You talk about rolling scum early on for no reason twice, and imply that you're a strong scum player, also implying you're a more skilled liar and better able to manipulate the other players.
Lying and manipulation, like anything, take practice.
Players that are extraverted and disagreeable have more opportunities to lie because they're motivate to speak to more people overall in their life and to be competitive with them; some individuals with this temperament (not all) are inclined to do so because it enables them to make better use of social capital which suits the strategy of extraversion, and it enables them to have more resources at the expense of another which suits the strategy of disagreeableness.
The other players who are posting actively are more agreeable than you are, so even if they have the opportunities to practice lying online or offline, it's unlikely they would take full advantage of those opportunities to practice. The other active posters also have not boasted about their ability to lie or manipulate other players, so it seems to be something they don't value intrinsically, whereas it's clear that you value the ability to do so and have expressed a desire to do so, therefore I believe your activity levels are not going to drop after you roll scum, because it gives you an ability to demonstrate what you've learned.
