Hi,

You can email them and have your search result removed, provided the MySpace page has been deleted or made private.

Andrew O'Leary replied on August 14, 2008 21:43 to the question "It's been nearly 3 weeks" in Spock:

Cool. I really think it's more a matter of balancing emails than avoiding users. I've emailed them many times and, though they missed one or two of my emails, they've been extremely helpful when they responded.

Andrew O'Leary replied on August 14, 2008 19:18 to the question "It's been nearly 3 weeks" in Spock:

Yo, I think the team has been bombarded with lots of emails since it's been growing like crazy this year. Lots of new users and questions for them to take care of.

I say send them a nice email to remind them and they'll take care of you.

Andrew O'Leary replied on June 03, 2008 06:02 to the question "Ethical Use of Unclaimed Search Results" in Spock:

Kevin,

it is ok to add content to unclaimed search results if the information is factual, relevant, and appropriate. Adding places where people work fit under all of the above criteria. Bad content is obvious, such as defamatory or offensive comments. Also, if you say you are a Spock contact on an unclaimed search result, it would not be factual, thus making it bad content.

Andrew O'Leary replied on June 03, 2008 05:58 to the problem "Can't register!" in Spock:

Send an email to Spock at info@corp.spock.com. People have had this problem before.

Andrew O'Leary replied on April 30, 2008 21:29 to the discussion "Is Spock address book import retrieving anything other than email addresses? Does it share such info with 3rd parties? ... The privacy policy seems to be saying `Yes`" in Spock:

I uploaded my address book with no problems at all. I think the other information the site retrieves is the name associated with the email, which would make sense if they are sending that person an invite. There are multiple steps for address book importing so you can go through a few steps before actually sending the emails.

There was a bug with the system last week... and there still is. I was told that the engineers are working on this. Let's cross our fingers and hope everything is fixed by next week!

Which browser works best for Spock?

Spock works great with Mozilla Firefox... but sometimes I have to use Internet Explorer. Is there a difference?

Andrew O'Leary asked a question in Spock on March 18, 2008 20:19:

Why do I get trust requests from random people? Why does Massimiliano Mauriello or Yoshua Daely vote on all my tags? Why does Marcello Cividini label every famous person with "country star?"

I love Spock but I don't get these things! Please answer.

Andrew O'Leary replied on March 10, 2008 18:12 to the question "Are signup response emails really slow?" in Spock:

There is a problem with sign-up confirmations. Engineers are fixing this!

Andrew O'Leary replied on February 29, 2008 19:03 to the problem "The algorithm for sorting "my people" seems to have changed." in Spock:

Yeah, I think the engineers are in the process of testing out lots of things. It'll definitely get better

Andrew O'Leary marked one of Kenneth Udut's replies in Spock as useful. Kenneth Udut replied to the question "I'm interested in writing my Spock updates in a blog. Any recommendations? I'm still confused about what to do regarding redundant and plain down right useless tags. If I vote "no" what is the implication on other's pages? How about those spammers that are on Spock just to have their fifteen seconds of fame? It's a middle of the road area that needs to be addressed. How about "related people" and "trusted contacts". Why and when should I add these? If I decline a trust does that make me a poor Spock community member? Let's start brain storming and help out the folks at Spock. Who knows..we might even graduate Spock beta with honors :-p".

Andrew O'Leary replied on February 27, 2008 20:14 to the question "Why are there so many browser errors for this new Spock layout?" in Spock:

Hit CTRL+SHIFT+refresh on your browser to clear things up. The engineers are working on this.

Andrew O'Leary replied on February 27, 2008 18:47 to the idea "Add People" in Spock:

Stephen,

You can email Chris (chris@corp.spock.com) and he'll create search results for you. He's helped me with the exact issue and he's pretty fast! Just email him with the correct info to be put on the page (name, email, tags, links, pictures).

Spock is still growing and it will eventually get everybody on its system to create even a better user experience.

Andrew O'Leary replied on February 27, 2008 18:45 to the problem "wish I could approve your incoming trust request" in Spock:

Hey,

Try ctrl+shift+refresh on your browser. The engineers are currently addressing script issues.

Andrew O'Leary marked one of catgofire's replies in Spock as useful. catgofire replied to the problem "I don't know how you got informations from facebook but my name and pictures are for facebook use only, I don't want them to be seen by everybody on the web, it's private. Please remove me from spoke as soon as possible. Thank you.". Andrew O'Leary and 4 other people think it's one of the best replies.

If you have an account with Spock, you can vote or flag down those pictures by clicking on the blue triangle to the right of them.

Spock suggests that you make private your online profiles so that it doesn't crawl them in the future.

Andrew O'Leary replied on February 11, 2008 22:20 to the question "How do I sever ties to people who list me as a contact?" in Spock:

There are two parts to this: 1) Trust and 2) Related People.

1) To remove trust from that person, go to "Search Network" at the top and then find that sucker. Next to his/her name, click "Remove Trust." A black rectangular box should appear shortly confirming removal.

2) If a person added you as a related person, click the blue triangle to the right of the relationship and then vote it down or flag it as incorrect.
