Since the introduction of the Machine Learning bot, probably 97% of my new nominations have been approved by the Machine Learning bot. I made 7 nominations between November 27th to December 1st and none of which have received Machine Learning bot decisions. I had conversations with others who had the same experience. I had two photo submissions and a title edit on Nov. 28th that were approved by the Machine Learning bot.
If anyone else can share their recent experiences, I would love to hear them. Also, I would love to get a response from the Niantic team in regards to this thread.
But I also have about 7 nominations starting on November 27 like you that are still in queue. 3 from that date are now in voting. But no quick ML approvals or denials like I’m use to seeing in the past.
Clearly, Niantic has decided that we are on the naughty list because of all of the “spamming” during the Edits Challenge. So they turned Emily off in order to send all the coal to reviewers instead, because naughty children get coal for Christmas
There were reports that edits and photos were still being handled by ML, perhaps your photo was one that ML just didnt decide normally as it never was 100%
But I also have about 8 nominations starting on November 28 until 1 December like you that are still in queue. 2 from that date are now in voting. But no quick ML approvals or denials like I’m use to seeing in the past. Like to normal community viewing no more ML quick action
I asked AI to imagine concerned wayfarer team looking into it, and got this:
Here’s the image of the Wayfarer team trying to figure out why their robot “Emily” isn’t functioning. You can see the concerned looks on their faces as they look at the malfunctioning robot, with a queue of waiting submissions in the background.
We have seen some evidence that the ML filter has been rejecting nominations again since December 4, but I still have not seen anyone post an ML accept.
