even tho admins are probably looking into it ill throw out a few ideas. ofc these are aimed at admins, not mods, i doubt mods can alter the underlying code of the site.
maybe fingerprinting the bots to identify unique attributes; are they all coming fron the same ip address/range? what user agent do they use? whats their screen size and browser plugins? do their cursor movements appear automated? does it seem like a headless browser?
if the bots have a unique fingerprint, implement a new waf rule (im assuming you all have at least a basic waf.....right..?) to block said fingerprint. alternatively use someone else's anti bot software if you dont want to go through the trouble of fingerprinting and manually creating new waf rules. something like BotD or Cap would be nice (but not cap cus it uses webassembly which is not switch compatible), ideally with minimal user interaction and enough to identify and block bots, but not too resource intensive and making sure its switch compatible. proof of work algorithms might be good, idk about the classic captcha, its more inconvenient for users. but at the end of the day you gotta balance security and convenience so its up to the admins

or ig you can let the bots roam free, no harm in it (lying)
