The spammer could create idle accounts while spamming, and when his current 
account gets blocked, he simply pick one of the account created before.

I think that for that kind of things should be better to force to send an 
email with a confirmation link.

Maybe you, but figure that I'm explaing to somebody how connect to jabber 
(i.e. because his legacy system is offline): Ok, open your client, and choose 
an username, click register, now wait an hour.... At this point I prefer to 
not see his/her face. And in a hour, the legacy service will have become 
online again.
