So I started thinking, if someone uses a fake e-mail account to register

Your choice to do something against this. There are enough methods to keep trashmail adresses outside and it's only important that the user specifies an email adress where he can receive emails.

If they forget their password and the e-mail account is wrong then their screwed.

Not your problem.
Also: There's a contact form users can use if their account is important to them.

I've noticed a lot of people will sign up but not get to post because of email confirmations.

If they won't even click on a simple activation link, I wouldn't bother much about them. But that's just my opinion.
