I was gone for the hour or so that everything happened during. I'm not going to read through over a hundred posts just to figure out what happened. If I stay confused, so be it.

No worries. It was a good opportunity to explain what was going on.

It was actually a pretty nasty bug in the system that led to some data loss. The root cause (bug) has been fixed now. Thank you to everyone who brought this issue to my attention.
