Why the hell is it so hard to find where to report a player on these forums?

TheMonadoBoi

I know this doesn't belong here but it's so well hidden I've been looking for half an hour where to report a hacker and I can't find it.

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

NOTE:
We do not control anything that happens outside of Dead by Daylight.

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.

I hope you already reported the player in-game and now only want to give additional information. (If you didn't, nothing will happen.)

Thanks a bunch, I apologise for how angry I sound I was very very tilted, my bad. I did read the FAQs however it doesn't really say how to contact support and that's why I came.

Mandy

@TheMonadoBoi no worries, I think we all understand those frustrations!

Tricks

They need one of these on top of the main website home page:

MadLordJack

It's probably as convoluted as it is so it stops trolls and people without actual problems to report from reporting them.

And if you went against a hacker, I'm fairly certain you need video evidence and an in-game report as well.
