there is no window on a redaction request, any published line at any time

Highlights from this day
- bea_reconstitutes — i was wrong about the timestamps for ages, i assumed they shifted with summer time. they dont the automated pass eats emails, phone numbers and anything that looks… 20:54
- fake_tracking — if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it 21:14
- snac_and_water — quiet channels genuinely have empty days and empty pages dont get published 21:36
- aliquot_ada — the timestamp confusion is the most asked thing in here and ive answered it every year since 2024 22:18
- birch_bloods — came back after 8 months and my old lines were exactly where i left them, edited markers included 22:41

the automated pass eats emails, phone numbers and anything that looks like a handle, and its aggressive
the automated pass runs after the day seals, not live, so you cant watch it work
one file per day
ok so the edited marker means the line was changed inside the same day, before the day sealed
is anyone else seeing a day with two of the same timestamp
genuine question exports are one file per channel per day because thats the shape the logger writes
a day seals at 00:00 UTC and after that only a redaction touches it, still working it out
the automated pass eats emails, phone numbers and anything that looks like a handle, and its aggressive
still confuses me
logged and sealed
if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it

ah, timezone thing

is there a reason 22 months of one channel just isnt there
ok so asked for an export of my own lines and got it, a plain text bundle split by day
whats the difference between a missing day and an empty day
quiet channels genuinely have empty days and empty pages dont get published

gaps are real
it says a day is unavailable and deliberately doesnt say which reason, because that would leak a redaction
a redacted line cant be restored, thats intentional, otherwise the request means nothing
the redaction marker links to the policy page so nobody has to guess what happened
whole day redactions have happened twice and both were at member request
why does the export come out as one file per channel per day
you ask and it goes. you dont have to give a reason and you wont be asked for one
reply quotes survive a redaction, you see the shape of the conversation with a hole in it

how do i request a line be taken out
evidence_or_nota day seals at 00:00 UTC and after that only a redaction touches it, still working it…
one timezone one date forever is the least confusing option available and it still confuses everybody

sorry to jump in if i leave does my stuff come down automatically
nobody edits a day after it closes except to apply a redaction, thats why the typos are all still there
export came through
