Bannable offence?
I had just a game at hawkings lab, where i finished the top gen (the last one to go) and then was trapped in that room by another survivor. The others opend the gate and left, the survivor just held me trapped and got me killed. The killer came, watched, and did nothing.
Is it reporable for either of them? If yes, where do i need to send the video evidense?

The survivor can be reported for malicious bodyblocking for sure. Not totally sure about the killer, but I doubt it, since they didn't stop the situation, but didn't participate either - they were probably thinking "cool, I get two kills out of this." It wasn't a nice thing to let the bodyblocker get away with it, but you can't report someone just for not being nice.

Killer wouldn't be reportable - they weren't bodyblocking you. Killer would have to start bodyblocking you before gens finish/EGC starts for it to be reportable.
It is reportable on the other survivor for griefing. You'd need to send video proof in a support ticket for them to take any action against that survivor. You'd send the video here: https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Body blocking is not reportable. What is reportable is "taking the game hostage" which is defined as "the action you are taking makes it impossible for the game to end"
If you body block a single survivor, the other ones can still do the gens and leave, so you aren't "taking the game hostage"

Sandbagging a fellow Survivor is 100% reportable, though.

Prolonged bodyblocking a single survivor preventing them to take part to gameplay is reportable. It's been confirmed by the devs.
The post you quoted and replied to is correct in all parts.

The mods and Peanits have stated multiple times if the killer body blocks a single survivor prior to gens finishing it is reportable/bannable.

Make them define it. How long is too long? How many seconds/minutes does it take before it becomes taking the game hostage? This is why the only definition that should matter is "can the game end" everything else is too arbitrary

Well, i was bodyblocked when i repaired the gen, and held there till i coulnt make it out. Is that long enough?
1 -
Long enough to get them killed is a pretty reliable measuring stick, going by OP's scenario.
1 -
Ah ok, so if i set it up so that i body block them for the entire game but they get 1 extra second where if they beeline the exit gate they can escape it is cool?
0 -
Nope, that is still too long. It just so happens that getting them killed as a result is pretty much an automatic "grounds for being reported."

There is no need to give an exact meassurement outside trying to break exactly that and be unsportsmanlike but within the rules.

they don't give two turds unless you plaster it all over twitter

See, I don't think holding the game hostage is even the issue here. The survivor was clearly griefing the other survivor and forcibly killed them by pinning them in place. That's unsportsmanlike conduct and reportable on those grounds; the length of time they did it doesn't matter.

See what i mean? too arbitrary. A dev or mod needs to come out and specify the exact number of seconds i'm allowed to bodyblock for otherwise it isn't clear. You can't make rules (or laws for that matter) based on subjectivity.

Lol that is awful. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
0 -
This counts as griefing and it was once said that stuff like that is bannable.
2 -
It's not arbitrary. Actively and intentionally screwing over your teammate is a reportable offense, regardless of how long it takes to do so.

The problem with putting in a defined time is that trolls will abuse that. For example if it were made official that blocking someone in a corner for 3 minutes or longer were bannable, trolls will start doing it for 2 minutes and 50 seconds.

What was the killer suppised to do?
0 -
Correct, but now i can't know when i cross the line from strategy into bannable.
Like, is 10 seconds fine? What about 60 seconds to wait out DS? What if i'm doing it to wait for someone to die on hook? Maybe i hooked 1 guy, and the other guy is body blocked. So the guy has to wait the 2 minutes for the other guy on the hook to die. Is that bannable? What if i'm plague, and i just body blocked 2-3 survivors in a corner, but i'm in corrupted purge. So now i want to wait out my corrupt purge to puke on each survivor individually and then 1 tap them each. You need to define the terms or you start risking punishing people who aren't actually doing it to be jerks.

This is why they request video evidence, and other details that let them look at the match data, so they can look into things like that to determine if a player is using fair strategy, or being abusive.

Right again. I keep telling you, that means it is subjective. It requires a human to review and thing "uh maybe i dunno it looks bad but what if" It's too subjective. If someone gets reported for it, depending on who looks at it, they may or may not be banned.
It should be objective, not subjective.

But this is not about the killer bodyblocking. What stategic value has trapping a teammate in a room exactly?
2 -
Malicious bodyblocking is 100% a reportable offense. What they did is reportable and bannable.

Did you report them ingame?
As far as I know you need the ingame report aswell as the support ticket with extra Information for them to take Action against a player.
1 -
Yes, i did, but i know that you need video evidence, which i got.
1 -
Define malicious.

A dictionary did it for you. Also, i notice you havn´t answered my question for you.
You seem to be very intrerested in getting a hard definition to what is allowed so you can exploit that. That is not needed. In the end, player will report you (or others) and support will decide, even if there is no hard definition of whats allowed and what not. If you show such behaviour, live with the risk.
