Yeah they just posted a site notice that they accidentally included "a regular user" in a prune of spam accounts. See below.

Recent update - Spam, harddrives, and how I learned to love FSCK

Credited to: Toumal
It's been quite the eventful day! First we had a spam attack, which was the result of someone registering bogus accounts for more than 2 weeks, then using them all at once to post spam. While that was easy to block, we did accidentally prune a regular user account. We still have the submission data so we'll be able to restore that, but still, very embarassing. Sorry for that!

Then the site went down. Turns out, we replaced a disk recently, which suddenly shows drive errors. This is the second time and the old disk turned out fine, so now we know it's the drive controller that's bad. So we'll have to replace that, luckily it's not a lot of money. What we don't know yet is why the cluster quorum didn't work, we'll have to investigate that separately. Normally that db failure should not have taken the site down.

Anyway, it's rarely a good sign when the phone rings at 5am in the morning ;)

Oh-- hey!

Thanks for the update. At least it's good to know that whatever's going on with me isn't too much of a surprise and should be fixable. :)

Thank you for the head up
