Problems/Obstacles:
During the publishing of my first service the cache must have been full. To get around this problem I hit "F12" on the keyboard, then clicked on "cache", then "clear browser cache." This cleared the tiles which were cluttering up the server. Once the cache was cleared my service was able to edit the features correctly.
My next problem came when designing my own VGI service. I created two feature classes; however, none of my feature classes would appear. After reviewing the code I realized I had residual code from the previous code which told the service to look for point and line information in the geodatabase. Since I only had polygon feature classes, this inhibited the service from working correctly. Once the code was deleted my first service displayed correctly, but not the second. Upon further review I noticed my second feature class would not show up when trying to be viewed from the REST URL. It said the feature was published on an internal server and editing was not enabled. This was how I came to the conclusion that I had not published my service correctly.
The next day I tried publishing my service again and multiple error warnings appeared, "tools not enabled" was the main error. This was because our tech support people were updating the server and the server was down. The only way to get around this problem was to be patient and work on other aspects of the project, like this blog post.
When I came back later and republished the feature class I was able to display the data correctly and edit the features from an end-user's perspective.
