Why don't people avoid hate messages?

So they can claim to be a victim of bullying.1

I forget to turn them off when i play killer. I laugh them off and sometimes have the following responses but yeah they are pretty bad.

Don’t get why people even get bothered by the fact that someone THEY DON’T KNOW AT ALL decides to be salty and send hate messages, lol. Just ignore it and disable the setting that allows everyone to send you a message

Then you will get a lot of friend request with messages. Or at least I do0

Well with your responses I wouldn't expect you to. This is specifically more of a question for people who get on forums and complain about hate msgs...

Well if it's directly after a match you KNOW its a salty/toxic survivor requesting you so dont bother looking/reading. Let it sit there.Scgamecock86 said:Then you will get a lot of friend request with messages. Or at least I do0 -
To be honest some of the messages people send are racists, homophobic, sexually threatening, and telling you to harm yourself. Everyone is different and reacts to things a certain way. Maybe we should have a section for "show me your salt" or "Rage away" I don't know something.

Friday The 13th actually had a GREAT counter to toxicity that was supposed to be placed into the game. It was called the "Salt Mines" and basically anyone who disconnected/rage quit, was abusive in msg or voice chat, or got reported for griefing would be sent on a seperate server to play with others who are the same way. Give em' a taste of their own medicine. Wish they would implement this into DBD.fcc2014 said:To be honest some of the messages people send are racists, homophobic, sexually threatening, and telling you to harm yourself.

That would be good for the disconnecting people so they can go play together the messages not so much. I think it would hurt the player base. If people dc 25% or more of all games played in a season they should get placed in a separate que.

Well sir, this is Dead By Daylight and unfortunately they do. So if you can't take it as I suggested above: fix your privacy settings.Peanits said:The responsibility should not be on the player to block all messages just in case (and then unblock them afterwards).

On console? Pc seems to be the only platform taken seriously for "reporting/dealing with it"Peanits said:

I decided to make a little museum of salty comments on my steam profile, so I left comments on. The best way to deal with salty players is to confirm what they say/pretend you're stupid.
Survivor: Noob killer
Killer: Yup, I'm noob, what's the problem
Survivor: OMG, learn to play
Killer: I killed all 4 of you so I know how to play
at this point they usually don't respond3 -
Lol. That is a great way to counter it. Unfortunately, everyone reacts to it differently which is why I suggested the privacy rebutle for people who constantly complain on forums but don't take action to just avoid it.ShowMeUrBirb said:I decided to make a little museum of salty comments on my steam profile, so I left comments on.

Oh they can't say anything to me period LOL. The day I got 4 back to back messages from four different survivors all different trials was the day I blocked everyone but my friends from messaging me. I never responded because I don't care but I didn't think to report it because I've always heard that PC is the only platform that is spot-on with "taking care of" the toxic portion of the community.fcc2014 said:@Michiko said:
Noted.
Don't let them bait you into saying something they can get you for. Report the message and why.

I turn mine off and forget sometimes. You do meet some cool people on the other side of the campfire when you leave them on.

Peep how I said "supposed to be placed". Pretty much that whole game isn't real anymore so you're right.meshugganah said:Michiko said:

that was never real.0 -
On PS4 I don't get many salty messages, but some of that is due to me being on EU servers so there are a lot of different languages. I actually get quite a lot of GG or nice messages which is why I don't disable messaging, I have made quite a few DBD buddies through messages.
Yes on PS4 people can send messages via a Friend Request even if you have public messages blocked. I think though that there is a way to disable Friend Requests, but that sucks because you have to turn it on again every time you meet someone you actually want to be friends with.

I get more GG messages than hate.1

It does suck. The overall fact that you have you have to deal with this sucks period. People just want to play their game, get their kills/escapes and move along but...

I for one don't disable them simply for the rare occasion that a mature player sends a GG after a competitive match. I also don't tunnel or camp so it's fun to see what excuses people come up with to be upset, " You pay to win" currently being my favorite.

They are like feminists, they like to find something that isn't really an issue and make it an issue.
I read them, laugh and then move on. Not everyone is thick skinned though.

I shouldn't have to turn my messages off and not get a chance to make new friends just because some people like to act like children and send hateful messages. Now having said that I don't give a ######### what some anon stranger says to me. But I've met some really great people because they sent me sugary messages after a match instead of the salty kinds.0

But what you let affect you will affect you. And we live in a current generation where anything can be typed and instantly sent.
The solution? Either not give a #########, or continue on to making your messages private. You're never going to get rid of any aggressive, salty, or rude people.
I understand DbD is implementing new report systems, but let's be honest, it's nearly impossible to ban everyone who harass each other.
If you're too sensitive to what a complete, far as hell, stranger says to you, there's ways around it like closing the chat tab on PC, or limiting messages and friend requests.

Eh, I'm not really the type to send anything. I just get the job done and move onto the next match. I show that it was a "Gg" by just leaving and not trolling/bullying the killer. I'll consider it though, see how it turns out.chemical_reject said:
