If they're not going to start actually banning these people, just put up a CAPTCHA once per hour or so. The game is developing a reputation. It's not just the old familiar names, now I'm seeing an increasing number of actual regular players who have watched SE's inaction for years and decided that they might as well start doing it too.

Do. Something.
Bots will adapt and become more advanced and solve the captchas. If I remember rightly, there already exist bots elsewhere that can solve captchas (audio and visual). It would halt the bots for a while, but they'd quickly adapt to it and it'd be back to business as usual.
