I have searched high and low but have been unable to find an explanation of why the timeout period for audit failures gets longer and longer.
I fully understand and support the use of the audits and, as a new reviewer, use them to learn from my mistakes but making a timeout period last more than a month seems a bit excessive.
I believe that I have made a good faith effort to be very careful and thoughtful when reviewing things but the process is really very subjective in spite of the efforts to make it more objective.
I have read discussions that indicate that the length of time taken on a review is tracked which leads me to ask whether or not that time period is also considered when assigning a reviewing ban.
