Clearing This Up, Once and For All
Is tunneling a bannable offense?
NOT targeting over multiple games. Just finding the weakest link on the team and taking them out first.

No, play how you want. The only bannable offense is holding the game hostage. Like body blocking someone in a corner forever without them having a choice besides disconnecting. Only exception is if you body block them during end game collapse because the game is going to end regardless.
If the others are actually good on gens taking out a weak link doesn't matter
Didn't think so.
Been getting a lot of those types of complaints on Xbox recently, just want to be able to direct them to a concise thread.
Eh, 3v1 is way more in the Killer's favor than a 4v1.
DISCARDED REPORTS REASONS
THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT CONSIDERED BANNABLE OFFENSES - PLEASE DO NOT REPORT
* Camping
* Slugging
* Tunneling
* Streamsniping
* Teabagging
* Bodyblocking
* Looping
* Tapping generators with ruin
It's right on the game rules section of the forums that it isn't bannable so it's safe to say yeah everyone you encountered is wrong.
people thought ruin tapping was bannable
Imagine choosing to be a streamer and then thinking the devs will ban people for watching you as they play against you. How would it even be enforced?
surprised streamsniping isnt considered bad since your doing it on purpose to get a unfair advantage over the streamer (like if their running ruin you just can see were ruin is). its basically OoO but better.
That's not the ONLY bannable offense.
Griefing: Survivor player(s) purposely sandbags you, blocks you in a corner so the killer can kill you, taking the game hostage, or continuously keeps showing up in your matches just to make your gaming experience miserable. This can happen with killers too, like repeatedly starting a mori animation and canceling it before they kill you, and the aforementioned offenses of hostage taking, or showing up in all of your matches to single you out. If this happens to you record every instance of it and report it to the devs.
Highly offensive Chat messages: This goes for anyone using Racial, Anti-semitic, Homophobic, or sexist slurs, Excessive Vulgarity, Death Threats, IP tracing threats, or demands that you should end your life. These things are all saved in the chat logs and not only recorded in game, but also not tolerated by the devs, Xbox, or PS4 platform admins.
Hacking: The usage of programs outside of DbD to gain an advantage, hacking the files of the game itself to gain advantages, currency, or unavailable cosmetics is highly bannable. If you catch any player using hacks, record the game immediately and report the player with all evidence gathered.
Exploiting unintended game Mechanics: situational advantages due to bugs, unintended "traps", or faults with the games items and add-on's will be patched once after they are discovered, but abusing these things when you know they aren't intentional is something that will get you outright banned. Examples of this are the recent Legion "infinite mending" bug that made the mending time add-ons stack the time it took players to mend per frenzy strike resulting in players spending 5+ minutes mending, or the Pale rose "Stacking" bug that made it so that if a survivor dropped down the hole on the 2nd level of the main boat and then crouched, the killer could land on top of them and would get trapped there without the ability to down the survivor beneath them, or escape from that position. Exploiting gameplay mechanics like these are completely game breaking and give unfair advantages to players while ruining the experience for others. Again, if you see this happening, record it, and report it asap.
This game is not perfect by any means, but none of us need toxic and unsportsmanlike ######### in the community ruining everyone's fun. You may get angry over minor things like camping, tunneling, Gen tapping, body blocking, Slugging, etc, but those are all very minor offenses that the game allows do to the very nature of the game mechanics, and in comparison to the listed bannable offenses, they are things that have counter play and can be dealt with through player strategies, and good sportsmanship. If you experience any of the listed offenses, start recording, and report away... this community doesn't need any turds in the punchbowl.
How the hell is streamsniping not bannable??
Partly because it's unenforceable, and also because the streamer is essentially accepting that as a risk by putting their stream link up as their username.
