I appreciate to get rid of bots, but how big is the chance that two bots within 10min tries to register when i only got one bot every 12 days before? Captcha i still running at the same time as Is Bot.

You are now getting real-time information when these bots leave the register.php page before the time set up in IsBot. You will be amazed how many you will now catch. This works even if they ignore or fail the captcha, and even if they don't fill out all fields. IsBot merely looks at time spent between pages. It doesn't care what data is entered into the fields, other than recording it to send to you via email.

Also, what kind of notification does the member that tries to register but fail get? If any, can i edit it somehow?

Humans will never see the message. Members will never see the message. Only bots will. Failed registrations get the standard vBulletin message, "The administrator has disabled registration" that is given if registration is actually disabled. There's not a "gotcha" message or any type of message that tells what went wrong. This is so the human botnet administrators don't get a clue as to why their bots can't register.

It doesn't give second chances. It doesn't explain, it just stops them.
