 * This has become a major problem.
    Robots signing up on wordpress sites I think
   there should be totally new approach to wordpress registration system.
 * 1) If a registration is not confirmed within 30 minutes the registration is removed
   from the database the email address is flagged and can only be restored by the
   admin. Maybe if the profile requires a secondary activation link to keep the 
   activation live.
 * 2) A second activation link could also be considered a simple question and answer
   quiz to protect the registration form.

 * That would be a place for plugins to help you out. There is not a system that
   works for all environments yet.
