I noticed something about review audits:

When it's going to give me an audit, the page says, "Loading next item" for a long time (>4 seconds).

enter image description here

Otherwise, the wait time is <1 second.

UPDATE: This was not a temporary bug. It is still occurring. Makes defeating audits easy.

Confirmed by @Videonauth(1) & @Wilf(2):

  1. No nothing new, I usually know as well by this that an audit is coming. Noticed that long time ago

  2. I've noticed it occasionally previously

    @Zacharee1 No only spoiled by a fast Internet connection, when a site suddenly need a long time to load in the audits its a sign the routine is looking for a randomized deleted message to show you or a randomized up voted good one.

  • @Videonauth - Interesting that you noticed this as well. Jun 6, 2016 at 17:59
  • @Zacharee1 - Maybe SO's server's are getting DDOSed. Jun 6, 2016 at 17:59
  • Something tells me they have good protection against that. Jun 6, 2016 at 18:00
  • I've noticed it occasionally previously - makes it much easier to guess if it is a review audit or not @AndroidDev no need for DDOS, sites like SO get 8 million visits a day... anyway may be worth reporting as a bug, but they will be some delay for random requests
