I honestly don't know what I'd do if scum stopped lurking! :V But perhaps they never will. But seriously, I'm usually the main person calling out major lurkscum. And a lot of the time someone I really shove for hard ends up flipping town instead, it's because they lurked so hard it was hard to believe they could actually be town.
The main exception is learning the difference between Dan's town and scum lurk, but after a few failures I've realized that town!Dan will put -some- stuff out and scum!Dan really never seems to do basically anything, ever, until maybe lylo or something similar. But the issue is they're both scummy metas and it seriously shouldn't be hard for scum!Dan to follow his town meta as it's still heavy lurking with almost no content in the posts. ;_;
Also, SkyPal; I'd say the biggest thing is moving past "got'cha!" type scum hunting attempts. I've seen Bard do the same thing in the past where he analyzed the words someone said to the point where theoretically, it technically made their statement a lie, but... in context and with being human involved in the equation it didn't actually make much sense. The scum are lying, sure, but they know what they're posting and it's extremely unlikely they're going to trip all over themselves (even if they're me!), unless perhaps caught in a fakeclaim role-shens lie because that's different and much harder to wiggle out of.
