  • secretagogue_sy — what actually counts as evidence for a verification 14:59
  • secretagogue_sy — verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently 15:07
SI

if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score

i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count

SI

two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers

a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel

we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry

BS

why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line, ill dig out the number

post the photos

revoked stays in the log

pattern not one result

does a good result from PeptideMeter outweigh a bad one from Medutest

AP

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier

BS

we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern

7🙏3🎉5

a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all

genuine question the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not

what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves

how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor

DF

is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score

both numbers go in

lot number or nothing

AP

a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both

AP

update on the earlier thing verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more

DF

a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited

TO

unrelated but do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones

SS

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

SS

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

sorry to jump in nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes

update from 8 months ago: QSC added evidence and the entry now reflects it

VB

Channel stats, last 30 days: 39 messages from 25 members.

SI

if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

TL

blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs

[edited]
SI

genuine question verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted

update on the earlier thing what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises

is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation
