Haven't played in a while and am not quite aware of how out-of-hand the in-game abuse has gotten but I feel self-policing would be a better option. Similar to Lynch All Liars, I'd prefer to see players come together and Cull All Cussers if the abuse crosses a line. My play style is almost always respectful but we are just roleplaying here.... I think there is room for a confrontational, and perhaps even somewhat abusive, style... as long as it doesn't go too far. Such a style can add flavor to the game. I'd leave it up to the players to use their votes to decide how far is too far for a player to go.
I think it's hard to expect town to waste its day lynching a cusser in detriment of other leads just in order to make the community a more enjoyable place overall. And this is not to mention other cases in which such an action would be downright suicidal: what if the cusser is the confirmed cop?
My opinion is that the penalty has to be handed down by the mod (either the game mod or a forum admin/mod that is familiar with CC mafia) or the community can solve it with a black list for future games.
