They were consistent with spam/bot-like activity, so I've hit the ban hammer on each member.

For future reference, simply use the board's Report feature.

Do staff take any action towards bots who solely browse?

If It's deemed a bot per se, action will be taken regardless of behavior.

There's been a good number of "zombies" that do nothing but go from thread-to-thread, usually in quick succession... We appreciate when people report these, as they sometimes blend in among members that are legitimately viewing threads.

I believe I have come across many of these since I registered, but I never thought about reporting them as they were not the type of bots to advertise links or post malicious content. I will be sure to report them in the future.
