If they're actively posting repeated information in bad faith, with the intent to destroy the sub, then it's not in good faith, so the mods can delete it under the rules I've posted. I hope that helps clarify.

It doesn't have to be in bad faith. Think a "duplicate" or "repost" rule. Often there are dozens of articles released by different websites covering the same issue. Some reddit subs resorted to removing them in favor of containing them all in one thread.

We want to develop a crossposting system eventually. The informal rule has been a limit of 3 reposts maximum, allowed every once in a while (not every post is posted 3 times)

To me it doesn't. Then again, the frequent-reposting issue can be resolved through flairs, if sub mods are allowed to add those to posts.

How do you figure? I don't follow

In RES you can filter on flairs. And there are several subs on reddit (for example roadcam) where posting something already posted within the last few months causes the mods to add a "Repost" flair on your post.
