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" :)

I’ll quote another comment from minimaxir:

Which shows their usual procedure for deleting or banning is... vandalism.

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.

It's a devops world, nobody needs DBAs or Sysadmins anymore.

Maybe their sysadmin got replaced by a cron job.
