[2020] Does anyone actually get banned?

As someone who spent all morning going through reports, yes, absolutely. They get dealt with one by one. Sometimes the proof we get isn't sufficient so we're unable to do something about it.

Do you guys ban people who hook-farm their teamamtes on hooks?If so,i need to setup my recording software because i get hookfarmed too often.

Depends. If it is clear that the person is working with the killer and farming at someone else's expense, yes. But if it's possibly just a careless unhook because they want the points, no.

Is this strictly for the forums? Or are you talking about in-game reports?

In game.

In game.

Its not necessary that they work for the killer.They just work for themselves.They just unhook over and over again to get the points.

If they're doing it right in front of the killer and the killer is allowing them to repeatedly unhook them (i.e. he's not chasing the other guy), that starts to be a problem. If someone's getting chased and unhooks someone careless, much as it does suck, we don't ban for that. It's scummy, but it could be considered a valid strategy as they are trying to dump the killer on the other guy to save themselves.

Originally posted by Black_Fence: Well the report I sent was a video of a guy standing by the hook fake unhooking (so like starting the animation then stopping it) over and over again and blocking me from unhooking the poor dude. He even admited it was because the guy said that he was going to put BPS down. But I keep seeing him in games and he keeps trolling me because he know I reported him D:

I remember dealing with this report yesterday and I can confirm that action was taken. Softbans for griefing start at 24 hours. If they're still griefing, I encourage you to record it and report them again. Bans will get longer and eventually turn into permanent bans if they don't stop.

So on a related note is using Bond to intentionally sandbag players over and over to save yourself fine? As long as it isn't specifically to grief the other players but to be a selfish player?

Yes. We don't ban for scummy playstyles so long as the intent is to save your own booty rather than griefing. Though if you were to lead the killer to another survivor, sandbag them mid chase and then teabag the hell out of them, that would be griefing.

But dumping the killer on someone alone, no, absolutely not. You might make some enemies, but you won't be banned just for that.

It's all on the to-do list. The system we have in place right now is just a temporary solution while the tools can be developed. Hopefully one day you'll never have to do anything more than click the report button in the game and let the game handle the rest.
