Report system Question

So i looked trough the report system ingame and saw that under the griefing category, bodyblocking has been listed as a reportable action, but this as i have understood is in fact not a bannable offence. If it refers to the game being held hostage, example bodyblocking the basement before the patch i would understand, but holding the game hostage is listed as a separate reason for reporting in that category. And also with perks like we are gonna life forever and mettle of man wich incentivise bodyblocking hooks among other things this seems really weird. Aand also in the latest stream Horvath even mentioned that it was still possible to block survivors coming out from the basement if you rock side to side to get a hit.

Im asking because i did just what Horvath said in the stream to get a hit on the injured person from the basement holding him there until the borrowed time went out, and as usual the nice survivor left a message that was saying he was gonna report me for bodyblocking, wich i was like pfftt, thats never been bannable, but then i read the report system and to my surprise it said it was.

So my question is therefor is bodyblocking in general a reportable/bannable offence? Or is it not? If it is not, then it needs to be specified or removed from the report system.

  • So i looked trough the report system ingame and saw that under the griefing category, bodyblocking has been listed as a reportable action, but this as i have understood is in fact not a bannable offence.

    I've never seen anyone get banned for it except in the case of holding the game hostage.

    I think it also refers to when Survivors do it to each other as well. If its a reportable thing though I'd assume it is.

  • It's talking about body blocking such as the survivor locking another in the corner or the killer locking a survivor in the corner for an hour or something

  • Yes this is what im assuming is what its for but just listing bodyblocking is to unspecified considering there are many legit ways to bodyblock if a mod could give final answer it would be appreciated.

  • @Karltastisk Yeah I did a small bit of digging and found this old post talking about it.

    Its only bannable if used to grief someones game. Meaning to hold the game hostage, or to assist the killer to kill a certain survivor, or to ruin other survivors experience by blocking them in chases, etc, etc.

    Bit unsure of this and I do not want to break the rules.
