Spooknjukes
Have you seen Spooknjukes video about cancelling his videos on ttv's?
He was getting threatened and sickening messages about graping his wife and finding out where his kids to school.
Over a video game??????,
Sick in the head.
But confirms what I've said before. If you post messages about people to end their life or get cancer etc then it should be a final warning and then an instant ban.
Devs need to crack down on these comments in post game. HARD.
Can't do anything about social media but can clean up their own game.
Are you listening devs?
And like before I'll get the village idiots saying it's just fun it's just banter.
Thankfully the person has been traced and details passed to law enforcement.
But what if ????????

According to the rules as specified in the Information Center, these already are grounds for perm bans.
Whether they're enforced is trickier to say without giving the offenders any more time than they deserve, though.

Death threats in game are already grounds for perma-bans, but also, unfortunately there's not much the devs can do, since the people doing the threats to Spooknjukes were using other websites.
If it was in game they could, but almost everyone does Not have DBD accounts that are easily traced to youtube accounts, and the ones that do are not leaving these comments.
I wish BHVR could help but it's just an unfortunate product of how the whole thing works

I appreciate they can't control social media but they can can control in game chat where I've seen it with my own eyes.
Sad state of affairs the whole thing is.

If they can remove someone's twitch shirt because of something someone did outside of the game, they can permaban people who did much more heinous ######### outside of the game.

to be fair so can you . I just always have gamechat off . Game is done i just go next everytime.

Honestly sounds like you should be contacting the authorities, or YouTube or twitch or X. You have like 4 seconds of interactions in dbd its self so close the chat and leave if stuff like this is happening to you in game + report of course. Outside of game go else where ok?

Alot of Ttvs in this game are definitely horrible people

They removed Dowsey's shirts because they knew it was him, specifically, who made a video they disagreed with. They knew which account was his because they needed to in order to give him the shirts in the first place. I think it was a very poorly thought out decision to remove his shirts, but that's another story.
The people sending Spooks death threats are doing that with anonymous youtube and email accounts. They have no evidence that connects those random accounts to anyone's BHVR account.
Look, I get it. I wish we lived in a world where people who did terrible things got punished for them. But unfortunately, we don't. If the technology existed to allow BHVR to connect those youtube accounts to specific DBD players and permanently ban them, I would absolutely support them being banned. I'm telling you, as someone who works with technology and also want these sickos banned, that there's unfortunately no reliable way of doing it.

they can start by permabanning RC for funsies. he's one of the primary enablers of this nonsense.

While it's obvious that doxxing and threats over a video game are way too far.
I genuinely believe anybody who is making a career off trying to make video games as miserable and unfun as possible should get the Tyler1 experience and be permanently banned until they can prove they'll stop.

I always mix them up; is it spooknjukes that's the toxic one, or was that spookyloops? I faced the toxic one I genuinely thought his face camping GF was a bot

I wouldn't call spooknjukes toxic (camping and tunneling aren't toxic), but his tactics are often pretty lame.
SpookyLoopz is actually pretty good.
But no one deserves threats for calling people out on their actual, verifiable, BS.
RC is a god-tier gimp and deserves to have his accounts nuked. The only things he does is rage bait and get absolutely decimated in debates.

Definitely not Spookyloops, he seems like he has a heart of gold. I'm pretty sure Spooknjukes was the one who coined the infamous saying "I'm not responsible for your fun", so that's probably who you faced.

The Devs cannot really do anything here and it is also not really their responsibility to do something. What the Devs can do is to ban for death threats and similar things when they happen via the DBD Chat, but thats about it. If someone is doing that on a Discord Server or via Email, it is not the responsibility of the Devs to do something and they are not able to do anything there. Because even if you recognize Nicknames or so, does not mean that those are the actual people behind it.
It is on SpooknJukes to go to the authorities with that and then hopefully get legal action against those people.

i don't want to defend the people harassing him. but what did he expect? he targets hostile, often times narcissistic and unhinged people to make an example of. and that's kind of like swatting a hornets nest. those are often times not reasonable people.
also, i'm reminded of Karl Jobst. i used to really like his videos. and of course he'd make "example" videos too of hackers and cheaters getting caught especially in relation to speedrunning. but then karl jobst got sued and misrepresented why he was being sued and was collect donations to fund his lawsuit at the same time, and then it comes out he was being sued for something totally unrelated to how he had characterized it in numerous videos all while attacking the person who was suing him.
so i think sometimes the guys making the "example" videos that are basically hit pieces if we're honest can equally be scummy and you don't really know what's going on behind the scenes either. you might not have all the information. and honestly, making someone look really bad publicly for how they reacted after a 10 minute match on DBD has always felt kinda scummy to me anyway, especially when you know he was doing it for profit. so take that for what it is.

Not to be a jerk, but welcome to the Internet. None of these things are new. We shouldn't tolerate them and for the most part we don't. It's almost always unstable and/or very young people sending those sorts of messages out.
But… and even the police will tell you this… you have to know the difference between actionable threats and hollow threats. These people are just talking smack and trying to upset you. You have to learn how to be an adult and not let it affect you.

For some context, people were emailing Spooknjukes with pictures of dead, mutilated bodies saying they were planning on finding where his daughter went to school, and there were people on public forums discussing where his parents might live in order to SWAT them. There were absolutely people straying into the realm of "showing motive, capability, and premeditation"

Who?

No Need to BE an adult now a days. Just become a personal trainer or a game streamer and you can BE a teen forever

Spookyloops is nicest guy ever lol. You think otz is Nice? You havent seen spookyloopz!

Camping and tunneling with the explicit goal of causing frustration and hostility to farm for youtube clicks is absolutely toxic.
2 -
As I recall he is doing those things trying to enrage people. So imo that would make him pretty toxic.
3 -
How do you tell the difference though? Is it only when someone kills someone else that it becomes actionable? Taking perceived hollow threats seriously feels like the best preventative measure imo
1 -
I mean, yeah, Spooknjukes will be save over 99% of the time. Most of it are hollow threats, I would agree with that.
But since it only takes 1 lunatic who actually wants to do something IRL to make it a really dangerous situation, this should really not be ignored.

That does add context, thank you.

Actionable threats take quite a bit. Even if someone knows your information and they threaten to do something, it doesn't instantly qualify as one. There has to be legit evidence that something is going to happen, not just a threat.
If they spook you, you should take them serious. Non-emergency is there to talk you through the process. But my point is moreso that the strong majority of threats online are just threats. Even if they're saying they're going to harm you. Take action when it's necessary, but let them roll off your back otherwise.
With added context, I agree. If someone is seeking to SWAT, always call non-emergency and let them know what's going on.
