Hello everyone !
I’ve been reviewing PokeStops for years now and I have over 3.1k reviews.
Around 2022 I fell down to poor from great and ever since I have never manage to recover.
I’ve been stuck on fair for over 1000 reviews and see no changes on my rating. Neither my rating is dropping or improving.
I’m trying to take my time with the review and always stay unbiased so I don’t really know why I can’t get unstuck.
A suggestion that worked for me was to always click “Satellite” and / or use “Street View” on the map.
Seems the algorithm uses this to show you are not just speed accept / reject.
Give it a try…
Good luck.
Staff has told us that
so I don’t think an algorithm on how much time you spend interacting with a review affects your rating. But really checking everything closely should. I agree that checking both satellite and street view is helpful, and really consider each question. Remember that “I don’t know” is a valid answer, and use it when appropriate. We have 100 skips per 24 hours now, so do skip when you just can’t decide. (Skipping too quickly may trigger a cooldown, but I can’t confirm that.)
Hello and Welcome @Zlat99
Try to make a note of the information on your profile. This should include where you are on the upgrade wheel as that clicks forward when you have agreements and reviewing correctly and getting agreements is what you are aiming for.
To help to force yourself to go slow and be very methodical about each review, try to set a limit of only 4 or 5 fully reviewed per day. If you find yourself wondering which way to go in a particular nomination and you are having difficulty deciding use your skips. try not to review again until you have had some agreements through on the nomination wheel. This should make you really think about the reviewing you are doing but also see the agreements flowing through. Seeing the upgrade wheel click through feels good as you are getting some positive feedback (rather than focus on something that isnt moving) So you are only starting to review the next small batch once you have had positive feedback and so on. try this for a few weeks and see if things improve.
Perhaps in really having a close look at how you are reviewing it might also show that actually something you thought was the correct way may turn out to be wrong and if it is a common submission type that will also explain the problem. You are welcome to ask here about any type of review that you start to wonder about.
You might also look at the ratio of your agreements between Nominations Accepted and Nominations Rejected. While there is no correct percentage since we all review different nominations, if you see that you are overly liement or overly strict, maybe a refresh of the criteria may be in order.
