I keep getting cooldowns

The algorithm for the cooldown appears to be tailored to expect reviewers to try to evaluate every nomination in their review queue. It is probably designed that way to prevent review circles from skipping through to find the nominations they want to judge, but I do not know that for a fact. You have been given a few options for avoiding a cooldown while not doing anything that you want to do. Getting the cooldown algorithm changed is the least likely of these to happen.

I hate trying to review on a phone anyway, so no judgement for not wanting to try to stop and translate when you hit those reviews, and certainly not for not wanting third party tools. Just trying to lessen the frustration of cooldowns. I love @Shilfiell 's suggestion, or you could set a timer - I have seen it suggested that 20 seconds might be long enough. Or play with your buddy, or do a gbl battle. Really, anything quick that you can do before hitting “Skip.”
