button until they are happy for us to press it?
