But isn't this score completely probable, and didn't it pass the standards of the time? ;)

I'm jk, there seems to be no way to review this evidence, rendering it useless. Have we exhausted attempts to contact this person? Besides that, I support removing scores that have no surviving evidence and were supposed to have an evidence pack.

actually, and get ready some confusing ruling, but this simulatanesouly did and did not meet the standards

the standards of the day was evidence must be permanent. That means adjudicators needed to know the future, and needed to know the evidence would be permanent. We were warnted even then if evidence ever went missing at a future date, the score would be removed and the people who approved it would retroactively lose credibility. This obvioulsy led to confusion among people who dont read the fine print, since they were simultaneosuly told to vote yes while at the same time warned a yes vote could penalize them. The only exception was if you direct uploaded to tg and tg lost the footage, then you're safe. This is why many of us mass abstained on third party uploads even though they were allowed. we knew we couldnt see the future and we were worried the video would go down and we'd eventually lose cred

so no, since the standards of the day invovled knowing the future and that the video be permanent, it did not meet the standards of the day. Though i can certainly understand how those standards were confusing. it led to alot of arguments, and so that ugly confusing rule was eventually changed. this is why direct upload is now a rule, much simpler. the only rule too many people misinterpreted and it just led to many fights on disputes as well as refusal to vote on scores leaving them in the queue forever and protests from the submitter that its not fair everyone abstains.

in fact, any argument you'll see on these disputes is really just a reminder on why the old rule of "can be third party but must be permanent" had to be changed.

I fully support the mandatory upload rule...I thought it would have been much simpler to protect the scores in TGSAP prior to the mandatory upload. That way people could vote, scores where protected, voters where protected. You know, kind of like those old TG scores. I lost. Voting yes.
