I've not tried to create a problem with the condition but it isn't consistent IMO with a member/non system. They're guests until validated but already given member features (although only in other member viewpoints) as guests. Would they also be included in bulk mailings? Could other members e-mail them? These would be a serious problems since it could lead to a site getting tossed into some RBL.

If a guest registers and is in an unvalidated state:
- they show as members in the currently online display, and thus:
- have a sign-able guestbook (apparently)
- can be PM'd (apparently)
* the 'apparently' means I did not try to sign the GB or send the PM to the unverified user..
However they do no show in the member list from the admin CP.
