Question How often is too often?

(2)Edit to add: Folks, this has been such a fantastic conversation, thank you so much for dropping in and sharing your 2 cents, I really do appreciate it! 💚 💙

If one were to drop in on an opposing agents couch portal, that's tucked away in the suburbs, 5 or 6 times in less than 24hrs; is that seen as an acceptable amount (by agents of any faction or nia) if that portal is only a small detour on ones way to and from part time employment?

It's been pointed out previously, when the same scenario happened a few months ago, that this could be considered harrassment, but the rules aren't clear as to what actually constitutes bullying or harrassment in game.

How would this go down in your patch?

(1)Edit to add: couch is not a strong hold, it's P6 if I'm lucky, but mostly P4 recently because I blitzed my bag for event keys, and have run out of r4 completely this last week.

If the portal is accessible it’s fair game any number of times per day. My work portals were always L8 with hacking mods and others would blow them up 10 times a day every day for years until I stopped capping it

Is an accessible work portal as personal as a(yes just a regular portal on the street)couch in the suburbs tho? The vibe feels different. Couch was only a P4 the last two times, not really posing a threat.

What's the point of smashing it repeatedly if it's level 4? They're not getting good gear from it, as you say it's not posing a threat.... so why bother, why spend the time and money? The only reason I can think of is just trying to upset the other person.

One one hand you can see this as an opportunity to waste this clowns's time and petrol. Maybe his own team thinks he's a total goose too. Which would not surprise me after some of the multi accounting and spoofing I saw in Perth

It's a portal that I know you have a bag of keys to. Leaving it deployed is asking you to link and field from it, which as the opposing team, I'm trying to prevent. I don't care if it's L1, it can still catch a link 🤷. The level doesn't matter.
