Aug 14, 2014 at 15:27 comment added Chris S Mod Just looked up some of the Audit stats. The system apparently hates you because you get more audits than almost any other regular reviewer. Also, we do have someone who has been banned, so you can't be the first. Sorry.

Aug 14, 2014 at 15:20 comment added kasperd Does this mean that no amount of passed reviews can compensate from a failed review, and skipping a review is effectively the same as passing it?
Aug 14, 2014 at 15:16 comment added Chris S Mod Apparently it's public knowledge (found on mSE), so here's the details: The 4th failure in 30 days => Ban. The Ban length depends on how many times you've been banned in the last 30 days, 1st ban = 2 day, 2nd = 7 days, 3rd = 30 days. Mods can also ban users manually for 1..30 days.

Aug 14, 2014 at 15:07 comment added Chris S Mod No difference. You have to fail several audits in a short time to have any effect. I'd have to look-up the exact numbers (and verify if I'm allowed to disclose them publicly), but I don't think anyone has ever tripped the Audit Failure system on Server Fault yet, which just bans you from the review queues for a day or so.
Aug 14, 2014 at 14:56 comment added kasperd I probably wouldn't put any extra effort into noticing which are audits. But knowing the signals, I certainly can recognize some of them without any effort. How would the system react, if I perform lots of reviews but skip all the audits?
