Wrt cross game reads
I think its fairly obvious you shouldn't allow talking a read on a player alive in two games based on "I think they're scum in X and town in Y." That seems fairly obviously to be something that breaks game integrity or whatever and makes it less fun for everyone involved. As much as I have distaste for "you can have X read you just can't talk about it," this is the exception where I think it makes sense.
There is some amount of grey area when a player is dead in one game. Personally I think if player A is dead in X its fine to read them in Y based in part on their alignment in X. However this can get tricky if player B is still alive in both games--does that mean just player B can't talk about it but players C, D, etc. can? Or nobody can because player B can't? Idk the best answer to that, im not convinced its the mu standard where you can't until game Y is finished but I acknowledge there isn't a clear best different way to do it.
At any rate, talking about cross game reads while a player is alive in both seems like an easy and obvious no no to me.

Re: Suggestion for sitewide standard of rules for Mafia games
Fwiw I didn’t mention angleshooting in last airbender rules cause most of what people use angleshooting to describe doesn’t bother me/I don’t care about outlawing. I did forget to put my usual “don’t try to game role PMs” tho
I actually didn’t know the history of the phrase, Epi giving it is/was fairly enlightening. I’m not sure if there’s room for mafia to apply a different definition or not, but I certainly would personally use it in a much more narrow sense if the poker definition is the one being defaulted to.

Re: Suggestion for sitewide standard of rules for Mafia games
Some of the language stuff especially is fairly draconian imo.
