lol that it's possible to erase an entire user and all their posts, and that doing this extremely breaks threads they posted in

Cybernetic Vermin posted:i'd guess zdr's user record got corrupted into non-existence in the outage, making his posts fall out of some (thread[page]) join comments join users query. the way the threads were broken seems like it'd either be a matter of pagination being cached (and that cache being rebuilt async?), or possibly simply an expectation that the join would never project comments away (which could be entirely legitimate if the corruption caused a foreign key constraint to be violated) i don't have a good grasp on the technical side of things but yeah it's too weird and funny to have been done intentionally there was about an hour between when the posts first disappeared and when the database updated or whatever where the pagecount in threads that had many pages of zdr posts (trump thread, qcs tech thread) was all screwed up, which left the last however many pages in a weird limbo state where people could still post to them but they'd throw an error if you tried to browse to them
