I think they would get confirmed. My guess is this is partially automated. I have deleted them. I'm looking into fixing it so it doesn't happen as often. By the way, this is a new form of spam called google-spamming, where profiles are created on forum websites in order to get the URLs included on webpages. This in-turn increases their visisibly in google :( This is why user websites are hidden until they can be verified now. ~Hanford
