Yeah, so, failure to babysit the db node that was scheduled for a reboot on the 5th resulted in a bit of database FUBAR that left us temporarily losing everything from then to now. Fortunately we had a backup less than six hours old, restored from it, and appear to be copacetic now. Except for the missing five hours and change.

I'd usually make some sort of dumb joke here but it was already four hours past my bedtime when I found out about the problem. My brain is no work good anymore. Fill in whatever dad joke or snark about getting a do-over for a change strikes your fancy.

    you do not have time to consider posting stories I submit

    It's not just that martyb - or any other editor - does not have the time, it is that your submissions do not have the quality.

    ask for a real incident report

    Go start your own site and you can have loads of incident reports to read. Oh, you have - https://jmichaelhudson.net/. [jmichaelhudson.net]

    If you must know I was in "trial" employment at that time and that job didn't work out.

    Colour me unsurprised.

    All of that outright weaponized dickishness, and I am the asshole here

    Well, we can all agree on that statement; you are the asshole. When you make yourself available 24hrs a day for free you can come back and lecture the staff here. Until that time, I suggest that you shut up or you go find another community that more closely meets your needs. Isn't your own site doing as well as you had hoped? Still it must give you some logs to read, so ours aren't too important for you.

    though at least 3 other people upvoted my comment for insightful or interesting, so I am not alone here

    No, they didn't. You had 1 x interesting, 1 x insightful, 1 x overrated, and 2 x troll. Don't make 'facts' up that you cannot substantiate.

    Nor was my post in any way acrimonious

    No, but you assumed that the staff are here to serve you - we are not. We voluntarily serve the community but not necessarily individuals who think that they can just demand things. If you had bothered to look on IRC, or waited until the comments came from those who had been up all night sorting the problem out, you would have realised that nobody had had any time to produce a report of any kind. We explained that there had been a problem, and what measures had been taken to fix it. They were then sleeping after a difficult night's work. And as your 'support' to this site appears to be only in your self-centred comments you are not really in a position to ask for anything more.

    I am one of the foremost experts on forum manipulation due to 10+ years at reddit...

    Citation please - I am unable to find your Wiki entry. Do you mean 'foremost expert' in your street or apartment block?

    ... where my work is actually being erased, and none of my messages to other users were recieved, and every post I made got -10 downvotes within 10 minutes. I was censored at hackernews for daring to question mozilla, almost immediately. Twitter silos me, no one sees my posts. Other alt sites like saidit and raddle are the same, oddly with the same pearl clutching responses from the mods when I question their decisions.

    I'm seeing a pattern here - have you thought that it might not be everyone else that is wrong - perhaps it is you? The moderations are done by the community, are you also questioning their decisions? They disagree with you, hard luck.

    I bet he has zero incident reports. Given the horrible configuration of that website, I doubt he'd have the tools in place to notice any problems.

    Upon inspecting the indicated site, I note that the proprietor's life goal is to emulate Marx's career; which is to say, to never need to work.
