The classical question...
I think the main question is what we count as "evidence".
If someone fex. defends her voting early with "I had no possibility to get online after that moment" and then someone picks the same person posting on other threads (or hanging on the messenger or Facebook) after that and brings that fact forwards, then it would surely count as evidence outside the game and thence wrong (even if in this particular case the one lying would have been quite unethical or unsporty herself as well).
But we all remember things from previous games, from RL, from our overall experience with others and use that kind of reasoning all the time at least when we form our personal suspicions and trusts. Sometimes it might be quite bad - as in one of my first games when
Sleepy Ranger was the mod and wrote something in the death-scene that people knowing him better were able to interpret as pointing to
The Ka and she was lynched by that information and turned out a werewolf.
I'd say that is not evidence in the strict sense of the word though and as such is not prohibited by the rules.
But I'd encourage people to articulate their ideas by "in-game" based suspicions or good feelings even if those suspicions / good feelings actually arise privately from a much wealthier pool of knowledge (or after actually searching other games / threads). That makes the games more sportsmanlike and in its own way makes this game more open to new players as well.
So if you suspect someone or feel good about someone for any outside-of-the-game basis do still try to formulate them into an in-game argument.
This is an eternity-problem. I know.
