I'm really not sure there's anything 'you' can do from your control of your room. There's really nothing for you to ban when talking about guests.
You may be able to contact support when it happens and ask them to look at which IP address has a lot of guests showing up and ban that address. But that would require mfc to actually read your email while it's happening and be willing to do something about it.
The best option I can think of to stop it all together is for a LOT of camgirls to contact mfc and ask that guests (and probably basics too) no longer count toward popular room or placement on the homepage in any way. Make it members only count toward number of people in a room. Take away the only benefit those guest bots have for being there in the first place and they no longer are worth the bother for people to do them.
I agree. I have philosophical problems with whole most popular room anyhow. But MFC is going to have it then they should, at least, make sure it works as intended.
In the past when I saw an unfamiliar model with 2,000+ people in the room, generally she was with another girl and/or doing something unusual/risky/sexy. It was a good source for quick fapping material. I would generally leave a small tip, and on very rare occasions come back and visit the models later. Which I think is the idea behind it.
Now, I often find that I'm in a room with a fully clothed model doing nothing or being confused. Prior to seeing the thread on ACF, I assumed this was a trick that studios and/or models were using to game the system and I was annoyed with the model. Now I know better. Making only premiums count would solve the problem. That way if somebody wants to game the system that at least have to spend $20,000 to make a 1,000 bot premium accounts

You can ban a guest, and it'll ban their IP. I don't recall if it actually shows a list of the guest's names or not in the room members list, though. I've done it when one was talking in my chat, though.
I think the problem would be knowing which of the multitudes of guest accts to ban, you could waste a whole lot of time banning guests before you hit the right one.
I could be wrong on this, but I'm under the impression guests don't show on the model software as individual entries anymore. Guests use to show for members in the list of people in the room, but mfc combined them all into one entry as 'guests.' If the model allows them to chat and they speak, then yes they can be banned. But with a bot being silent I don't know of any way of banning them specifically.
It could be a fan who is intenting to give you some additional visibility. If you explain to your room you dont want the bots, then it may stop.

Maybe, but if they are trolling, which frankly seems more likely, than reacting strongly to a troll, is feeding a troll which is always a bad idea.
Unfortunately not too dramatically. They almost certainly are operating equivalent to having every one of the hide options checked:

Bots are online robots...either apps or scripts, that imitate real people. A guest bot would (if I understand it) is a script that logs on as a guest, appearing to increase how many people are occupying a particular room.
There are also benign bots--recently I noticed a model has a bot in her room that imitates a premium, and acts as a helper, periodically posting ads for her videos and other features.

Yes, and I admit not knowing much about CharlesBot...other than observing. Is this a new thing? I just noticed it for the first time in the last couple weeks in two models' rooms.
