With all the conversations on Ratings tanking. Myself included. I am wondering - has there been any formal response to this? Why is it happening? What has changed? What is the impact for reviewers? Should I even care and I just carry on reviewing as I have following the criteria Niantic has set out…

I think they have various bugs in different branches of their code. They seem to reactivate old bugs while trying to deal with a current problem. For example: they make your stats appear correct by using a formula that disregards edits, but they tally edits as part of a subtotal against your total w…

Yes, reintroducing bugs is a solid possibility. I think the reason Edits don’t count is: multiple edits can be presented at once. For example, if there’s a title and description edit, and you agree on one but get a disagreement on the other. Or 3 new photos are under review - and you agree with the…

Hi @MargariteDVille I can’t believe that it’s complicated like this to handle edits countable. The nominator can only give one edit at time and they receive one email per decision. That shouldn’t matter how much they put into one review

Consider photo reviews. The Wayfarer is expected to determine if any images do not meet criteria. The Wayfarer could reply that none meet criteria, all meet it, or anything in between. Criteria include a mixture of subjective, objective, and derived qualities: Is this a good photo, is it the correct…

I’m still not convienced :smile: If you choose the green arrow in a photo review and the photo gets accepted = :heavy_check_mark: If you choose the photo is against the criterias and it gets accepted = :heavy_multiplication_x: You skip? Than you’re out. Exact like nomination review :woman_shrugg…

Definitely not every challenge but there have been some, specifically during events. Some have even ended up bringing long running issues to the surface to finally get fixed.

I think challenges make us notice things as we’re logging in more frequently and reviewing more nominations in a shorter space of time than usual So we are simply paying more attention than usual to our stats due to checking challenge progress and we do enough reviews to really shift things

We had definitely noted the ratings issue resurface before the latest challenge.

Yeah, I had been having my rating fluctuate constantly for quite a while, and I think you had some issues beforehand too, although after mine had started misbehaving… It was when yours dropped that I realised that I wasnt the problem, because I was completely sure that you hadnt done anything and …

Coding changes for the challenge likely started going live months before the challenge began. Installs have to go in a certain order, to work. For example, change an existing program to add a call to a new program that starts out empty - then install the new program’s code in stages, to take it fro…
