UTC always, no seasonal adjustment, which is why evenings in australia land on the previous date

- assay_not_purity — while im here are the timestamps local or UTC, my day looks shifted 19:54
- tarpit_tam — why does the export come out as one file per channel per day 20:07

- yara_yields — the edited marker means the line was changed inside the same day, before the day sealed 20:45

sorry to jump in a day seals at 00:00 UTC and after that only a redaction touches it
sorry to jump in my first anchor is a day after my join because i joined and said nothing until the next evening, take that with a pinch of salt
for the archive if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it
ah, timezone thing
right so is there a limit on how much i can ask to be removed
i was wrong about the timestamps for ages, i assumed they shifted with summer time. they dont
the automated pass runs after the day seals, not live, so you cant watch it work
why does a conversation i remember on a tuesday show up on the monday
no reason needed
right so can i get an export of just my own lines
while im here are the timestamps local or UTC, my day looks shifted
it says a day is unavailable and deliberately doesnt say which reason, because that would leak a redaction
why does the export come out as one file per channel per day
for the archive does the automated pass strip anything besides links and emails
gaps are real
mine shifted too
the totals count published days only, so a missing day doesnt inflate the volume figures
there were two multi day logging failures, one in 2024 and one in 2025, those days are just gone
policy page covers it
the timestamp confusion is the most asked thing in here and ive answered it every year since 2024

how do i request a line be taken out
the edited marker means the line was changed inside the same day, before the day sealed
nobody edits a day after it closes except to apply a redaction, thats why the typos are all still there
an edit inside the first minute is silent, after that it marks, which catches people out
came back after 10 months and my old lines were exactly where i left them, edited markers included
you ask and it goes. you dont have to give a reason and you wont be asked for one
asked for an export of my own lines and got it, a plain text bundle split by day, from memory
a redaction replaces the line and keeps its position so the conversation still reads
Reminder set. I will post here in 9 days.
the duplicate timestamps are real, two people typing in the same minute get the same stamp
why is everything in UTC when nearly nobody here is
