I was, years ago, a 'host' on the old META forum (a soul-crushing experience).

I think they regard disruptive META as anything that tries to get around the rules and regs--for example, if a thread is locked, and someone cuts and pastes the locked thread into an unlocked one. Or if someone complains that they got locked out of the thread they were disruptively cutting/pasting the locked thread into.

Complaining about DU, pretty much, is 'disruptive meta.' If you start a thread complaining about DU, a host can lock it up. It doesn't count against the poster, it just prevents them from continuing on in a disruptive/divisive way.
