This mod calculates the time it takes to go between these two pages:
  • /forum/register.php?do=register
  • /forum/register.php?do=addmember
The point is to try and prevent bots from registering at your forum when the time between the two pages is humanly impossible, assuming that humans actually take the time to complete the registration page.

Should a user be blocked from registering at your forum, an email will be sent to your vB webmasteremail address and the user will see the vB noregister phrase message, so no screenshot is necessary.

It's quite possible that some of the bots are made smart enough to pause before completing the registration.

I highly doubt that as it would defeat the purpose of using a bot.

Am running 3.8.6 PL1 with this wonderful add-on.

Is there a way to disable the email notification to the admin?

Where should I look to find this code?

In the plugin settings (acp).

B.t.w. I just delete over 13.000 blocked bot email notification messages.

Works on 3.5.3 if you edit the database. I had a bot blocked before I was even done testing it!!

It does not. The same bot could easily visit many other forums and fill in the registration forms and come back to submit the current one, then go back to each of the others and submit.

Multi-tasking.

Now your stretching things a bit. Unless you really have something worth the bots time and attention, it is not going to go through all of that. The purpose is to do as much as possible by going the fastest route. Think about it.
