I think you need to make people sign up, agree to TOS that prohibits solicitation, document the bad behavior, take it to a lawyer and sue for damages.

You gotta trap them somehow and prove damages.

I’m not a lawyer though so just a guess.

Haha that would be satisfying, but I don't really have the time or money to spare on a court case. But they do.
