This for sure blocks the registration of all the spammers   as most of the spammers use this Time Zone atleast on my site they did.
I am wondering how to turn of email notifications and Visual Confirmations etc

If there are spambots, they wouldn´t be able to register if something in the form is changed.
I think if you put a chekbox with a ramdom setting, default disabled, and check obligated, the spambots wouldn´t be able to register anymore.

Yes, it is a good method.

Anyway with latest Icy Phoenix I don't have spambots registration anymore... have you?

My website has got the register closed 'case the SMTP needs autentification....

I´m finishing the Better SMTP. i´ll relase it when i´ve got time.... the high school doesn´t leaves time for doing anything.

No hurry, take your time.

Thank you for your contribution. We really appreciate.
