Time before review is the amount of hours between the creation of the post and the time it is reviewed by a moderator.
Unfortunately the average score of contributions is down from 64.4 to 58.1 this week. Despite the average score having gone down this week, the average reward is up from 78.1 STU to 98.3. Lastly, the amount of hours it takes for us to get to a contribution and review it (on average) has gone up a lot from 13.6 to 20.0.

As you can see the weekly amount of reviews is down from 48 to 34. However, the amount of contributions over the last two weeks (82) is up from the amount in the two weeks prior to that (61).

Amount of unique contributors per week

With the amount of reviews going down this week it's unfortunately not that surprising to see the amount of unique contributors go down slightly from 36 to 31 either.
