The buttons are supposed to only be clicked when someone completes a series of tasks, bots clicking the buttons throws off the count. I don’t have my own domain it is nested under the main neocities.org domain.

    You have buttons on your website, which write data somewhere that matters, without any authentication shielding them from being clicked by unexpected bots/people? If no authentication, this is bound to happen bot or otherwise.

    Are your buttons actually buttons or just styled links? If the latter, try making them actual buttons in a form with method POST. Not a guarantee that rude software won’t trigger it, but it’s less likely to be done by accident.
