Best thing to do mate is to turn off the chat box by clicking the speech bubble button next time a game ends and never turn it back on. Or if your on console you can go into the consoles settings and make it so you only receive messages from friends. Don't let some d*ck heads ruin your experience because you're new. People act all tough on this game because it's the internet, they don't have to worry about saying it to someone's face. I hope these scummy players haven't caused you to swerve away from this game. Good luck in your future matches. :)
I have it set to friends only yet people can still send messaged through "messaged requests" it's bullcrap that you can't disable it although you can't turn messages off on facebook either so.

there was a post on reddit made by a psychologist that was on point in respect to how the gameplay of DbD inherently exposes toxic behaviour and responses.
You pallet stun a killer? You just humiliated him, might as well tbag to let it sink even more.
You mind game a poor Bill at a T-L? You humiliated him as well, why not tunnel him eventually?
Oh you use Hex: Ruin? Too bad, I cleanse it immediately and then proceed to gen rush you. Humiliated!
And this goes on and on (the post was much more insightful, but you get the idea). On predisposed subjects this pattern trickles in the meta game, that is post game chat, private messaging, forum.. It's no surprise this board sees so many people banned everyday, and rightfully so.
There's no simple solution though - the only way to soothe things would be to elicit somehow empathy, but you can't really do it in this iteration of DbD; there are too many variables, too much asymmetry.
Imagine if a single game wasn't a single trial, but five (with swf banned though): now one trial you are the killer, the next four you are a survivor, and this would be true for everyone. I can tbag you, of course, but that would happen to me as well, how does it feel, now? To camp, to tunnel, to use a key... everything will enlighten those main survivor/killer.
...or not :).
so, @USNHooligan, I can't tell you deal with it, because no one really can deal with something that's so unfair. But I found a very alleviating process to cope with meta toxicity at least (that is: messaging): if they try to mock you, just answer "AHAHAHA ezzzzzzz", if you lost or won doesn't matter at all - if they want to engage, you just won't accept their field with this non sensical answer, and they'll leave you alone.
Don't argue, just "AHAHAH ezzzzz", that's it, they'll lose interest.
Actually killers have been nothing but helpful to me via messages, I usually get abuse from survivors on my team.

Turn your messages off when playing the game starting out should be rule #1.
on Xbox i tried and it's still happening to me

I have two theories; maybe this type of game attracts a lot of weirdos with sadistic tendencies or the game is just so unbalanced and poorly designed that it manages to get the worst out of people who are trying to be competitive. Maybe the toxicity is a combination of both things.
Probably but at yellow ranks should it really be like that? Yeah you can be competative but not rage and threaten others especially in yellow ranks.
There are amazing randoms who're very helpful but the majority are ignorant

Yeah randoms in DBD can be extremely disrespectful to us new players for example some dude messaged me in caps because I got him killed on a hook before.
People are petty in DBD even at yellow ranks.
Yeah I know I'm not the only one but I seem to get targeted for abusive messages.
