Why not make new members click on the confirmation link that gets sent to their email address BEFORE they can use their account? There's not even a message telling them to go confirm their email after they register. I find it kind of strange that they can get a free account without ever confirming their email address, just more reasons for them to enter bogus info.

I remember a few years back when I tried to buy credits with a credit card, everytime I tried the transaction would be declined with some bullshit fraud warning message, then my account would be terminated. I went through at least 3 accounts before I was finally able to purchase credits. Guess how I was able to do it? For no reason at all I decided to check my spam folder one day and found a streamray email there with a link to confirm my registration. I confirmed it and never had more problems buying credits.

I don't know if this is how it works nowadays, but I have to wonder how many transactions are being declined and how many accounts are being terminated because the surfer had no clue he had to confirm his email address before purchasing credits.
