I once got banned for "vote brigading" on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise.

When one community goes in mass to affect the votes in another.
E.g someone is doing a poll/vote, and you link that to somewhere else with the hope, or sometimes direct instructions to go vote on it in a certain way.That's why reddit has cross-posts and the np (no participation, disables voting in the linked content) subdomain that try to keep the votes separated.

I don’t think i ever came across cross posted content where up/down voting was not allowed

If you cross-post, that sub gets it's own up/downvote count. You would have to open the link and go to the original post to see and affect them, so it already discourages brigading.
NP is when I link you directly to somewhere, e.g https://np.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1j4scuu/barbie_doll/ won't have voting even if you are logged in, not on the post or the comments.

2 bannes for petty reasons and then the third and final ban. Always waited for the other bans to time out -

When one community goes in mass
Slightly off-topic, but it’s en masse, not “in mass”

English is my third language, it's hard to remember which parts of it belong to a fourth one and shouldn't be translated (because "en masse" is literally French for "in mass")

Awwww darn as a fellow languages and linguistics enthusiast I feel your pain too XD
I found it helpful if some of the languages you focus on happens to be written in entirely different writing systems
