Aug 18, 2017 at 18:49 comment added Scott - Слава Україні @Mathieu K.: Thanks for the rhyme.  As to “our values”: Stack Exchange hates fun!
Aug 18, 2017 at 15:18 comment added Mathieu K. @BrandonIbbotson, same here. In Canada, it was a little lilting rhyme: Stop, look, and listen // before you cross the street. // Use your eyes, use your ears // before you use your feet. --or something of the sort. Here I'd say we're being cute at the expense of clarity. Whether that's desirable depends on our values.
Aug 17, 2017 at 7:34 comment added John Stoneman @MikeChamberlain, I tried editing the post, but you can't just remove the question mark, since you need to change at least six characters, so you get the message: "Edits must be at least 6 characters; is there something else to improve in this post?"
Aug 16, 2017 at 14:33 comment added byxor "STOP! Look and Listen" is what I was taught to do (in school in the UK) when crossing roads. It essentially meant: "slow down and act carefully before doing something". I think the message is just a spin on that road-crossing tip.
Aug 16, 2017 at 11:56 comment added Anton Krouglov Well, as just a user I feel this is like a revenge to those mods who close valid questions so quickly and not paying attention to the details.

Aug 14, 2017 at 8:18 comment added michael The auto-critique was constructive and imo deserved. Hopefully one of these repeated moments can be taken as instructive, if not from the bot, then from these more nuanced human comments. Don't take offense from either. Helping to build (editing & improving) is harder than tearing down (e.g. closing), and requires a human touch & heart.

Aug 11, 2017 at 0:35 comment added I say Reinstate Monica @xenoid I don't believe it to be so much luck as choosing to accept the constructive criticism of a deserved audit failure. Every audit I've failed (that wasn't audit-bot's mistake) has helped me learn how to be a better reviewer.
Aug 11, 2017 at 0:05 comment added Mike Chamberlain You would rather close a fairly decent question for sub-optimal use of punctuation than spend the 5 seconds needed to improve it?
Aug 10, 2017 at 22:20 comment added xenoid @twisty most of those I failed helpfully educated me. You are lucky person. So far for me its either We agree that we disagree or where is that "I don't understand" button?
Aug 10, 2017 at 3:09 comment added Scott - Слава Україні But, phrased the way it is?  With a declarative sentence with a question mark at the end?  Besides, different sites have different rules.  Maybe they’re OK with opinion-based questions; we aren’t.

Aug 8, 2017 at 15:58 comment added I say Reinstate Monica "...review audits are ridiculous"... when they don't work as intended. I've also failed equally ridiculous audits, but most of those I failed helpfully educated me. Like with e-mail spam filters, we waste our time complaining about the automated audit system's occasional false positive screw up.
Aug 8, 2017 at 4:17 comment added Scott - Слава Україні You might as well close this as a duplicate, e.g., of this, this, this, this, this, or this.   I just wanted to add it to the pantheon of evidence that the review audits are ridiculous.
Aug 8, 2017 at 4:17 comment added Scott - Слава Україні Don’t worry; I’m not worried about being review banned.  I have over 14000 reviews on Super User, and this is my first audit failure in a while.
