I take time precision seriously because 2 messages can occur in the same time period and I wouldn't know otherwise if the message on Twitter occurred before the one on Discord.

Chats, social media and forums

 * 1) Chatlogger scores 60 for using the precise timestamps.
 * 2) Reddit and Productforums also scores 60 for the same reason, but I have to convert the Unix timestamps and use an API to get all messages at once.
 * 3) Discord only scores 1 for using the other timestamp. Although it is possible to collect the messages, select 400 and it will automatically deselect the first ones. Some copying also fails.
 * 4) Twitter stores timestamps with the same precision, but an API is required to grab every quote
 * 5) If I remember correctly, Vanilla forums, which host The Sims forums, an abandoned tetramount, uses the same requirements as Twitter but is less likely to have an API, and Wikipedia and Diep.io Wikia are also in the same boat. They score 1.
 * 6) The original Chatlogger, which was upgraded in July only scored 0.5 for not only using an imprecise timestamp, they lack the AM/PM function.
 * 7) Being in the wikia chats itself will delete what you say, and unless you record it which will score only 0.45 for lacking a seconds portion of the timestamp and furthermore lacks AP and PM, and possibly that leaving, joining or the same user posting a message will move to the next minute, it will be lost forever.
 * 8) Youtube won't even give us timestamps at all (score 5*10-5), and requires an API to get a timestamp. However, they have never implemented an API function for the discussion tabs at all, and searching for help only finds the more common "how to use the community tab" result.
 * 9) Chatovod has not implemented message history, and unless recorded, will also delete messages and not log them somewhere. The timestamps will otherwise score 1 for not using a precise timestamp, and hovering over the message is the only way of getting the timestamp.

User profiles

 * 1) The discord bot spoo.py will give you timestamps precise to the microsecond. She scored 60000 before and she now scores 6*107. It's why she should be in every discord server. Tatsumaki only scores 60, and Nadeko only scored 1.
 * 2) It's possible to do the reddit move without using an API, and the timestamp scores 60.
 * 3) Wikia creation times can be found in the Move log when sorted from Oldest. In this case, it was created on 23:44:?? and therefore scored 1.
 * 4) Youtube only scores 1/1440 for lacking what time of day a youtube account is created, unless the API is used.
 * 5) It's impossible to also find out the exact time when Wikipedia, Reddit, Discord and The Sims Forums was created, and therefore also scored 1/1440.
