Someone just learned the hard way why you always test your cleanup scripts with a dry-run flag first. Their "dry-run" turned out to be about as dry as the Titanic's maiden voyage—it executed real deletes and nuked the admin account (user id 3) because it had email_verified=0 in the database.
The beautiful irony? They're now frantically checking for database backups while simultaneously realizing they should've excluded admin accounts AND done a SELECT-only test first. That's like realizing you should've brought a parachute after jumping out of the plane. The PowerShell suggestion at the bottom is basically the digital equivalent of "thoughts and prayers"—good luck recovering from that one, chief.
Pro tip: When your cleanup script has the power to delete accounts, maybe don't trust a boolean flag to be the only thing standing between you and unemployment.
