No one has actually given a reason for banning it.
As far as a practical stand point, it can take a long time for mafia to reach a decision at night. I have started conversations in twilight with other scum if I knew it was going to take a while to reach a decision.

You don't want scum and town talking at the same time.

Plus, if there's something someone wanted to reveal during twilight, hoping they'd get the chance before the mod came in, that's kind of silly to have them waiting around for the lynch vote.

EDIT: I guess you can fix the first problem by not allowing scum to communicate during twilight.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who talks during twilight as scum, since someone who shall remain anonymous invited me to do the same.

I guess this ambiguity means there should be something in the rules that makes it clear one way or the other.

Obviously, I didn't mean to cheat.

I'm assuming mods will be able to mess with things in case there are players whose vote doesn't count, who can vote multiple times, etc. That doesn't sound easy.
