Wednesday38 messages9 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
  • chlorhex — we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern 18:17
  • relabel_watch — a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record 18:32
  • chlorhex — update from 1 months ago: FGP added evidence and the entry now reflects it, we shall see 18:34
  • split_dose_sam — i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier 19:45
  • thursday_thea — if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution 20:41

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

CH

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

🔥1📉13❤️11

how many independent results does a supplier need

why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

RW

a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record

nothing gets deleted

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

[edited]

for the archive does a good result from PeptideMeter outweigh a bad one from VendorInvestigate

👍2

has anyone ever offered to pay for verification

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

ST

what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine

VB

Batch lookup E-2205: 9 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-06-03.

MN

the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

ST

post the photos

LN

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

MN

nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes

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

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

CO

both numbers go in

Archive lookup: customs_owl first appears in this channel on 2024-11-17.

CH

is the verification log the same thing as a recommendation

ST

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

thats not evidence

CH

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

[edited]
ST

the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division, n of 1 obviously
