| Dec 8, 2022 at 0:22 | comment | added | Braiam | This is the wrong solution to the problem. Audits just need tweak on the selection criteria. And by that I mean favor votes from users that are knowledgeable about the topic, because right now it's just a popularity contest for the positive audits, and a dog pile for the negative one. | |
| Nov 29, 2022 at 20:47 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | While occasional bad audits do occur, I think the system works well enough that manually reviewing all prior to use would be creating a lot of unneeded busy work. My first thought was just to allow users a way to dispute an audit without a meta-post and to have those in a review queue. However I've also seen cases where people protested valid review audit questions because of not understanding what was expected; and ended up with manually imposed review bans for making too many bad reviews. Catching people would I think require a lot more visibility into user data than non-mods normally get. | |
| Nov 29, 2022 at 15:42 | comment | added | Lakshya Raj | @Lundin This review queue would be special-access only, so only the audit mods would be able to see it. And it's a volunteer role, so if someone wants to do it, they can be expected to do it with a certain degree of activity. I don't expect there to be too many audits to check, either, so it's not going to be like the New Questions queue with a consistent 9.5k left to review. Because of the nature of audits, we wouldn't need a lot of audit mods. A few active users appointed by the site mods would suffice, maybe a bit more. | |

| Nov 29, 2022 at 13:00 | comment | added | Lundin | This sounds good in theory - nobody is disputing that the current audit system is horribly broken. However, it sounds like it would just create yet another review queue. SO reviews in particular is a dying, stranded whale. However, giving some users the privilege to remove bad audits and rollback the effect that bad audits had on some reviewer(s) might be a good way to lower the workload for the moderators. | |
