Same like you treat a Wild vessel by its callsign including "Wilde" which inRP would be the most stupid thing to do for them.

I dont think there is a rule for that... But then again we have a lot of unwritten rules.
There is a difference, Nierdackel. Wilde SHOULD be treated like that because you can't see/hear incubi within their bodies. They use normal transponders though. You can hear them talking and know Aha, that is Wespe. You don't know it's Wilde.Wespe.
Otherwise we can be all anonymous the moment we have cloaks. That's not what we should aim for.

Sources with transponders. If you think you can trashtalk people cloaked in space anonymously, you're wrong. Sadly, this is a grey area.
Log into the game, prepare for roleplay consequences.
So...where they silent in space for an hour, or where they trashtalking in space? If they were silent, then you didn't see anything for a full hour. Also its not via radio, its by neural transponder, the same technology used for skype live-time face chat. To boot, if responders told you that the ships were somehow Oracles, does that mean they also tell you when you see a Wilde talking that its a Wilde ship, or that when you see an Intelligence ship that its one of them? Are you saying there is no way to block receivers or transponders, which is easily doable today btw.
So either they were silent in space for an hour, or they were trashtalking in system chat, which was it?

That's how I got it explained over the past years, probably it is close to an unwritten rule. But I suppose applying fairness to whatever degree will remain everyone's own decision (sadly tbh)
Me watching the daily drama turn into yet another Disco-doomsday discussion:

I do consider it logically:
Tags are only to show what faction the player is in (oorply). How would consider tags being taken inRP and every single dot or line?
My statement is that transponders (IFF)=/=faction tags
EDIT: Also no, we were not trashtalking. We were silent all the time (+I don't think we trashtalked, neither being cloaked for an hour)
The said ships were not cloaked in space for farming activity. They cloaked as a means of avoiding a fight, as the cloaks we employ are supposed to do.

Because that Zoner Neph that was there was harming?
I never quoted the Neph.
I related to (like I told you before, seems you're deaf) the Custodi and Core ships that appeared prior to you popping around.
"It's not a compliment, it's a matter of fact. I never saw you whining about stuff when it didn't go your way, you never do ooRP-arranged stuff, you're active, you're good at playing your character ingame and you're neutral enough to not end up as a clown infront of the community."
They weren't around all day. You really should stop argue on behalf of Sharky and Cleve if you weren't around. The thing is, it is really, really easy to, you know, do things and, you know, not hang around somewhere cloaked for an entire hour not responding to people who evidently were aware of the Oracles being present. If you don't have anything to do but doing nothing while cloaked pretending not to farm onlinetime, log off? Your faction shouldn't get rewarded with keeping officialdom for not being available for interaction while screenshotting things without context to throw mud back.
