[wp-forums] Request to edit .ORG profiles

[Joost de Valk]

LOL he's requesting the editing as part of a link cleanup because Google
has penalised his site. He has probably had those links created for him by
an agency where he bought links himself.

The only interesting bit here is to see whether those profiles were created
from the same IP, and if other profiles were created from that IP too,
could be an easy purge in that case.

If needed I'll hereby volunteer to clean up profiles on WP.org if someone
gives me the appropriate rights.

Best
Joost
