the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division

- quiet.hours — two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, for what its worth the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers… 17:22
- quiet.hours — a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel, ill dig out the number 17:27
- maintenance_mo — blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs 19:17
- reta_resting_hr — what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises 20:10
lot number or nothing
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all, ymmv
who decides, the mods or the room
thats not evidence
pattern not one result
Reminder set. I will post here in 2 days.
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, for what its worth
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel, ill dig out the number
is there a version of the log i can read chronologically
nothing gets deleted
is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
sorry to jump in why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
[edited]does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
not a recommendation
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both, not advice obviously
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
