Is unhook spam bannable?
What I mean is that when teammate is spamming unhook on you for entire duration of your hook and you can do nothing about it unless killer comes and saves you from it.
Is it something we can report people for?

I would think so since it's griefing and they refuse to participate in normal gameplay loop.

Based on the actual posted rules it is not:

It is? This is exactly the situation they described. I don't think they're asking if it's a permanent ban lol.

with my ticket on the same topic i was told that this is not griefing.

It should be IMO.
I dont think it is that different from Mori-spamming (back in the day the Killer could stop the Mori and just spammed it for the time it took the Survivor to bleed out... Imagine a Legion doing this to you and you get the constant camera spins). It is not 100% compareable, because Mori-spamming prolonged the Bleedout-Timer (since it stopped when the animation started) and I think Unhook-spamming does not do that.
But the general concept is the same. Also not really nice to look at in second stage when you switch from being unhooked to the characters screaming because of the Entity Claws.

Well that's strange. Idk if they expect another survivor to hook you to consider it griefing LMAO.

Well, you guys are all right. Maybe someone from BHVR might like to make that clear.
The ingame report description, don't match the ruleset very well too

With hook-grabs removed, is there any reason survivors should be able to cancel the unhook action?
Being unable to cancel the action would prevent the unhook spam.

Would be nice if someone from the team said how it really is.
Guess I will just wait and once it happens next I will report and possibly get some feedback on it then

It is working with the other side and griefing. Your teammate is refusing to unhook you even though they can.

This isn't a "die so I can get hatch" or "I couldn't unhook in time" type of interaction.
This is deliberately making sure the other player has a bad experience. It's their only motive. I trust in your ability to differantiate those.
There's no in-game advantage or strategy to physically standing in front of a hook and keep spamming unhook and let go until your teammate dies.

Did you guys know that you cant find the rules ingame? There is an Eula that covers some parts of the rules (mostly cheating and hacking) but there are no rules accessible in the game or must be approved.
There is also no cross-reference from the eula to other ingame rules. Everyone can now think for themselves about the consequences.

Unfortunately no. I've submitting video reports as both killer and survivor when I've seen it done, and each time I've been told that it's not against the rules. Even though it can block another survivor from getting the save, and can cause the hooked survivor's camera to go apeshit and be nausea-inducing.

Yes it is, grieving, holding the game hostage.
2 -
Hypothetically, I could see a scenario where a survivor goes for a save, sees something like an insidious Bubba come running, and needs those extra moments to get away.
But generally speaking, yeah, there isn't much of a case for it still being in.

I had a teammate do this to all survivors, then one of them dc-d and got replaced by the bot and they kept even griefing the bot. It really shows the state of some of the people who play this game.
3 -
yes but they wont get punished for it.
2 -
It should be but it's not. It's griefing at that point because you're outright choosing NOT to unhook the survivor despite being there and starting the unhooking animation. It also has literally no advantage and is solely done to annoy the hooked player.
Unfortunatly BHVR has some weird and questionble choices when it comes to their rules.
