If you're disrupting other people's experiences, and doing it through a subreddit that regularly all gets together and (implicitly or explicitly) goes where they are not welcome or griefs people, that's not okay.

If you're part of a subreddit where people are talking about what other people on reddit say (typically called "meta subreddits"), it's generally considered good manners to keep your nose out of it, especially if it's not a subreddit you're involved in or if that subreddit has the opposite of your opinion.

Just let them have their subreddit, and you talk about your other opinion in a subreddit of like-minded people that share your opinion. That's just sort of "remembering the human" or "being nice."

I mean, there are exceptions - some people can enter into intelligent conversation with someone they disagree with, or give a new fact, or ask a question. But there's a huge difference between that and "raiding" or "brigading" another subreddit. The "raid" usually involves a large group upvoting something that the "home" subreddit is in opposition to, taunting, name-calling, general yo-momma comments, etc.

Not to mention that an upvote really shouldn't mean "agree" and a downvote shouldn't mean "disagree" - it's about what adds to a conversation, but that's another discussion.

That response doesn't really clarify it. If the penalty is banning then there shouldn't be a massive gray area. I wasn't asking about etiquette and norms, I was asking what, precisely, is the bannable offense.

That's obviously not true because SRS is still up and running, and that's EXACTLY what they do all day everyday.
