I don't get this. If someone registers but doesn't compete their registration due to using a fake or incorrect email address, the user still appears in the membership database and in reporting as an authorised account.. I tested this by registering a number of fake accounts which can't log in (because they didn't complete the email registration process) but they all show at the back end as new members in the community. This is artificially inflating the number of actual active users and the number of new members is actually incorrect as these people are not members and may never become members
Also the these non verfied users appear in search and it is possible to send them friend requests and tag them in posts. It looks like more people have joined than actually have because these users never completed the sign up process. Surely this cant be right? Why aren't they showing as pending instead of authorised?
