Complain about and report things that AIN'T REPORTABLE? Learn the manual and rules book

Survivors: Camping and Tunneling are NOT bannable nor reportable offenses, neither using ruin, noed or any combination of killer perks

If killers and survivors got a cookie for every time they got reported for unreportable things we would have a morbidly obese community.

Killers: Forcing a DS with a locker and body blocking an escape or hook are NOT bannable nor reportable offenses, neither using an end game DS or teabagging the killer (that's just toxic)

Report things that SHOULD be reported, stop spamming unnecessary reports to the Devs that make them loose time on such things! REPORT DCers, Exploiters, Hostage takers (bodyblocking forcing someone to DC or making the game not being able to continue) and any REPORTABLE offenses you can read in the rules book

    Agreed, why report/complain about silly things when they can just move on

  • Fibijean Fibijean

    To be fair, some of the rules are unhelpfully vague. For example, a lot of people think that bodyblocking the killer when they're trying to hook someone is bannable, because there's nothing which specifies that the only bannable form of bodyblocking is using it to take the game hostage. I think it would be helpful if the ingame rules were a bit clearer about what is reportable and what isn't, to prevent too many false reports from being made.

    Maybe it's a good idea to add the image we have in the forums where it says "this are not bannable offenses"

    Or maybe something like "Before you make a report, please take a moment to read our list of reportable offences" and then a button which links to an ingame popup (the same way the "News" section appears) containing the text from that post.

    Lol I still think it's funny you get reported for bodyblocking a surv. From a pallet but it ok for them to do it to a hook.

    People just don't know the actual rules dude... They believe anything that makes them loose should be a bannable offense

  • Mr_K Mr_K

    The Survivor Rulebook says it is punishable.

    Where are you getting this information?

  • ASAPTurtle ASAPTurtle

    I forced a spirit to pick up a survivor by hopping out of a locker while the survivor was under it when she was planning to search it and saved them. She messaged me, and called me a failed abortion and reported it to the devs.

    Hello, good people of the fog!

    We now have a team Associate Community Managers, as well as an updated in-game report system.
    With your help, we will be able to find the players who are creating a bad game experience and punish them appropriately, making the game a better place.

    HOW TO REPORT A PLAYER

    You may only report things that happen directly to you or in a game that you were in.
    Reporting for other people is not allowed and these reports will be discarded.
    (ie. Reporting someone on behalf of a friend, streamer, or other)

    Fill the In-game report

    An In-game report MUST be made. This is not optional, and is a must to help us identify the person in your game as well as find any other evidence we need.

    Customer Support ticket?

    • Video evidence is required or heavily suggested for some offenses, please refer to the lists below.
    • Whilst you can report offenses directly to our support, please only do so for serious offenses like cheating, hacking, DOX/death threats.

    Discarded reports reasons

    THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT CONSIDERED BANNABLE OFFENSES - PLEASE DO NOT REPORT

    • Camping
    • Slugging
    • Tunneling

    Hacking in-game exclusives and / or legacy skins

    The acquiring of any in-game skin through anything other than official channels (ie. codes, giveaways, etc.)
    The possession of legacy skins without earning them. The cutoff to earn legacy skins happened on November 24, 2016. If a player has obtained legacy skins after this date, then it is considered cheating.
    In-game report REQUIRED / Customer Support ticket REQUIRED

    Cheated progress / modifying your save file

    We need the profile of the person you are reporting. Reportable via support team.
    Using any 3rd party software or other method to cheat your save file or any measure of progress contained within your save file. This includes using someone else’s save file.
    In-game report REQUIRED / Customer Support ticket REQUIRED

    Threats

    Excessive and serious threats against someone, including DOX threats, life threats, disclosing private information, etc.
    You can fill a support ticket to provide more information, Screenshots and video are optional, but highly recommended.

    In-game report REQUIRED / Customer Support ticket OPTIONAL

    Other Hacks

    In-game report under Unsportsmanlike is MANDATORY
    Using 3rd party software or other tools to gain any kind of unfair advantage that wasn’t intended by the game, except if they have been whitelisted by us. We are not banning for the use of communication apps.
    In-game report REQUIRED / Customer Support ticket REQUIRED

    TEMPORARY BAN

    List of bannable offenses

    24h -> 48h -> 1w -> Permanent

    This is a sliding scale and determined on a case-by-case basis. If an offense is considered to be particularly egregious, the duration of the ban may skip one or more steps in this process.

    Any previous permanent bans on your record will result in all future offenses being a permanent ban.

    Harassment: Communications Abuse

    • Insults, intimidation, hateful speech, repeated harassment
      In-game report REQUIRED

    Griefing: Intentional Gameplay Abuse

    • Working with the opposite team to gain an advantage or grief teammates
    • Targeting specific users repeatedly in order to ruin their game experience
    • Holding the game hostage
      In-game report REQUIRED / Customer Support ticket OPTIONAL

    Exploits: Abusing bugs or errors in design to gain a competitive advantage

    • Advertising exploits
    • Exploit bugs, errors in design, or undocumented features to gain access to what otherwise would not be available or to obtain a competitive advantage
      In-game report REQUIRED / Customer Support ticket OPTIONAL

    Specific exploits that we will ban for until they are resolved:

    • Bloodweb Progress/Prestige Exploit
    • 2+ Killer Exploits
    • Legion Filthy/Nasty Blade Exploit

    • Fan sites / Fan groups

    Permanent bans : APPEALS

    Send a Ticket to support.deadbydaylight.com
    If the ban is an automated EAC ban, please contact EAC directly.

    Console bans

    The rules are the same as the PC bans

    Crossplatform ban evasion

    Players who have violated our rules multiple times leading to permanent bans could get their access revoked on any accounts they make if the player is seen committing bannable offenses after the very first permanent ban. The structure and severity of these bans are followed throughout any platform.

    Abuse of Support Services

    This includes making false support tickets and lying to support agents. Our agents are always here to help the community. However, those making false tickets just to get a step ahead of everyone else and take advantage hinders our ability to better help everyone. Penalties include suspension of your support services, up to a permanent ban of your in-game account.

    Just the Camping and Tunneling ones. The Forced DS and teabagging at exit gates are valid non-punishable offenses.
