Does anything happen with reports of serious harassment?

I'm not talking about mere swear words and vulgarities, though I report those when they go on for a while or are particularly messed up.

I'm talking about racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, like hardcore ongoing stuff. Not just slurs but some of the more graphic stuff I didn't report in the early days.

I don't need an answer from a dev or a mod, they're busy. Maybe players can tell me. I always report in game and I always report with screenshots now through a support ticket, but all you get on a support ticket is a form response saying they're 'investigating', which is fine, I'd rather they focus on doing what they're doing than bother updating me...

Unless they're not doing anything.

I've read that the suspension tiers are 1day -> 1week -> 1month ->permanent.

Does serious messed up post game harassment including encouraging people to "#########" etc "f-slur" "n-slur" etc etc ever result in any action, or are reports just band aids? Anyone have any thoughts, experiences, proof or knowledge about this? I'm going to keep reporting it unless someone official tells me those reports do nothing, but it can feel futile when you get horrible stuff. And from people in red ranks, too, which seems to mean nothing's been done to them for a long time.

Edited to add: I am playing on PC, reporting on PC, and adding support tickets with steam ID64 of the people saying these things + their in game name + end screen

    Quite early on, when I started playing, a survivor threatened to find me and kill my family (a nice welcome to DBD), I reported in game and I've never had that player's name come up in another match so I think BHVR does take such things seriously and acts on them when needed.
