When does Bodyblock become bannable?

You have to do It in multiple games or just one is enough?

TAG

A Survivor can be banned for bodyblocking if they are deliberately holding a fellow teammate in place so a Killer can hit that trapped teammate.

A Killer can be banned for bodyblocking if they are deliberately holding one or more Survivors in place without attacking them to keep the game going indefinitely or until people decide to ragequit.

Bodyblocking to prevent hooking or to let the timer on a Reverse Bear Trap expire is not bannable.

As for the number of times needed for the above stuff to happen, I don't really know. It probably just depends on how quickly/frequently the offenders get reported.

Body blocking is only bad when its used as an element to disrupt the game as mentioned in examples above. Tactical use of body blocking is really a game mechanic in a way.

- Bodyblocking a killer as survivor -> never bannable (unless the killer is trapped and can't escaped like the drop down glitches we had some time ago)

- Bodyblocking survivors as survivor -> can get you banned if you do it for several minutes. Can also count as griefing if that's the reason he died 

- Bodyblocking survivors as killer -> bannable of they can't escape and you go afk for several minutes. Waiting out BT is fine btw

You need to bodyblock someone for 5+ (or 10+ , i forgot) minutes withotu anything happening. If there is some kind of timer running (e.g. bodyblocking a hooked guy in basement or RBT victim), then its not bannable.

You probably need to do it in multiple games though before the devs take action

Do reports even work? 

I've seen many games where I chase someone around a pallet and another survivors runs in to join. I thought they were gonna tag team me but turns out the other survivor just squats at the pallet and blocks the original person I was chasing.

Then the squatter drops the pallet on the survivor after I smack the looper once so he can't clip past anything, and becomes an easy 2nd hit for the down. 

I chase down the squatter after hooking the free looper kill.

Easy points.
