Bots and human spammers can create e-mail accounts and verify them as well. e-mail verification is quite useless for preventing spam and is an inconvenience to general users. I would suggest not to use it.

No, it is not wrong and misleading. Spammers look for sites like yours where they don't have to prove who they are. That makes dissemination of spam all that much easier. If they aren't doing spam in posts, you can almost bet they are doing it in PMs.
