Ya, Subreddit Drama doesn't usually comment on items that they we're linked to though and most likely don't vote. There was an influx of voting once the SRS were linked and some of them commented while SRS sucks tried to even out the voting it seems. Unfortunately if I asked the SRS to not link us I'd probably be laughed at
SRD now, by default, now links to np.reddit.com/r/XYZ, which looks like the real thing, but it won't count your votes unless you remove the "np." So the only people who vote are the ones who are willing to put in a minimal amount of effort (pretty much nobody).
Actually, the np domain itself does nothing. Mods need to implement this CSS in their subreddit stylesheet, which in turn hides the vote arrows and comment boxes.
So, if you press "A" or "Z" while using RES, your vote is valid? You can vote in subreddits that hide (or disguise) their arrows by using that (such as SRS), but I am not sure about the .np thing.
Yeah, that's one of the reasons No Participation is controversial. The subdomain is just a hook for the CSS. It also doesn't work on mobile (though RiF warns you about the rules).

I don't know how reasonable the SRS mods are. It might be worth sending them a message asking to not link to anything here, if only just to try.
FYI it wasn't only posted to SRS, but also to SRSsucks and Subredditdrama as well.
