All players should do this more.

It supports any non-jester win condition to read over your posts before hitting submit.

Yes, I have more posts to read over than most players.

Thing is, if people recognize it, there's a major difference in mentality produced by being more concerned with catching scum then whether your posts will be taken as pro or anti town. Which means it's another way to slip.

Checking your posts doesn't mean you are

more

concerned with them than with catching scum.

But checking your posts for scumtells (in other words checking for reasoning that you believe but people think is scummy to use) IS survival mentality, at that point you're more concerned with not making scumtells and thus not getting lynched then catching scum. This is a noticeable difference.

Show me a single example of proofreading negatively effecting one's ability to focus on scumhunting or please just stop repeating yourself.

Proofreading is the issue you've been talking about.

Where have you discussed what should and should not be proofread? Where is any of this that you are talking about?

Scum can't afford to do this cause their wincon is survival.

You seem to think for some reason that being careful is not only unnecessary or unhelpful to town, but that it requires a significant redirection of attention.
