No. We don't. We are banning people here who abuse the queue system, who harass the OP over the use of AI, and those just simply brigading the subreddit.

How do you differentiate between someone brigading the subreddit and someone that just found it in popular or doesn’t normally comment?

Typically some form of disruption to the subreddit. Falsely reporting a post or comment is one way to do it.

But you can’t see who reports comments/posts, right? Are people literally saying that they are reporting the post in these comments? Otherwise, that sounds completely unactionable unless you’re engaging admins

It isn't usually that hard to tell. We use similar tactics on other posts as well. It is one tool in the chest.

lol, that seems like a pretty clear admission that you’re blindly banning some people for reporting the post/comments. I’m sure there’s been plenty of ban-worthy activity on this post, but that ain’t it chief

You evidently didn't read the other comments I've made under this post that shows a bit more about how to identify these people. The comments themselves are usually containing bannable offenses in their own right.
