@vickalan, are you assuming everyone should know what your time zone is?
I hope the players can use the time stamps to know how long it's been since a warning was issued.
Unfortunatelly, I think the time stamps have low-resolution. For a day or less it shows hours, but then it switches to days, which is inexact. For this reason, I'll calculate when the 24 hours has elapsed. If I remember, I'll check around that time to see if they played on time.
For situations where I can't know for sure if the time-warning was exceeded, I'll always use assumptions that preserves the game. That is I won't say that a player has exceeded the limit, unless I know for sure. Sometimes I'll even take screen shots if I suspect that the information might be questioned.
(In this event McGoohan played on-time, with several hours to spare).

Yes, I get everything you say, but I think that whenever you mention a time on the internet you should also mention what time zone you are referring to. I would say CET and not just "my time zone" for example.

Ok, you have a point. I'm in the U.S. EST (Eastern Standard Time), which is 5 hours behind UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). This is (UTC-05).
If I post a deadline again I will convert it to UTC. Then anyone can convert it to thier local time, for example with this converter:
https://www.utctime.net/utc-time-zone-converter
Btw, I believe Sweden and Switzerland is ahead one hour (UTC+1), and New Zealand is ahead 12 hours (UTC+12). So we have people playing on opposite sides of the earth, and also in different (north/south) hemispheres.
If anyone is interested they can see a map of time zones here:
