Anyway, spam is a sign of popularity...

Valery,

I'm afraid that it was putted by hand. The user (I see John Smith, not Matrix IV) exist since he has already submitted 35 'normal' forum posts. Or he wasn't very careful with his id and somebody misused it.

Or somebody cracked the SDN site

Maybe the SDN admin should install a Honeypot. See my weblogs and my sessions at TechEd for this.

Eddy,

1. It is not a problem to register 2 users with same display name. It is more problematic to remove one of them For example, I have 2 entries created by myself because I had forgotten a password while were in trip.

2. Yep, I've read Agent Smith

It's still strange. When I click on the user (https://forums.sdn.sap.com/profile.jspa?userID=1321975) in the forum, I get only one message, but when I click on it's BC, I get the earlier mentioned 35 posts. When I click on the user of one of these posts, I get a different userid-> http://forums.sdn.sap.com/profile.jspa?userID=751054

Maybe there is a problem with the BC, and the real John Smith's BC is wrongely linked to this spam. Something fro the SDN admins to investigate, I guess.
