Confirmation

Confirmation in Mafia can refer to one of two things. The first is an acknowledgment of receipt and understanding of one's role PM. Such a confirm is usually sent out by a player at the beginning of the game after getting his or her role. Some mods will have confirms made in the thread, and others will have them made via PM. This can also depend on if the game is a Day Start or Night Start game.

The other use is to describe a player who is known to be innocent. This can be brought about by many means, including Cop investigations, Flavor Cops, role flavor, and so on. While it is almost impossible to be 100% cleared in Mafia, you can get pretty close. A person that is confirmed innocent is also sometimes referred to as "cleared".
