I had a first post audit today, and passed it... it was, well, too obvious. And while I realize that this is in part to catch robo reviewers, there can be some things done to improve it for the near-robob poor human choices too.

The audit itself was this one.

How the audit appeared

Do not select a first post from a deleted user

Flag history

Do not select a post that the reviewer has previously interacted with

How to fix?

  1. Remove candidate posts for ones that have been flagged (close voted? deleted voted?) by the reviewer . If there is a filter for first post reviews to show up to reviewers, at least some of this should apply to the selection of the audits.
  2. If you do pick a deleted user, pseudo-reinstatiate the gravatar (don't have to get the actual email, even '[email protected]' would work).

    With all the complaints about and problems with poorly-chosen audits, I think a few that are too easy is a refreshing change of pace. In any case, for any audit that's "too easy," I bet you can find multiple users who failed it

    Audits don't need to be perfect or particularly tricky. They're intended to catch people who really aren't paying attention, so if you passed one because you noticed something about a post, great!

    @AnnaLear its not so much a desire to make them particularly tricky, but rather to make them obvious. The combination of interacting with the post before and a deleted user made it very obvious for me. As noted in meta.stackexchange.com/a/196189/213963 there are still too many people doing no action needed or upvotes on obvious spam.
