@Robotnik: I only have one problem with your action: as it's my own question, I can't upvote it :-) Thanks a lot.

Let's agree to disagree. :-)

@Mokubai: we're getting off track here: my feature request is not to turn new users' questions into audit tests, because new users generally don't have the experience of asking good questions.

Just read my comments on your colleague's answer (especially my third comment) and you'll see my point :-)

The "share feedback" option is indeed appropriate for this case, but you know how it goes: "This question needs some more information. I'll say that it's ok and later on I'll add a comment explaining which more information is needed.", that's a typical way I deal with such situations, but obviously when the question already turned into an audit test, I'm dealing with an audit failure :-(

I have the firm impression that the last years, StackExchange forums have become very harsh against new people: regularly I see new people being harassed for asking a simple question, as if StackExchange fora are just meant for the high-rep longterm users. The simple fact that a question like "I have a problem. Please help!" becomes an audit test is just a simple example of this en-harsh-ing mentality. Therefore I'd like to ask a bit more friendliness against (mostly new) people, e.g. making sure that typical beginners questions (her reputation equals 1 (!!!)) cannot become audit tests!

This is where I disagree with a major part of the longterm StackExchange users and moderators: when a person asks a very general question (typically out of panic) I tend to ask some questions (like the ones you mentioned: "Is it a desktop or a laptop? Please give some information about the model and/or operating system. ...". I admit, there are many people asking questions like "I have a question and I'm to lazy even to open Google, so you StackExchange guys just do my homework!", so I try to distinguish panic and lazy questions (although this is not always easy).

@bertieb: it's difficult not to worry about a mistake if you get thrown out the door for making a mistake :-)

Let's face it: the makers of StackExchange made a mistake with the reviews: it invites people to participate in reviewing, giving people the idea that they participate in something worldwide (which makes people feel important), but the review process is completely flawed and the StackExchange makers have bigger fish to fry. I believe the main problem here is: what can non-employees of StackExchange do in order to help improving the review process? (As employees of StackExchange seem not to have time for this)

@music2myear: you might be right, except for the fact that I'm banned from reviewing, apparently after having failed just two of them: if you need to fail a reasonable amount (let's say more than five), I wouldn't worry. But banning somebody already at two fails requests a stricter audit test policy.

@Ramhound: I failed to see that this question had been deleted because it merely states being closed (not deleted) 10 days ago (not over a month). There's nothing wrong with saying that a question is ok if it's closed that recently. I'm not questioning the fact whether or not not this question should be closed/deleted or not. I'm questioning the speed on which innocent questions get turned into audit tests. I know this is done using an automated procedure and I'm pointing out that some parameters give this procedure a buggy feeling.

"I have done "cut and paste", the cut was successful, not the paste, so many things are lost. Now what?" => nothing unacceptable about that.
