View submission: Let's talk content. AMA.
I'm no admin, but I imagine it comes down to activity ON a sub. If there are a bunch of users who organize a brigade on a sub and the sub does nothing about it, then they're representative of that sub. If nothing has happened within the sub, and yet there's a large number of subscribers harrassing other areas of reddit, then I think the subs on the receiving end should ban the trouble users, and possibly coordinate with mods of subs that they appear to be associated with to confirm whether the sub itself is at fault, or so that those other mods can do damage control to protect their sub.

But that's still full of holes.
You really think if the /r/kotakuinaction mods contacted the /r/shitredditsays mods and asked, "We're getting a lot of your subscribers here harassing us," that the /r/shitredditsays mods are going to *actually* honestly respond?
There is WAY too much vitriol between many of these groups who harass each other for this method to even be relatively effective.

But if we are talking about brigading, then SRS actively provides a platform for such behavior. A good faith measure to deter the behavior would to allow or limit posts to non-participation links or, as KiA does it, disallowing directly linking to posts or comments outside it's own subreddit. However, SRS loudly proclaims that it only allows direct links to the content of other subs.
It isn't just about the harassment angle. The sub is a willing vehicle for other rulebreaking.
