Is this still good?

How ATOM shows whether road intel is current

Every entry in ATOM Intel now tells you how current it is, because a directory you cannot trust is worse than no directory.

WHAT THE LABEL MEANS:

Confirmed 9d ago: someone used it recently. Trust it.
Confirmed 7mo ago: aging. Probably fine, worth a call first.
Last confirmed 2y ago: stale. Treat as a lead, not a fact.
Unconfirmed: nobody has vouched for it yet.

STILL GOOD?

Open an entry that has gone quiet and you will see a one-tap "Yes, still good". If you just used the place, that tap makes it current again for everyone behind you. It takes a second and it is the whole reason the directory stays worth reading.

NOTHING IS EVER AUTO-DELETED. Old intel can still be right. It just is not vouched for, and ATOM says which rather than pretending.

WHO CONFIRMED IT STAYS PRIVATE. You see WHEN a place was last confirmed and how many crew have vouched. You never see who.
