For example, if brigading isn't what you think should be a top priority
Top priority is to make crystal clear *what brigading is exactly* because that was never made clear and people are getting shadowbanned over it.

The prior system of showing total votes helped a lot in that.
I had an account that had in one discussion all their comments go to negative 10 within a minute. The admins essentially said that I was complaining about being brigaded too much. My response was that I was saying something not controversial and in a discussion, and within a minute (I timed it) on a smaller subreddit my responses were to negative 10. It made sense to me to report the issue to the admins and annoyed me that they didn't look at the entire thread but forced me to report each comment individually.

I wish they would prevent the brigading-type actions from occurring instead of just shadowbanning for them. I haven't seen the code so this would almost certainly be more work than it sounds, but if they just took the checks they do to shadowban and instead display a "you can't do that" message at voting time, that would make me happy.
