Is THIS an example of "signposting"?

I’m not really sure what you mean in the first part. He’s absolutely saying that you are indicating the actions you are taking before you actually take them.

Signposting is where you put down signposts indicating where you are going next.

For example let’s say you vote for dunn. Then you say okay if dunn gives me these things, I will unvote him. He gives you those things and then you unvote him. That’s a simple example.

Can be used for just reads too like you have a scumread on someone, then you go “well I’m not sure anymore, I’m going to do xyz” then you go “oh after xyz I think he’s town”

Signposting is a common scum tactic to show that they have progression but it comes off very unnatural and forced because it isn’t a real sequence of events. So he’s absolutely pointing out something legit

It's because you use "does anyone think XYZ..." before committing to a read or opinion. It's like you're trying to seek confirmation from other people before actually raising your opinion.

I wouldn’t say so, signposting isn’t just saying what you are going to do in the future, it’s already predicating what’s going to happen. Like if vivax had said “if Roden flips scum then I’m going to reread oats because he looks townie with the flip” then when Roden flips scum he does exactly this and comes back with an “oats is town”

I'm asking if I have actually done this, or if he is fabricating this case.

If I've done this, I want to see an actual, concrete, quoted example of me doing so.

I ask because I am skeptical that I have done it, and I wonder if he is overstating his case and faking evidence that doesn't actually exist. I see a lot of people are still wary about Dann and I wonder if my townread is flawed, and so I'd like to see if he's actually able to make a case.

Do you, or anyone else, think he's covering his tracks with this statement? Because I definitely do.

If/when Roden flips, ill pursue it more seriously.
However it’s pretty normal for people to post stuff like that on if they have a differing read than consensus, it’s not really AI imo.

Tbh that’s not gonna change, I look up stuff to verify people’s claims all the time.
Quoting is also very annoying on this site so I get why it’s not super common

I mean like, you don't need to bother explaining what you actually meant if you meant something else, but Dann's interpretation of that is not unreasonable at all.

I was expecting some pushback from my read on them but they either didn't get there yet or didn't find it memorable.
thoughts on what ooo and me are talking about?
I think Dann is capable of looking at things from multiple perspectives.

he does say this right before but otherwise you are in his firmly town section in the reads list that he posted a while before this whole thing happened.

It's actually a bit weird he says this:

That said I appreciate that Naerys thinks similarly.

I guess if I’m wrong on a town read in these three I think OoO is the most likely to be wrong?

I feel increasingly solid about Ninja as town
I mean, he has just expressed suspicion towards Vivax.
Why does he care about who Vivax scumreads? Or like "if one of these three NEEDS to be mafia THEN it's this guy". Seems a bit out of place how to talk to your scumread.
To expand on my post, Dannflor would not be 100% sure that Vivax is mafia so is still capable of looking at things from a perspective where Vivax is town. That is why they are asking questions like that - because they are considering things from multiple angles. (Or if mafia, that's what they'd like us to believe. I do think they are quite good at mafia which makes it hard to townread them, which I believe is something they get irritated at.)

They were talking about earlier (not the post you're quoting here) when they talked about you putting me in null but scumreading me. I think your categories were correct but they were likely confused by the part you wrote about me at the end.
