To game the system is to use policies in bad faith in an attempt to disrupt the flow of discussion and editing.

The process of gaming the system is accomplished by attempting to find within polices a justification or reason to perform abusive actions. Finding a supposed justification or reason is often done by warping policies out of context, "reading in between the lines", stating that the policy doesn't say something just because it doesn't explicitly, or taking things far too literally.
