It seems now that SS just hold all your batches in pending and review them all at once, which means you can't stagger uploads to release gradually across the week any more.
Given the changes in review times (five days on my last batch), I'm now getting situations where (for example) a batch uploaded on a Tuesday + a batch uploaded the following Friday are both reviewed at the same time and released to the market on a Saturday. Once I thought I understood what was going on, I surprisingly had a review within a day and a half of upload, which didn't work well for me either.
I don't know if others are experiencing the same.

Usually, my things are reviewed the next day; once they waited a couple days. I have much better luck with the reviewers that work the weekend than the reviewer that works Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; he seems to like to refuse my stuff.

That's very interesting. I have noticed better reviews at the weekend too. I'm glad to hear you're still getting fast reviews at least. Maybe they just don't love me any more ;)

I am more worried about the strange and non-consistent approving criteria lately ...
One day all my images were rejected, and another from the same session are accepted....

Thats how they used to do it, you'd upload one just to mark your spot and then prepare the rest and they would all be reviewed at the same time.

Interesting. I'm experiencing the opposite. Till a few weeks ago SS would review all my pending batches at once. Now they review my batches separately. It also takes longer for them to review. Normally when uploaded on Wed-Fri they were revieved within 24 hours. Now I have a batch pending for more then 3 days already.
