70% of my Pokestops nominations are generic Children's Playgrounds which leads to cooldown

Hello!
About 70% of nominations that I've got to review are lookalike children’s playgrounds. I live in country where people select them as pokestops because there is little to nothing interesting in more rural places. So, when I reviewing them, I do have certain patterns which I use, most importantly: while choosing the amount of stars in each category. For example, if there is actual playground, no other pokestops around, the photo is decent and place at least looks fine and safe, I use the same ranking while giving it a green light. Which is, no surprising, leads me to cooldown from reviewing, because system detects me as a bot or something.
The question is, how I can improve my reviewing technics? There is so much of playgrounds in my feed here, I can’t see anything to change in my answers. In my opinion, it’s the devs who should consider tuning this timeout feature, if I select the same type for most of my assigned nominations - but I might be wrong.
Any help?

Commenting only on the voting pattern issue, at the very least, surely some have better titles and descriptions than others? That should be causing you to vary their title/description rating and perhaps their overall rating.
Thank you, that is valid point. I'll do better with the names. :)
Vary your stars slightly on fields of lower importance. For example, if you'd typically rate historical/cultural significance 3 and visual uniqueness 4 flip those two. Those two plus title/description are probably the best things to do it with as I think they're the three least impactful on the overall outcome. They're also the three that have the fuzziest guidance. Don't mess with "Should this be?" and the location/safe access fields.
Thank you. I did something like that, I voted 3 for historical/cultural significance and 2-4 for uniqueness, based on how much children's playground tried to be unique (for example, some of them was animal inspired, with tiger faces of something like that).
I'll do my best in the future.
"unique" means that you can distinguish the poi from its surroundings, not that its style is unique
