Have Blocks on Anonymous Players Prevent Re-Matching With Them For 24H

If I play a match with a non-anonymous bad/toxic/cheating player, I can currently dodge any match lobby if I remember or write down their name. If they are using anonymous mode I have to instead dodge all lobbies with the same anonymous character, and even then they can still swap characters or turn off anonymous mode and you would be none the wiser.

Too many people are using Anonymous Mode to abuse it, and I just had a cheater match on Mother's Dwelling hiding behind Anonymous. Sadly, they were only subtly cheating until endgame so I did not record the match. (I normally only start recording at the first hard proof of cheating, and hope they do it again.) An anonymous Kate picked up a slugged Rebecca and healed her to full within the span of the animation of me placing a Dwight on hook. (For both the dying state and full heal, and only during the hook animation lock did both the heals take place, not during the pickup and carry time.) The usual suspects of For The People, Adrenaline, etc. were not selected (and the gens were already popped so Adrenaline couldn't have happened). Also neither the Kate nor the Rebecca had any heal speed perks at all. Brown medkits with weak add-ons were the only thing the team brought, so it couldn't have been that either.

If we have to keep this bad idea that is Anonymous mode, at least make people not using it have an option to deal with it better.

Alternatively have an option in the same area as Cross-Play On/Off for "Include Anonymous Players". This option would NOT affect the role queue BP reward like the Cross-Play Off option currently does.

TL:DR Block against Anonymous = 24H personal matchmaking ban. (You two do not end up in the same lobby)

AND/OR

Menu option to not play with Anonymous players. (Does not affect role incentive BP.)
