Failing an audit for an answer after reviewing the questions top answer

0
0

I just failed an audit from an "unknown user" in the first post review queue.

The audited post was an answer.

I looked at the question and it's answers, to see if anyone else gave better answers already and if the answer given by the review candidate adds anything. (Especially because it was so short and seemed wrong to me, not answering the question directly)

After inspection I found that the answer was a blatant copy and paste from the top answer which was accepted aswell.

I downvoted and was about to report the answer.

"This was an audit, designed to see if you were paying attention. You didn't pass. Your review was inappropriate. This was a high quality post and you should have considered leaving it as-is or even upvoting.

Don't worry, we've already handled this post appropriately – but please take a minute to look it over closely, keeping in mind the guidance above."

So I failed by paying to much attention ?

Hiding the username in this case puts reviewers looking too deep into stuff off. I recommend recycling the username and faking the reputation to be 1 or suggesting that the post was made by a guest account with the same name by faking the link on the username. This would avoid misunderstandings, while detecting zombievoters or people doing the wrong stuff. At the same time it avoids the conclusion that the poster was plagiarising or is a bot.
