Based on what I've read they have to reach a special kind of bad, just putting someone to a fate worse than death isn't gonna be enough, especially if it's common in the franchise. Just having a pathetic motivation and blowing up a building isn't in any way crossing the line because almost every other villains does it, they need to push to that special kind of bad, not just do it for no reason or a pathetic, like you've said their actions need to stand out, not just their motivations or their reasons.

Ryan Anderson attempted to burn down his home and his family just because his sister had more marshmellows than him, but honestly that's actually very standard for Buffy, he did not in any way reach that special kind of bad.
