Usernames are set on the platform they play on so generally come under those rules and not the game ones in the past.
Interesting question and it would be nice to know if the devs/mods will then report it to the specific platform if you use the end game system or reach out to the player.
Please remember that Dead by Daylight’s end user license agreement which can be found on https://deadbydaylight.com/en/eula (the “EULA”) governs your participation and use of the game and its associated upgrades, patches, and updates and related services. In case of conflict between the EULA and this page, the EULA will prevail.
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

Cheated progress / modifying your save file
We need the profile of the person you are reporting. Reportable via support team.

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.

Targeting specific users repeatedly in order to ruin their game experience
Holding the game hostage In-game report REQUIRED / Customer Support ticket OPTIONAL

About Disconnects bans - DO NOT REPORT
Disconnects are handled by the disconnection penalty system. No further action will be taken on reports.
BAN APPEALS
Cannot be appealed
Temporary bans
Social Media bans/blocks (Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)
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’m mentally out of the stage were a word from someone I’ll never see nor speak too, hurt me, especially someone’s username.
That’s why you millennial kids get scared if a new person at work says “ Hi, my name is ........ nice to meet you.” Socially awkward, that’s what's it called.
Listen, im right there with you for the most part. AssHat McGee probably shouldn't be reported, but there is a line that is crossed sometimes.
There's funny/edgy/weird user names and then there's usernames that only exist to upset or get under people's skins as many people as possible.
Also, you have no idea what the user name was OP wants to report. Instead you just assume it was over nothing and insult them anyway. You seem nice.
Usernames are set on the platform they play on so generally come under those rules and not the game ones in the past.
Interesting question and it would be nice to know if the devs/mods will then report it to the specific platform if you use the end game system or reach out to the player.
Quick answer, no we do not have control over usernames used on platforms such as Steam or Consoles and we do not have the means to pass on tickets to those platforms either.
It's very difficult to report names on a cross platform basis, unless you can find their steam profile you can't report to Steam for example, also bear in mind that different platforms have different name rules so whilst a name might be undesired on the platform you play on, it will be fine on another platform.

Thank you as always.
That is what I thought but the question had never arisen from what I remember so I prefer not to assume.

I've had the same problem when reporting hackers who are on PC because I have no way of going to their steam profile
@Pirscher This might help
You don't need to since it's not a vac ban, you can report them like someone from another console
