I think you're missing the whole point here. People want characters to be treated based on the merits of the said character, not those of the person who plays them. So things like forum posts and having an Imm character would not affect how your mortal is treated in the game. People aren't upset that an Imm character is rewarded, they get upset if they think that the character got rewarded because the player was an Imm. In other words, people want things to be more character-centric, not player-centric. It is not bad that the an Imm mort gets rewarded because the character was cool, but it's bad if an Imm mort gets rewarded because of who happens to play the character.

It would help fair treatment of players if Nep* et al. would stop speculating who the player of an active character is and making speculatory PBF comments guessing who an active character's player is. We ban for such speculation in Dio's to promote more character-centric environment in the game. Imms not knowing who plays who helps to promote fair treatment of characters and reduce favouritism, making the experience more pleasant to the interacting immortals as well, without the OOC information burdening the interactions.

*Nep is named due to his admitted speculatory comment guessing Twist's thief being Jalim.
