Did I create, then fail my own review audit?
Questions can be pushed into the Reopen Votes queue either by an edit or a reopen vote. As you said, the only revisions were made by you after you saw the review item, so that couldn't have created ...

Why is this audit spam?
This particular user (could be more than one, I suppose) keeps coming back and promoting the use of "R-HUB remote support servers" despite the moderators continuing to destroy their accounts....

Please be more careful with audit tests
The question states "Please be more careful with audit tests" but the question body appears to be accusing the audits of being "too hard".

Please don't turn new user's questions into audit tests
Your suggestion would make the First Questions review queue nigh-on pointless
I would hereby launch the request never to turn a question of a new user into an audit test!

Can the review system be fixed?
Sorry about that; this was completely broken for a few days, but it should be all good now.

I messed up. What can I do? => This is an audit test

It isn't necessarily about whether the question should be closed or not, but about whether you as a ...

I'd guess the pass action on this would be an upvote or No Action Needed review.
Exactly. Your first thought would, preferably, been to upvote the high quality and helpful content.

Questionably bad answer used for audit
I'd also consider undeleting it.
I disagree with this part. I've uses strikeout to indicate ink is 404 for example

Strange audit result
As outlined in the FAQ the criteria for "bad" Close/Reopen audits are questions which are quickly closed with no answers. AFAIK downvotes also play a role. This particular question was downvoted and ...

Why are review audits so bad and are there any plans to improve them?
The downvotes so far would seem to indicate people don't like to be told they have to try harder. If you can't get an audit right, you weren't paying enough attention.
Audits are a PITA, that's for ...

Why did I fail this review audit?
It could be improved quite a bit. The formatting could be changed to a list. Proper punctuation could be added. Proper capitalization could be added.
That's an example of a low-quality answer.

Should we look up existing answers when reviewing?
It is certainly best practice.

Why have the review audits not been fixed?
There is no real way that the answer you were reviewing "Looks OK". It has several red flags that, at the very least, warrant some kind of investigation or action.
Firstly the formatting is awful ...
