I'm not sure it's completely backwards. Hundreds of messages are being deleted.
The problem on Fri/Sat is that we get thousands of messages, and dozens of new accounts created to submit them. I suspect there's a hole in the registration that allows automation to occur because of the scale.
Deleting messages automatically happens, but it's periodic, not constant to limit load on the site.

So it deletes real messages from the "post added today" on the weekends? Heh... makes it a little tough to find those that are asking for help that we haven't already linked to with a post.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
