> "You are scheduled to be deleted on our next cron job. Nothing complex." Is this serious? What's a cron job have to do with knocking out information from a rdbms? I imagine a cron job could be useful if there was a script to clear out any static files - but you can also invoke the script manually. "Nothing complex" :)

Perhaps it's a manual cronjob - developer wakes up every morning at 9:00am, SSHs onto the production system, starts up MySQL, runs all of today's DELETEs.

    No one is buying your false narrative, you are managing to make a bad situation worse. You're going to lose your status as a YC company over this.

    This reply along with the libel on the OP's profile tells me that there's a culture of naming & shaming on LiveCoding.

    Do you think youtube/twitch/... don't face these issues? Have you ever come across a youtube account that said: BANNED FOR POSTING PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES ON LIVECODING.TV BANNED FOR POSTING PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES ON LIVECODING.TV BANNED FOR POSTING PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES ON LIVECODING.TV No. They just delete the account. I don't think many people would want to join a website where the CEO vandalizes user profile pages, regardless of the reason.
