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).

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):

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

I've noticed it occasionally previously

Is this new? People have been having trouble with the site recently.

@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.

@Zacharee1 - Maybe SO's server's are getting DDOSed.

Something tells me they have good protection against that.

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
