With disabling submit button they won't complete their registration and when it's available they will complete it. So they will get over the criteria and become a member. Am I wrong? Or do bots leave the page when they can't find the submit button?

Also there is a false field that exists with this mod, that humans can't see but bots do. And the bots are programmed to fill in false fields that aren't standard fields, with gibberish. This mod catches alot of bots right there.

I think the reason this mod works is because it's not a standard feature of vbulletin. If it were, then someone might have already programmed a bot to get around it.

I've pointed this out before - programming around this mod is very tricky and self defeating for a botnet admin. First of all there's no way to guess the settings site to site. There's minimum and maximum time, false fields and all. So, let's say you have 2 million attempts a day with your botnet, what do you program the delay for?

Every second you are adding takes attempts away. And no one is going to trouble themselves to program this, site to site. They would simply move on to easier targets that don't have these checks.
