Cities not protected from decay

[bonusmop]

I have an avatar trapped in Limbo for the past 5 days approximately.  This avatar has some systems claimed as 'land' for the purpose of preventing decay. Unfortunately, after day three these systems started to suffer abandonment and buildings began decaying.

Maybe this means my avatar is in worse shape than I thought. After all, server restarts do not revive him and his land seems no longer claimed. If his records were deleted it makes sense that decay would kick in.
