The only reason I got involved in this discussion is because "the rules" of the game do not, in fact, prescribe one clear course of action as the "best" way to manage your raidable/occupiable buildings and outgoing occupations. Within the game mechanics, there are a wide variety of different valid sets of etiquette that people can follow, and there is not general agreement on which of those is best. If you don't believe me, check out the edit history of Player versus Player and see how many times people have altered advice in the "Maximizing Community Gain" section to be completely different or opposite from what was there before.

Personally, I like to keep all my structures raidable, but the ones by my "Do Not Occupy" sign shouldn't be occupied. I don't think that's too difficult to ask for, and I often unfriend people who don't follow that, though I will instead send an in-game message asking them not to do it again if I have time. Others have stricter limitations, or more lax ones. Our opinions about PvP etiquette are just that - opinions.
