How to report a proven wrong answer on Super User
Minor clarification: moderators do not have the ability to directly revoke the accepted status from an answer (relevant MSE). I suspect deleting and undeleting an answer might remove the checkmark, but as you said, mods should not judge technical accuracy.

Protect anonymity of 'no comment' down voters - while allowing other users to down vote them
Ah, perhaps I should clarify that with the current system, comments cannot be downvoted, and upvotes on comments do not contribute to reputation. The asymmetry is a bit unintuitive, admittedly. Fortunately, there are a couple ways to address an anonymous downvote. Other users may see the question, find it perfectly fine, and upvote it. If the question is in need of adjustment, users can still gently speculate on what someone may have found lacking. Better yet, someone may take the time to edit the post to bring it into line with best practices. Edits can include helpful summaries/explanations.

Displayed answer not consistent with edit mode
@simlev I'd say it's worth reporting because the editor preview should show users how their post is going to look. It's very nice that there's a way to make the final version display as you want, but there's still a discrepancy between the preview and the final version.

Excel questions should not be on SuperUser, another StackExchange should exist for it
@Burgi Heh, I considered using PowerShell as an example, but didn't because one could argue that it's vaguely the tool of an OS power user, and I was going more for the end user applications. You can use PowerShell to automate Excel, though!

Is this a review bug to the dreaded test questions
@wizzwizz4 There are already ways to detect audits automatically - just check the real post score. Someone even wrote a userscript to do that. Fortunately, bad reviewers can still be unmasked by looking at their review history. If they consistently make undeniably bad calls, they shouldn't be reviewing, whether or not they're intentionally cheating the system. Also, for the Suggested Edits queue (but not the others), SEDE can reveal concerning patterns.
