Title: To moderators about privacy
Post by: darthdiggie on July 31, 2007, 04:22:39 pm
Hello ppl, some time ago i mailed on this site, but although i am not active since 2002 my name and email are cached in google.  Could you remove  my one posting i made so i can instruct google to purge their cache thanks in advance.

The hardlight url (from google) that was cached is http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=858;sa=showPosts.

This was posted in 2002.

For some reason my name shows up in a <META...tag

Thanks for your help removing my id from your server.

Great show by the way with the release of BSG mod

There was an email link in this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,9097.msg162942.html#msg162942) post which I've removed. Good enough?

I guess everything is  a joke with you guys, can the the respective URL be deleted? Its from 2002. So its not gonna hurt anyone, if removed.  So i can inform google to remove the link from their cache.

Thqnks in advance for the trouble, i love your work, finally the BSG mod is out; i will check iy out soon enough.

Deleting the email will not remove it from googlecache. Google needs to hit a 404 on the cached url to be deleted. Since the thread is from 2002 i expect its relevancy to any ongoing programming or modding is nonexistant.

Thanks for the effort.

Its not that, they just don't see a reason.  Its not like spambots search google then spam your email...  that, and I don't think this is the right forum

Well, I've forwarded the request onwards, once this is settled, I'll lock this thread.

Hey guys, I've looked through the cached URL that you (darthdiggie) posted but I couldn't see any names or emails, I'm not quite sure what you want removed? Could you be a bit more specific?

I'll bookmark this, keep an eye on it and if there's something I can do for you, I will. If there's no response within a week I'll go ahead and lock this myself.

Like I said, I deleted his email from the thread. It was under a different username.
