Currently, you can only report bots if they're spamming links or otherwise violating forum rules. Maybe that's intentional. If it's not, then it should be changed.

It seems to me that having bots on the forums is bad for the forums. Just this afternoon I saw two of them do their thing: create an account, immediately post a thread with the title and body text copied directly from another website, asking some kind of question, and then never post again. People just go back and forth in the replies for a long time until they realize OP isn't ever coming back to clarify anything or say their issue is resolved. It gives the impression that the forums are a ghost town.
If they're not discovered, these bots can build up what looks at first glance to be a legitimate history of community engagement. Though, from what I've seen, that doesn't seem to be their goal. Really, I don't know WHAT they're up to, but I can't imagine it's good for the site.
