When trolls join a forum or similar platform with the intent of getting it banned via the excessive posting of violent, racist, or generally inappropriate content.

Ban Raiding: When an App Users organizes or singularly targets an account, profile and/or user for the purpose of getting the account banned. This is achieved by spamming or manipulating blocking and reporting features. Often this is done in retaliation for an offense or righting a perceived injustice. However it has been often used as a bullying tactic in hostile and toxic applications. Apps such as IFunny.
I don't like Asshat McGee. I have a Ban Raiding idea. It's easy we'll get him banned by reporting all of his posts.
(A ban raid is almost never mentioned on the app openly as an attempted to organize which would put a User at risk of being banned themselves. Instead, the idea and organization would be initiated on another app for example such as Imgur or reddit. If anything, code talk by mentioning the word ban may galvanize the hive mind. The best counter to this is to simply delete the ban comment under your post and block the user immediately. However that will not deter anyone determined to take it to the next level.)
