Dear bHVR, I wish to use the Post Game Chat without expecting Abuse.
So if you ever complain about the abuse in this game, one or two messages you get back is:
Don't open the Post Game Chat.
However as a social game, I have experienced normal well adjusted players who know what the rules of the game are who are nice to talk to. A huge bonus for playing, However many Survivors seem fit to ignore the rules of the game and what things the Killer can do in the game and berate and abuse me post game chat for doing things which is supported by bHVR as being the rules of the game.
Now don't take this the wrong way, I don't think Post Game will never be free from abuse and I don't expect it to never exist, but I would expect it to be at least rare and abnormal however it is part of daily life in Dead by Daylight. You get abuse in Post Game Chat FAAAR MORE often than any other game I played, and yes I played Dota2 and League. Obviously its because the game is centered on 4 vs 1 that this is a problem.
bHVR you need to do something at some point, cause its a bleak experience at this point playing Killer.
Everyone in Post Game Chat always hates my guts.
Here are some ideas:
- Don't ban a player, ban their chat privilege. Usually it seems bHVR bans abusive players, it would be much better to just ban their chat privileges in forever escalating longer bans from chatting. That way they wont just go to another game and start abusing again. They will just be ground up against our standards of behaviour.
- Stand up for proper behaviour in your social media posts, make sure people know and understand what the Killer and Survivor is allowed to do and what they cant flame the Killer over, or Survivor.
- Encourage other players (other Survivors) to stand up for other players receiving abuse.
- Implement systems for commending ruthlessness and malice for Killers. aka Killers doing their job.
- Implement changes to the game that influences the player into being more well adjusted with chat.
I have no psychological training to come up with a better solution, but I hope you hear me and that you too desire to improve these issues. Because if you don't its gonna be bleaker and bleaker from here on out.

Don't really care about that, just let me disable that profanity filter...
Some players are toxic, nothing new. If you can't take it, don't use it.
No need to ban players(their right to chat) just so you don't have to deal with it.

Yeah, I'm kind of hoping bHVR desires a better world too, than the status quo you are fine staying in, with this post.

I would first start with carrot and then with stick.
There were suggestions for players to be able to show gratitude by giving a few bp to other people. This would also help w end game chat.
If this is not enough, then maybe think about possible punishments after. Or at least allow chat being hidden by default.
I would go for any kind of ban system only after the other options just didn't work

You can already hide it permanently if you want.

Cool. I didn't know that. Endgame chat does not bother me

I am more bothered by that terrible profanity filter.
Let me disable that, I can survive reading few insults...
Seems pathetic you can't write kill in game about killing...

Part of me is now glad that at times its not available to console players and I have my messages set where only friends can buzz me so I do not hear no baby qq from a survivor or killer.

especially considering it sometimes censors nonsensical things. Like I have seen "gg" being censored. The strange thing is, that it's not even consistent.
