When getting audited in the review queues, it's often extremely obvious. If the date that a question or answer was posted is more than 20-25 minutes ago it's not going to be a new First Post or Late Answer.
This enables the wily user to be extra careful when reviewing these posts and pass audits easily.
For instance, this is obviously a real review:
This one is a fake:
Removing the time/user card completely would almost completely stop people being able to dodge audits. They'd have to click on every question and open it in a new tab, which would be unbelievably tedious; surely no one will do that 1,000 times?
I added the user card as an option because it might be easier, and the reputation of the poster shouldn't really be a factor in the outcome of a review.

-- not really, they can just downvote the question/answer, and if it's a honeypot, they win and move on. – LittleBobbyTables Jan 28 '13 at 20:04They'd have to click on every question and open it in a new tab, which would be unbelievably tedious
: This is not a great idea. This disrupts the review workflow for legitimate reviewers. The interface is designed to provide most of the information necessary to review the post with a reasonable level of certainty. The link is only there if further assessment is necessary; expecting users to do this with every post is inconsistent with the design of the review system. – bwDraco Oct 2 '15 at 12:50the reputation of the poster shouldn't really be a factor in the outcome of a review
: I'm not sure if I'd agree with this. Reviewing posts accurately requires context beyond the content of the post. The user's reputation and the presence of other answers are relevant context. For example, a post containing a link to a spam site by a new or deleted user likely needs to be flagged. However, a similar post from an established user requires more care as the user is less likely to be acting in bad faith. In such cases, It may be better to leave a comment or edit the post rather than to flag it. – bwDraco Oct 2 '15 at 12:58
