Constant Harrasment and STALKING by a player.

I have had a player constantly harassing me and stalking/tracking my in game names and social media/twitch activity for almost 9 months now and there doesn't seem to be anything i can do about it? It is now affecting my ability to be able to stream and enjoy the game and i'm feeling like the only way to to escape them might be to start a new account? It feels like if i upset anyone at all (tunnelled or bought a perk you didn't like or maybe my ex partner) you just pop over to this person and they start a smear campaign on me.

PLEASE does anyone have any ideas?!?!?! Because some of the threats and topics are borderline criminal.

    If they're targetting you in game across multiple games, that's a reportable offense. Report them in game the next time you see them with evidence and they can get banned from DBD for it. Threats of irl violence in the end game chat are also bannable.

    Outside of that, BHVR can't really do much. If they're threatening you in real life I'd advise speaking to the police about it. This sounds like it extends past DBD as a whole.

    Repeatedly targeting and harassing a particular player in game is absolutely reportable, as noted in the Game Rules, with the In-Game Report on the player Required, and a Support Ticket Optional (but you can add further information in the ticket, including video or screenshots from the match).

    In regards to harassment outside of the game, we cannot assist with that issue here. Harassment and targeting would need to be reported to the other platforms they are occurring on, and a serious issue such as stalking would need to be brought up with local law enforcement.
