Highlights from this day
- truncation_tru — a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all 21:32
- truncation_tru — i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier 21:38
- invoice_mismatch — update from 23 months ago: GGPeps added evidence and the entry now reflects it 21:49
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
revoked stays in the log
we refresh on new evidence, not on a clock. an old verification with no recent results says so on the entry
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited, happy to be corrected
for the archive a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both

verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently, for what its worth
does QYB being verified mean my vial is fine

slightly off topic but the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
log it either way
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
never for sale
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
lot number or nothing
[edited]i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count
post the photos
refresh on evidence
both numbers go in
how many independent results does a supplier need
what actually counts as evidence for a verification

not a recommendation
pattern not one result
who decides, the mods or the room
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
