I concur to that, I've seen similar requests coming from hundreds of open
source projects in my past business life. Let's be very clear about what
the problem REALLY is:

1. "SEO experts" got hired, lots of links get set here and there
2. The customer realize via Google search tools that hurt THEM
3. They ask you to clean up their own garbage
4. Classic mantra: by cleaning your site your Google karma will benefit

Now, those links do not affect AOOE/T Google karma in any measurable
manner, and considering that those templates are of little interest to our
audience (0 downloads) I believe that also associated links don't get
clicked.

Let's leave to them to clean them up, we probably just need to give their
spammer account the possibility to do so. Interesting to notice the account
was suspended, all in all anti-spam measures have been improved! ;-)

Can someone help?


As I wrote to the dev list last month, a number of PMC members have 
access as moderators. So I think any of us (me included) can remove content.


Still, we are wasting our time to help a self-admitted abuser get their 
templates removed since they discovered their voluntary abuse will 
penalize them in search engines.


Wouldn't it make more sense if the account is re-enabled and they clean 
up after themselves? This could speed things up, since I won't have time 
to look into this before version 4.1.3 is released - possibly next week, 
but if they really are in a hurry they might want to take care of this 
themselves as soon as possible. Formbirds, if you prefer this option 
just tell us.

  Andrea.

While Martin's answer is correct, the custom dictionary feature is meant 
to be used for short personal wordlists, like the names of people or 
places you type often. If you want to build a dictionary for a language, 
you will want to build a language extension. The starting point is a 
pair of .dic/.aff files in Hunspell format; if you don't know how to 
generate them, you can refer to the Hunspell documentation.


The benefits of creating a Hunspell dictionary are:
- You only need to add the base word: for example, in English you add 
"visit" and automatically you get "visits", "visited", "visiting"...
- The generated dictionary can be used in many open-source programs, 
such as Firefox and Thunderbird.


Creating Hunspell dictionaries goes beyond the purpose of this mailing 
list, but if you can't find more information just ask here.
