Survivor insults and harassment toward killer should be BANNED

I can't relate because people are scared to do that on Playstation because Sony actually punishes them, surprisingly. It has really cleaned up my messages from all but the corniest mofos. In this game at least. Overwatch added the PC chat to console and you can type whatever you want there.

If you are on console you get communication banned pretty easily for harassing messages

I reported teo people for such instances. One of them argued with me about the viability of tunneling, camping and that proxy camping from hook to hook wasn't patrolling. When I didn't concede to his POV he started throwing slurs about my perceived sexual orientation at me.

Another onehad actually a very good, yet sweaty, game against me, which I won, in the end. I said something "phew, that was an intense game", to which he said in some east European language, that I won't disclose here, that he wishes that my mother dies soon and that her funeral day should be made a national holiday. He also called me a shovel head.

I mean, if you have to throw around such insults, at least do it in English if you don't strongly suspect that the other speaks your language, what's the point otherwise?

But also, just don't. Wishing such horrible things on the other player or their loved ones is as low as it gets.

BTW, in case you don't know how to report: first in the endgame chat you can click next to the name on a button with a thumb up/down pictogram and report that player for grieving, language abuse, bad sportsmanship and exploiting. This alone is not much, but its very, very important (read mandatory), as this creates a ticket in BHVR system with the names and date of everyone involved.

Next make a Screenshot of the endgame chat. If you are using Steam this is F12. In epic or on console, I don't know.

After this go to this link

And chose "additional player report information".

There you can write what happened, have to provide your very own player ID number, which is extremely long and can be found at the very bottom of the in-game configuration page, and also upload any screenshots you got of the incident. You will also ask if you already filed an in-game report.

This all takes quite some while and might feel a bit excessive / petty, BUT it's the only way how we can give the bad apples a stern reminder that their behavior is not cool. I don't expect that they will be banned, but I guess that even an email with some questions, and the knowledge that you are now reported, might influence a lot of this peeps to curb their lose mouths and behave a bit better.

A shovel head? Now THAT is a step too far. Some people need to learn that words have consequences. You never know what is going on with the other side and to say something like that is just utterly disgusting.

I got called names yesterday by 2 people that ended up dying to me in haddonfun with boons.

They had to boost their own ego by calling me horrible names and saying they died because they wanted to not because i was just able to kill them.

Survivors you are going to die sometimes. I was fair killer in goddamn haddonfield with meta perks and boons, so stop being a child about it and accept that you just wont win every single time. I've accepted the fact that i will lose a lot due to maps and boons already.

I still try to play fair and all i get from it is bagging and insults. I might as well start tunneling you down. Let's be honest id probably 4k more often if i did.

I mean sure if you're gonna imply that general harassment is good for the community then please do go on. Tell me your thoughts

So you must have people in your life that talk down to you every day right? Because that's normal... right?

See. A little bit of sheit talking at the end, that's ok, like with the old wrestling matches.

But a lot of the people there cross certain lines regularly. When I smash someone at a table tennis match, I might say "Fufufu eat dirt, dirtbag!" and maybe get a laugh out it, because that's what's expected and ok.

But insulting their mother, wishing harm on them for that one good ball they dealt me and cursing their family or insinuating that the death day of their mother should be a national holiday, THIS I would neither do nor allow to fly. Just imagine it in any normal setting.

Video games are not the real life, but behind every single screen sits a real, breathing, feeling person. A human being. And while in today's day and age a lot of people are over sensitive and got no skin whatsoever, this here isn't a snowflake issue. These people, who insult so freely, either lack boundaries in their lives, education to know how to behave or just plain are at that age were they think being that edgy is utmost cool.

No one here is talking about a perma-ban or something like that, but a 72h period to sober up wouldn't hurt most of this peeps.

What a strange thing to do by instigating that you're OK with harassment and then turning a new leaf after being confronted with a problem... crazy dynamic on these forums

They take it seriously but be sure to report every offensive message (or a word) individually because it is even more effective.

You can even abuse their automated system if you are smart (and maybe a little bit mean) about it since they don't look at the context. For example "kill" even when meant like in game kill is considered offensive.

You can even get your "friends" banned if you had long chats just by reporting words that are seen as offensive even when they are not meant for insults. Probably even perma banned lol.

Always be careful who are you chatting to and the words you type when on ps. I learned my lesson once and I also learned to take advantage of it to get rude people banned. I can play dirty too.

They don't ban hackers so they certainly won't ban griefers.

I'd actually be all for a wrestling-style smacktalk, because in some ways being comical like that lightens the mood for both people. An example would be when I got a 1k as Nurse and one person messaged with "ggez" and I replied "Yeah? Well, if it wasn't for the sheet wrapped around my head you would have been killed. Playing blind is hardmode buddy!". Got a laugh from them out of that.

I know that's not the same as harrassment obviously, and all forms of abuse or harrassment should be dealt with. But if people really were annoyed, my advice is if you somehow have to message about it, make it comical and light-hearted, and focus more on joking about yourself as much as others. It eases the stress, and ultimately it does make you realise that at the end of the day you're both 2 peeps playing a game. Being Mori'd is not like having your family name slurred.
