📈1🤝4🎉1
a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
thin evidence
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
never for sale
thats evidence
coming back to this a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both, take that with a pinch of salt
revoked stays in the log
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, i could be wrong
coming back after 7 months, has the standard changed
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers, thats just me
who decides, the mods or the room
nothing gets deleted
blinded is better
log it either way
not a recommendation
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
