That's Kris, I'm Chels! :P
My reason for not liking OOC / IC accounts revolves around player privacy. OOC accounts make true anonymity difficult if not impossible, and requires creation of a fake alias and/or multiple OOC accounts in the event someone wants to play a character anonymously, or doesn't have an OOC name and would prefer to go by their character name. I am wholly against anything that removes or reduces a player's right to hide their OOC name or alias or not have one at all. I don't have my OOC name on my accounts, not because I'm really trying to be anonymous but because imho who plays a character shouldn't matter and I don't mind being called by my character's names. I realize it does matter to some people but I am very opposed to forcing that mentality on those who don't share it. It is my firm belief that people can, and should, keep their OOC name / alias / which characters they play to themselves as they wish... and requiring an OOC account makes that more challenging.
I also just can't be bothered to have to care about which account I'm on in order to post OOC or IC. I just want to post OOC from whatever account I'm on, which is typically my admin account.

Formerly Farstep. Name changed to suit the fact that he has no known name.
