I've never actually rolled scum so I'm not sure how useful my comments will be, but there are one or two things I've thought of. I think you played a pretty good scum game - you were the only one of the scum team with a significant amount of thread presence and sway over the town after day one. There was never any one thing in your filter I could point to and say "scum did that".
I think what you might need to keep in mind is your overall attitude to the game - your reads generally made sense, you didn't out yourself through those, but you never tried to make anything much happen in the thread. You don't have to make any huge gambits like hzflank's Veteran fakeclaim but you do need to look like you're having an impact and trying to push a (town) agenda. If you look at the filter of Hurricane, hzflank, FirmTofu, Chromatically or myself I think there will be a lot more proactive behaviour than in yours. Obviously there's a limit to what you want to do as scum, but you would like to look at least similar to a townie.
EDIT: I don't necessarily mean pushing for a lynch by "proactive behaviour", though obviously that is a good example. Actively trying to generate useful information, and synthesising it into a relevant conclusion, is another example.
