Exploiting or attempting to gain an in-game advantage by exploiting forum software.
Similar to exploiting game/site rules, forum software is not meant to be used as an in-game tactic. Using any aspect of the forum software to attempt to prove or confirm yourself or your statements can also hold more weight than regular gameplay arguments and harm game integrity. This includes tactics such as: setting your online status to show your most recent login and not logging in for the entirety of the night phase to "prove" that you did not submit any night actions; registering with a username with non-alphanumeric characters and using this to "prove" that you could not be mafia because you would not be able to be added to a mafia PT; etc. You are allowed to make statements about when you or other players were or were not online, as long as you do not attempt to use the forum software to prove it.
To clarify, is using the Online status of other players as proof that you aren't scum with them, unacceptable?
(In my opinion, it should be.)

Not certain what's being asked here - how would online status be used as proof of this?
Like saying that you could have quickhammered when this other player was online. And because a quickhammer did not occur, you two aren't scum together.

I'd consider "proving it" to be something like sending screenshots of the list of people who are online, but I can see why you're thinking this. I also want to point out that the online list doesn't actually constitute proof of alignment because users can hide their online status and wouldn't show up on the list, but attempting to prove it would still be against the rules. Ultimately we'd probably decide on a case by case basis whether we believe game integrity was impacted, which is our primary metric for taking action on OGI.
I do think that the rules on talking about ongoing games are good because it means less dependance on things outside of the game which you're currently playing. However, I think that it isn't entirely right to assume that somebody having a vague reason is referring to ongoing games because some people do genuinely play like that. On the other hand, I honestly think that vague reasons shouldn't be the primary option for SRs when there are good reasons to SR somebody other than them.

I think that the name originates from this. (At least, according to Google.)
