It needs to be consistent.
Either outing is NEVER reportable - unless it’s intentionally done to gamethrow, and this is explicitly said by the offender, same as with the leaving rule - OR outing is ALWAYS reportable, regardless of whether the names are real or not, in a similar vein as to the bot rule, which punishes the offender regardless of whether they are actually a bot/throwing. I don’t care which. There CANNOT be a middle ground.
As for the “friendly SK” argument, if the Town and Mafia have low but roughly even numbers, and you are under suspicion, outing yourself to “ally” with Town (and stab them in the back) is often the only way to ensure a victory. Since gamethrowing is defined as “playing to lose”, it’d be gamethrowing to NOT use this strategy, as otherwise you will be put on the chopping block.
Everybody seems to ignore this wonderfully worded post though

Fake gamethrowing will not be made against the rules. Instead people just need to be patient and look at the actual facts before reporting others.
