Make false reporting bannable

Agreed, I've had players that have said they have reported killers for "camping" which is beyond stupid how can you expect to ban somebody for not leaving a hook? lol

This in-game reporting system does not support evidence provisioning.
as such - no evidence - no crime - false charges = false reporting - banned for telling on cheater.
nice?
What if we add gray zone where you see cheat on screenshot/video but moderators can't? Or it's not obvious to everyone
What if moderators decide wrongly based on not clear evidence?

you're just going to get everyone banned for reporting cheaters.
It should be done on case-to-case basis

If they do it the survivor population will become so short that no one will find games anymore.

How about giving the sore losers a way to avoid playing any particular killer for a short amount of time? If a survivor gets salty allow him/her to avoid a killer for about 24 hrs. This way a survivor can act on their frustration and maybe they will leave the false reporting alone. Also if a survivor ends up avoiding too many killers they essentially blocked their opportunity to play for a day or so.

Or just go against the killer you are in the lobby with and play the game..

There are always going to be salty people and I thought my comment was a constructive way to compromise and ease the false reporting issue. But that's just my opinion. Telling people to just shut up and play will never work.

Few things to remember here that often get overlooked.

1. Reporting for camping is because devs haven't done a good job letting newer players or most of playerbase not aware of it. That camping is a legit strategy, the same is true for pallet looping. So unless and until they do those reports will happen. It wasn't until @AlexAnarchy told me about it and linked me the video I was aware of it. Now granted i started the game a few months ago or so.

2. chat abuse should still be reported, the we're all adults here isn't true and even some of the adults act like 6 year olds. If the jerks don't get nailed early, they'll just get emboldened and do it more. I actually laugh at most of the insults post game and only report for the line crossers to me. Teh death threats, racist, homophobic etc.

3.Abusing the report system should get you a punish but 1 month ban for 1st talk about draconian. You'd turn people away from reporting entirely out of fear that gasp they might get nailed for a valid report that couldn't be proven. Most places give you some leeway but eventually start making your reports worthless unless you're really bad at abusing it then they nuke you with harsher punishments.

I've had both sides threaten to report me falsely because gasp I didn't give them a free win or kill, I mean good grief I'm not going to run up to the killer and say ehre take me I'm yours. For survivors it's either why didn't you save me from the camper, well duh and or you only did 3 gens etc.

As a killer it's wah I'm reporting you for tunneling me, well geez you keep pallet looping me and you have a flashlight.What did you think was going to happen to you I was just going to let you go after smacking you? No, I'm hooking your ass and since you keep running into your teammates i keep interrupting the gens progression.

They report for things that aren't even crimes:

Camping.
Slugging.
Hatch standoff.
Not rescuing a fellow survivor.
Farming a fellow survivor on the hook.

They report for things that SHOULDN'T be crimes:

Post-game insults - Sticks and stones. Get over it.
Holding the game hostage - Last remaining survivor hides because they feel like they can't do a gen without being killed. Do you expect them to kill themselves in an attempt to fix a gen? No, fix your game BHVR, either help the killer find the survivor or help the survivor make progress (or both).
Three gen strat - If a killer is doing this and not chasing survivors, it's because he thinks a gen will pop if he stops patrolling them. Is he supposed to take the bait and chase somebody while the others repair? No, fix your game BHVR, help the killer catch them or help the survivors repair faster (or both).

"Reasonable games have built-in rules and simply do not allow illegal moves to happen in the first place." - David Sirlin.

The ONLY thing people should report for is hacking. Speedhacks, seeing through walls, etc.

ehh idk about post game insults thats harassment isn't it?

I never said the false reporting thing was a none issue. You were talking about not going against certain killers cause of "reasons". That is why I said you should just play the game.

I've actually had ppl threaten to report me if I report them for reporting me while they were racist, homophobic, etc. Those i just laugh and think to myself go right ahead.

That’s good idea but for post game insults I don’t agree on because at the end of the day majority of people that play this are adults I come across those having a go for not healing not getting someone off hook even though your being chased yourself and there graphic by what they say that in itself is bullying and 90% of the time that’s children or childish men who don’t like losing. What should really been done since console gaming and that game it self is for over 18s they should be banning the kids from the game permanently as well. Most play for the fun of it or some to rank up but majority of us don’t say nothing unless it to help each other the chat isn’t there to bully people

Statistically that's not true, look at the survey results i believe majority are 13-18 years old. adults sit at about 11% at least in my age bracket I consider to be mature adults.

you sound like a liberal.  

lmao.  flagged!  i thought being called a liberal was a good thing?  realistically, it isn't but a liberal would say it is.

Wasn't me since I don't consider that to be flag worthy and not sure who would.
