Please remove spurious listings for my wardrobe sim

Chris Koeritz vor 14 Jahren aktualisiert vor 14 Jahren 7
Hi, I've noticed that there are three matches in google at hypergates for wardrobe.  This is the real one:
http://thehypergates.com/HyperGates/node/308060
The good one is at 7814,7815 in osgrid.
The others are probably coming from my internal copies of the osgrid sims, and are not real (sim coords above 10000).
Can you remove the others and only list the good one please?
Thanks, Fred / Chris.
Hello Chris,

Thank you for contacting us.

We cannot directly control what Google decides to publish in their search engine.

What I can do is I can try to remove the pages from our database and then eventually Google will also removed them from their database.

Can you send us the links to the exact pages that need to be removed?

Thank you,

TheHyperGates
hi hypergates,
  it's not actually a google thing so much, although i did find the page using their search engine.
  the item in question is a live page on thehypergates.com that lists a non-existent sim as online: http://thehypergates.com/HyperGates/node/302060
  i don't understand why it thinks its online, since i can't find any sim in my home grids that lives there, and i am pretty sure osgrid doesn't have it there (the real one is here: http://thehypergates.com/HyperGates/node/308060 )
  so, 302060 is the bogus one.  perhaps it's just an older entry?  but then i'm not sure where the "online" state comes from.

  but to get to the real root issue, i cannot find wardrobe in the osgrid primary gates list.  should it be in there?  the 308060 version is live and connected to osgrid, but i couldn't find a way to find it on the hypergates site.
  is there a search feature for thehypergates.com?  i could not find that either.

  so, maybe my real issue request is: can wardrobe be added to the list of osgrid gates?
  it's got a lot to offer, including a large collection of arcadia asylum goods (which she knows about and has "blessed").  there's even a favorable press clipping, sort of:http://slenz.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/full-perms-%E2%80%93-vlenz-update-no-178-january-18-2011/

anyway...
thanks,
chris.
Hello Chris,

Your HyperGate is not currently listed because your avatar has not been verified on the Network.

You can verify your avatar by simply using one of our HyperGates that are on a different grid ( i.e. not on OSGrid ) to make a HyperGrid jump to a different grid. This will verify your avatar on the Network and then your HyperGate will be automatically within about 24 - 48 hours after that.

If you like, you may contact us again once you have verified your avatar on the Network and we can try to expedite the process of listing your HyperGate.

Please let us know if you have any more questions.

thanks hypergates...
i tried to jump out last night, starting at my gate, but my gate appears to be malfunctioning.
when i click on any type of grid (busy, etc), the menu buttons come up as all blank.  have you seen a behavior like that before?
if i click a blank button, it brings up another blank list, which supposedly is gates for sg-orion.
i'm not sure if this is a bug, or if my sims are too busy at startup and causing problems, or what.  i'd appreciate any info if you've seen this before.
i also don't know how to reset a hypergate; i just pulled out another updater and let it update it again to reset it, but that didn't really help with the blank button thing.

when i can find a good hypergate at some body else's sim, i'll jump around and hopefully will get registered by that.
thanks,
chris.
dear the hypergates,
  i think that i should be verified now as fred.huffhines@osgrid.org.
  i jumped from my gate to the popular gate delta, and from there to the popular gate mu.
  would you expedite the listing of wardrobe sim, if this appears to have gotten my avatar verified?
thanks,
chris.
ps: my gate started showing labels on the buttons again.  i don't think i've reset the sim since it was showing blank buttons.  was there any server restart or anything that would explain that?  thanks...

Hello Chris,

Great news! Your avatar registration was completed and your HyperGate listed before we even received your last message.

Looks like these last improvements that we made to the Network are paying off already.

Your HyperGate is listed on this page as well as others: http://thehypergates.com/HyperGates/HyperGrid/Bellona/OSGrid/alpha/7

It is also listed in the menus of HyperGates that are in-world.

Speaking of improvements, we are constantly working on the central infrastructure of the The HyperGates Network. Most of the time the work does not disrupt service, but some times it does cause disruptions. The fact that you did not see buttons in the menu of your HyperGate the other day was a result of some work/improvements that we were making at that time.

Most of the disruptive aspects of that work are complete, and that is why you suddenly we able to get proper listings in your HyperGate menu again.


Please let us know if there is something that we can help you with or if you have any questions in the future.

dear hypergates,

thanks very much.  i saw the entry on that page.

i'll try looking for wardrobe on the gate itself when i get a chance.

your explanation about the buttons makes sense too.

thanks,

chris.
