Hello Explorers,
On or around August 29th, 2025, we became aware of an issue impacting our Machine Learning system aka auto-decisions aka eMiLy. This issue has mainly impacted the auto-resolutions for Nominations and Photo edits, therefore prolonging their decision time but we are looking into more areas that may also be impacted. We hope to provide more updates soon but wanted to share that this is a known issue and the team is investigating it. More updates next week!

Thank you for posting about this, as sone of us have been wondering.
Does this have something to do with the fact that reviews in general are now taking much longer until something is accepted or rejected? In my region, the decision time has increased drastically. Before August 28th, the community’s decision time was about 3-4 days, and now two weeks have already passed and nothing happens
. Or has the community in my region simply become less active?
Being that ML is down, this means there are more submissions to review, so yes, this could increase the time it takes for a resolution to be received.
The times when it is not working makes us appreciate the ML model more!
