Unless you're actively expanding your territory I advice you to leave a few nearby rival gyms be. They're useful when someone gets funny ideas about the territory you've carved out.
There are basically three kinds of punitive raids:
- Wiping out an offending gym
- Full retaliation
- Manhunt
The first kind i what is sounds like. You got rivals 'visiting' your gyms so you level theirs. It sends the signal: "We strongly advice against any repetition of that attempt." Don't forget to assign pokemon to it so that it's clear who came for a visit.
The second kind is what our raid teams ususally stick to. We've found out that players are far too lacking in preception to undersstand a moderate warning. Tear the rival gym down, build it to 10 and populate it. Preferably done to every rival gym in your vincinity belonging to the offending team.
A manhunt is when you locate as many gyms as possible where a specific player has assigned pokemon. You can either wipe those gyms out or go for full retaliation. It would depend on the severity of the infraction. For aggressive spoofers I recommend the full deal. You don't want them anywhere close anyway.
Punitive raids could result in territory expansion, but it's not the main reason. If the prior owners of the gym take it back, provided you populated it, just leave it unless they come for a visit again.
