Summary

 * The silencing is underpowered because of some exploits
 * The silencing is powerful enough to not have whisper-reading because Mafia can also abuse the exploits that Town use to avoid claiming and semi-confirm themselves as non-mafia. It can also silence people who might be able to counterclaim, or feed information to Town.
 * The whispers are used by town (I can't find any reasoning)
 * Whispers are discouraged from Townies because Townies need to communicate. So if Townies don't whisper, who does? Mafia to Witch? Maybe, but there's little reason to have to read whispers since you have maf night chat. Witch and NK, though, will need whispers to communicate. However this prevents this communication because it is so risky.
