A question regarding body blocking
So I was afk for a bit, came back and there was 1 gen left on the game map. So I go to the exit gate to open it and of course some survivors come over, now this is by the white van and the pallet. A survivor drops down the little ledge, in between the van and the railing pallet area. I take a few steps back and boom they are stuck. Then another person comes by and drops down into the area getting stuck as well. the last gen was done and the door was opened after a minute, so the endgame collapse started, the two people that where in there died to the end game collapse.
Is that still considered body blocking/ game staling even though they willingly went into that position?

Are you the one blocking them from falling, causing them to be stuck? And if you were to move would they become unstuck? If you said yes to both of these, then yes, that is considered body blocking.

If they couldn't get out because you were blocking them in there yes this is considered bodyblocking and it's bannable.

Only a yes to the second part

Then I'd say it would be bannable but I'm unsure.

Of course this is body blocking but its not taking the game hostage, so it's not bannable. You didn't trap them in a place indefinetly, your intentions wasn't to troll them, you just waited for the timer to run out so they die. If it's a valid strategy why would it be bannable.

because there is literally zero counterplay. They were trapped in place indefinitely, or at least would have been if not for the endgame collapse. That's taking the game hostage by definition.

Yes, if there was no timer it would be, but there was. Also having no counterplay is nothing close to being bannable.

Im not sure but I think its opnly if you completely halt the game by blocking all alive survivors. As long as there is 1 person left they can still do gens and leave and the rest will die to the EGC

Because the End Game Collapse was on going this is not considered holding the game hostage as there is a definite end

If this started before EGC started, it's most definitely reportable, as you are preventing those players from doing anything in the game so that is taking the game hostage on them.
If the EGC had already started, then it's less of an issue as the game will end. It does all depend on when EGC was started in this case.
Reports are looked at on a case by case basis.
