It's definitely different now. I understand how some were rejected quickly under the new system, and also under the old system. I had some that were accepted in just under two weeks under the new system, however, while one submitted at the same time remains in the system and others as submitted as much as a month earlier also remained in the system under review.
The first one I submitted under the new system, on October 24, was finally accepted -- yesterday! If it had been subject to voting all that time, it certainly would have received at least 12 negatives in a month and a half. No image appeals to everyone. I suspect that for some reason it received enough votes to qualify, but not an overwhelmingly positive response, and was held after voting on it was over for review by someone someplace.
