I know it is not wise to start this discussion again, but having missed the original discussion, I'd like to say a few words.
Now, I see not all people like criticism, even if it is only well-meaning. And that's okay. People are different. Maybe these people could say "I don't want any comments on my gameplay" and they'd be left in peace?
Secondly, I think it'd be a wise idea to send criticism (if one feel it's really necessary - in most games I've played in there hasn't be such a need, at least for me) via PMs. When criticism is displayed on the post-game discussion (which should not be banned because it's a part of the fun) it easily leads to one member saying: "I didn't like x's playing style" and many others echoing in a row "me neither". That must be distressing for the subject.
Also, if criticism is sent via PMs, only those who really have something to say will do it and people won't probably complain about incy-wincy little things.
Thirdly, I fully understand why some players dislike a certain quiet style. There's nothing wrong with posting only a few posts, but if a player posts only 0-2 posts every day, all of them in-character or chatting and a random vote (if a vote at all), that really isn't playing. I have seen this kind of "playing" and I can say I dislike it. If a wolf wins because s/he is mostly absent or posts only a few mindless sentences in a day - and is not suspected because no one thinks a wolf would be so non-commitent - I think it's cowardly. Werewolf is a game which needs commitment. If one can not write at least one mindful post a day, s/he shouldn't be playing, in my opinion. Happily, most of the quiet players are not like this.
