Ratings making me sad - they have dropped because of the challenge

[foe3643]

My ratings have always been great I’ve got 10,000 reviews and never below great. Then this wonderful challenge comes along. I only reviewed 550 because of the reload issues but during that time my rating went from great to good, back to great and now good.

It sucks and I’m feeling ‘depressed’ or ‘down’ Anyone know what we need to do to get the rating back up? I know others say their rating is fair or good and that’s fine but for some reason this bothers me. I wish I knew what I did wrong during this time.

I am feeling the same way, although only around 5k reviews here total. I did about 650 reviews for the challenge albeit I don’t know exactly how many because the site told me I was on 0 for most of the last day and the challenge ended before I got the number to show up.

Someone told me most of the duplicates didnt count because they had already been decided but we were given them to review anyway, so most of that was a waste of time and we get 0 agreements from it. So alot of those 650ish were also useless reviews with no chance of agreements.

Always been great untill this challenge, now Im only “good” and I hate it. I feel like I shouldn’t be reviewing anymore due to not being good enough. But I also wonder if something went wrong this last week and its not my fault?

I feel so discouraged too

I’m moving this to Bugs because enough people have reported this that i think its a problem with the system. We have reported it for them to look into, so id like them to see it here from y’all as well. They always want examples of problems. Anyone who experienced this is free to comment so they can see how widespread the problem is.

I also added some words to the title to make it more obvious what this is about.

Recently, with the challenge, my wayfarer rating went down to “bad”, and since then it seems that my wayspot nominations tak longer to be reviewed. Here is a screenshot of a nomination I uploaded way back on April and it’s still in queue.

Does my rating affect the time my nominations take to be reviewed? Thank you

Welcome, i added your post to this topic about ratings dropping during the challenge. This issue will get more visibility from the team if we all discuss it in one place.

Impossible too review right now. Bouncing ballon 1 out of 5 times. Retry this action 3 out of 5 times. Mystical rating drops. And mostly local reviews.

My Wayfarer rating has dropped from Great all the way down to Fair doing these reviews. I’m a little scared to do any more. Has anyone else had this?

my percentage agreements just 31%, i already reviews 2k nominations , sad, and my ratings drop to fair cause the agreements very slow

Same for me. My rating dropped when I was reviewing all the memorial benches and cemeteries. I have never had my rating drop. I believe it is tied to bugs in the challenge with nominations that can’t resolve and therefore cant become agreements.

My wayfarer rating after doing the challenge has dropped from great to okay, anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah, dropped to Good from Great. Don’t remember this happening in previous challenges, though I’ve only done 2 maybe 3 before.

Have had my Wayfarer rating as “great” for the longest time. Now it’s down to “good”, I guess the rapid-rate approval of photos does that or something. And also got the two-hour ban (that’s apparently only 30 min during the challenge). It’s kind of silly to penalize the reviewer if they’re just being quick about it, and some of the stuff can’t take more than a few seconds.

Thanks @seaprincesshnb, hopefully we can find out what happened

[elmek38]

Did a few local reviews and ranked up to good again.

[Adesvarcom]

So does your wayfarer rating affect the chance of your uploaded wayspot nominations to be reviewed? Or the time they take to be reviewed?

[frealafgb]

I don’t think so. But if it drops too far it stops your in game medals increasing.

[mattiec741]

Thanks for including me! My rating did just move back up to great today. Don’t know if it was agreements filtering in or not, my count has increased by a couple, but I’ve only reviewed a few pretty cut and dry nominations since, been using the skip button liberally if it’s possibly questionable.

In the FAQ I found this:

My rating also dropped to poor although i was skipping a lot with the review i was unsure about.

[Mmmmumma]

Mine went from Great to Fair. I shouldn’t be upset…but I am! Thought I’d sit down and get reviewing for a bit. Got asked if I was a robot a few times, thought nothing of it. Even brushed up on criteria as well as I could. I google map most nominations, answer to the best of my ability. A lot of the way you process each nomination can be very similar with the way you press thumbs up or down and number of people that a place can accommodate. What more do they expect from us?
