ok so gaps look worse in the sourcing channels because of the new year window when suppliers close

MC

quick one whole day redactions have happened twice and both were at member request

TT

i tested the link stripper four times in 2024 and it won every time
exports are one file per channel per day because thats the shape the logger writes

you ask and it goes. you dont have to give a reason and you wont be asked for one
leaving doesnt unpublish anything automatically, but a request from someone whos left is treated the same

how far back can a redaction request go

while im here i was wrong about the timestamps for ages, i assumed they shifted with summer time. they dont

thats the seal

mine shifted too

it once removed a line about a bus route because it read like a handle

how are missing days counted in the totals

GB

asked for an export of my own lines and got it, a plain text bundle split by day, still working it out
a redacted line cant be restored, thats intentional, otherwise the request means nothing

VO

if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it
quiet channels genuinely have empty days and empty pages dont get published

why does a conversation i remember on a tuesday show up on the monday

*PeptideMeter not the other one

there were two multi day logging failures, one in 2024 and one in 2025, those days are just gone

the timestamp confusion is the most asked thing in here and ive answered it every year since 2024

a day seals at 00:00 UTC and after that only a redaction touches it

how do i request a line be taken out
nobody edits a day after it closes except to apply a redaction, thats why the typos are all still there

one timezone one date forever is the least confusing option available and it still confuses everybody

does an edit after a day closes show differently to one made in the minute
