I've been reading about close vote review audits for quite some time now. I used to think that these audits appear only for users who do not have either of Steward or the Reviewer badges; which is why, I never had faced any reviews until a few days ago.

I think it is either a bug or an easter-egg; that the close vote audits can be skipped/removed completely from appearing.

I've tested around with it for quite some days now, and the trick is to just use any kind of filter; either by tags or by close reasons; in the review task list.

I haven't been able to test it with other review queues as those do not get as huge as 50k.

Edit

I reset my filters again today (after nearly 2 weeks) and was provided an audit within a few minutes: https://stackoverflow.com/review/close/2241112 (of course I passed :/ )

  • Could it be coincidence? Audits are chosen randomly, so if you somehow filter your list, it's unlikelier (wtf? That word exists? I just made it up...) that you encounter them.

  • @M.NightDemonbobby erm, how often are the close vote audits presented to you? Also, edited with a link to most recent audit.

  • Did it match your filters, or would it have been hidden?

  • @M.NightDemonbobby This time, it would have been hidden.

    I just got the Steward badge and I haven't seen any close vote audits either (filtering by close reason: Off-topic).

    Wild guess as a programmer/bug creator: audits are missing the close reason or have it in the wrong place in database, so when you have filter it will never pick audits indeed.
