coming back after 24 months, has the standard changed
revoked stays in the log
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel

verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
not a recommendation
quick one how many independent results does a supplier need
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes, ask me again in a month
refresh on evidence
how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor
does QYB being verified mean my vial is fine
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers

sorry to jump in how does a supplier get verification revoked
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
while im here is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently

does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything
right so what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
never for sale
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

thats evidence

a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
sorry to jump in the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
has anyone ever offered to pay for verification
both numbers go in
do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones
log it either way
nothing gets deleted
verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
