Being a scriptkiddy is OK but piracy is not?
It's not "obviously" asking for anything illegal... Having emails and passwords in text files is not illegal, hence the other questions were not closed. It could be e.g. his credentials stored in a dumb way or some testing data they're working on. There are tons of other possibilities. It's as if you assumed that asking a question about getting into BIOS/system without remembering a password means that someone stole the device. Or asking about security of credit cards on another SE website means that you want to breach them in a malicious way.

Audit failed, why is this not opinion based?
The review system is beyond terrible and especially audits are beyond useless. As I wrote in a question here (meta.superuser.com/questions/15065/…), audits in some queues are basically aimed to stop just bots and autoclickers. In some others they're overzealous and inaccurate and they might promote wrong user behaviours like in this case. But some people defend it for some reason - probably just not using these queues enough.

Is this refusal to accept an answer aligned with community standards?
@miroxlav I usually just send people to ask a new question, unless it's a very small detail that they need forthe answer to reconsider.

Why are review audits so bad and are there any plans to improve them?
As for paying attention, you can replace the whole edit with long string of WWWWWWWWs as well and it'd be nearly as effective IMO, but still checking for any sort of attention and eliminating e.g. scripts. You could also use a smarter algorithm constructing sentences that make some sense or some real scenarios actually based on past edit reviews (although this is less reliable with only 2 passes required). The question is what's the effectiveness of audits supposed to be. IMO it's very low in that queue right now, stopping only bot users.

But based in what way? E.g. the shown "abu dhabi" part of the title - where do you think that came from?

@Ramhound please explain why you wrote these edit audits are based on actual proposals then as I'm still not following where that conclusion came from.

If you think examples for one of the points that were brought up are "noise" then it further confirms what I wrote above. The examples shouldn't have been needed in ideal case scenario of people answering in meta actually doing reviews in mentioned queues. Even then they provide value to newcomers not knowing what I'm talking about, though. I'm downvoting this now as it's very generic reply about reviews that attempts to answer "Why are reviews too hard?" rather than "Why are reviews so bad?", which is partially opposite to few of my included bullet points.

This doesn't touch on anything specified in the question, which I'd recommend reading before answering.

If you are fairly sure then I have no questions. I provided 3 examples of very useful audits now. Are you still sure about that? And are you sure then about your AI detections being on point, as you said somewhere else? Even the most obvious CTRL + C CTRL +V ChatGPTs require a bit more knowledge to notice that they're created by a machine than this nonsense mumbling.

Why was my question (1801790) closed?
And the proof is in answers, which don't answer the "How to upgrade?" question from the title, but part of the more detailed questions in body instead - "Do I need to uninstall?" and "Are configs preserved?".

Why was my question (1801790) closed?
First of all, going for "ego" notes when you're in need in help is not the best move ever. Especially when the user was perfectly right that the title was confusing. If the app name is the same as an English word that could have a different meaning when not capitalized, it's intuitive that you should pay attention to the letter casing. Secondly, any of your versions of the question lacked focus, IMO. "How to upgrade an app?" together with different questions in the body is way too broad, questions on the websites should be specific to help others.

Close votes queue is half-dead, can anything be done about it?
If that's what you choose to see... 2nd bullet point could be removed too then because I'm apparently "attacking" people who don't use the queues directly. The only difference is there are more clear examples of that behaviour/workflow. Think whatever you want, I made my point in meta about one of aspects of the site that I think is problematic and ends up with maybe 50-75% of questions that should be closed at 3-4 votes and you didn't persuade me it's not one of the issues.
