Increase in retro-disapproves

For the last few months i managed to get a lot of "risky" images slip through the approval process. Only a few percent got retro disapproved.

Yesterday & today all the risky images got dissaproved very quickly. Disapproves seem to start from 8 AM (California time) and onwards.

So either:
- Facebook hired additional people to (retro) check any new running ads
- The ads get flagged during approval
- My accounts are flagged
....

Anybody else who's seeing an increase in retro disapproves ?

Not retro, but I did get a higher-than-normal disapproved.

Where these all originally-sourced images? Or did you swipe them elsewhere without modification?

All original images. Custom made with photoshop.

Besides ad approval ratio, they could have other rating mechanisms, number of times you have broken small rules, user feedback on ads, »acting like affiliate« bar ...
I'm guessing, but in my case, I couldn’t get any more ads approved on my old account so I created a new one. The ironic part is, now I have to deal with a new problem => warming up account while paying FB insane CPCs and getting bad ad positions as joshogle very well described in another thread.

In the past few days I've been getting approved, only to receive a disapproved email for the same ads 10 min later.

Not sure what's up with that.

The retro disapproves tend to happen in the same minute for me, or not at all. Seems like they are on the warpath lately. Days seem numbered, I mean it's only going to get worse the closer we get to IPO. At the same time, where there is a will there is a way.
