Highlights from this day
- zed_zeroes_in — blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs 19:22
- bea_reconstitutes — what actually counts as evidence for a verification 20:49
- yyz_vial — a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited, i could be wrong 21:19
- verify_or_dont — update from 21 months ago: QST added evidence and the entry now reflects it, ask me again in a month 21:24
- verify_or_dont — verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted 22:02
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs

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

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
Purity check: no report on file for lot A-2418. Nothing logged either way.
lot number or nothing
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
🎉2🤝8
what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine
revoked stays in the log
verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently
both numbers go in
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited, i could be wrong

if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
thats evidence
update from 21 months ago: QST added evidence and the entry now reflects it, ask me again in a month
nothing gets deleted from the log, including our own mistakes
the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted
