I'll be open: it seems mostly spammer that semi-register, then wait hours/days before clicking the confirmation email.

Just wondering how common this is to us honest members. My guess is it does but not that often.

Putting up a poll.

One board I'm on has a 48 hour wait time before letting new members post. Reason the owner of the board gives is it keeps the number of spammers to a minimum.

I voted with in an hour because when I sign up for forums I keep hitting the check email button in Thunderbird to see if I got the email. When I sign up I usually want to post something right away and don't want to wait. I hate waiting for the confirmation email.
