It's a fairly simple word. When in roleplay, unless there is clear or approved evidence of something, assumptions should be made ooc. I.e. the whitewashes not on Austin's list.
That list was abonden awhile ago. There are about 3 whitewashes who posted legit reasons yet weren't put on the list. And when I tried to make a new one since no one uses the old one I got shot down. Not surprising.
