agree  Laura Carrizo: "Desalentar" me parece bien. La opción de "reducir la afluencia" también pero dependería del contexto - tampoco hay por qué suavizar algo si la intención del que lo escribió es negativa a nuestros ojos.

reducir la afluencia


Explanation:
Por ejemplo. Porque eso de repeler o espantar suena muy feo, no? De todas formas, estaría bien conocer qué acciones son esas para poder proponer más traducciones.
