Is flashlight clicking macro bannable?

Regular flashlight clicking is bad enough, but I just had a match against a survivor using a macro to spam the flashlight clicking at the maximum rate the engine allows, and it was super annoying to listen to.

Since it's a macro, is it a bannable offense? Or does the macro have to actually provide gameplay advantage and not just be a way to annoy the killer?

    It can cause seizures though

    If they're susceptible to seizures, I dont think they would be playing a game full of flashing lights and quick movement.

    No it's not bannable ,maco doesn't tamper with game files nor does it give any advantage

    I'm pretty sure they don't because the simplest thing would probably to dedicate a set number of charges per activation of the flashlight, yet sometimes survivors will go for a flashlight save, realise upon flashing that they'll never get it, and quickly give up the idea to spare the flashlight's charges.

    Forcing the flashlight to go trough all the charges necessary for a complete blind every time you turn it on WOULD stop clicking, but it would also prevent a lot of flashlight saves, and therefore would be a HUGE nerf to the item.

    Maybe it could be possible to add something that makes it so that you can't turn it on/off more than twice in a second ?

    I personally don't mind clicking that much, I have abysmal object permanence so it generally helps me find the survivor in chase if they left my FoV.

    It's not bannable but it should be.
