We have fundamentally different views of Tommy's scum game where iirc I feel like I've been on the other side of kind of aggressive scum plays by Tommy at times. I get how you see his game as being pussy bitch, but idk if I agree with that myself. I think if scum!Tommy makes it a point to mention it in thread its to try to get town cred off of it but on the other hand the modspew was so subtle that Tommy might be the only person to actually pick up on it. At that point what gain does scum!Tommy have to point it out unless he already knows Caff is going to / would modkill Whydon? In a world where scum!Tommy figures out what Caff's response is first or otherwise is set on setting himself up deep and is ok with townspewing a slot that is usually going to be a pretty easy mislynch in the event that Caff doesn't modkill him, then the play kinda makes sense.
On the other hand why wouldn't town!Tommy point it out. It's useful info for town to have and town cred helps Tommy in any world. The only question is does he still see it as town which I'm not entirely sure how to gauge. I'm inclined to say Tommy has pretty good deduction/role design experience but idk.
You can see by this post that I think that the simplest explanation is just that Tommy in a vacuum is that Tommy is town, but I'm also kind of scared of putting too much weight on this particular point when Tommy is brazenly baiting people into focusing their entire read of him on this one detail by asking if its mod-spewing.
