This post suggests a button to contest a failed audit and this other post as well as a few others agree on the fact that sometimes the audit system consider a comment on a perfect post as a negative action.

But this button feature has not been added, so what is actually the way to contest a failed audit, especially if it has led to a ban of the review queues ?

I just failed this review audit because I wanted to give the author my opinion on an easier way to achieve what he wanted to do, but it didn't directly answer his question and wasn't therefore a valid answer, which is why I wanted to put it in a comment.

Since this is an automatic ban, it's probably usual that it bans people for wrong reasons, then what's the usual way to report those cases to human beings ?

    @Yannis Indeed, but I don't know if posting here is the way of doing it, hence the question.

    Just report on Meta Stack Overflow. If you have a valid case, a ♦ moderator can lift the ban.

You contest a review ban by posting your question about the issue, together with a link to the disputed review, on the meta of the site where you've received your review ban.

In your case, that's Meta Stack Overflow.
