Highlights from this day

otto_swirls — i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier 19:23
otto_swirls — what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine 19:45
otto_swirls — the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division 20:13

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

post the photos

why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log

is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable

🧊2🎉1

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

somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log, ask me again in a month

does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything

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

[edited]

update from 13 months ago: TFC added evidence and the entry now reflects it

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