Does DBD have any in-game moderation?
I'm so fed up of reporting people only for nothing to come of it, even while other major games with reputations for not moderating their players do... much more. Or at least it appears so - maybe BHVR just don't communicate to us when punishments are made?
But I want to be constructive here without just putting the normal wishlist of what behaviour I think should be punished. So instead, it's a question, to anyone on BHVR staff.
Is there anything that can cause a player to be punished for in-game behaviour? Not something mechanical like hacking, but actually anything a player can say or do that will receive any sort of punishment? Has there ever been? Has it changed?
Things I've so far seen reported with evidence with no punishments:
1) Constant deliberate BM such as teabagging or clicking - I'm guessing this is considered not something you want to punish? I strongly feel like it should be but I'm trying to test the waters here.
2) Killers deliberately just trying to bully one person - reverse of 1, we know this isn't punishable, even though supporting bullies seems.. questionable?
3) Racism and sexism in end game chat - never got any response.
4) Racist names that I can't type here - steam did something about it, but no response from BHVR.
5) Literally doxxing paired irl death threats - again, I never even received a response.
So like, where's the line? I think all of these need varying degrees of action, but actual action - but there's clearly a change in severity here. Should I not bother reporting any of the above? Am I wasting someone else's time by reporting these or just my own?

Did you vote for an improved reporting system on the survey that they gave us just before the update? Or did you vote for skins and cosmetics?

Forget about it, nobody wants to lose their money.

Improved reporting system. We get skins and cosmetics constantly anyway those are direct sales lol.
And yet other major AAA games will punish players for toxicity, whether that's temporary game-bans or being put into their own lobbies with the other toxics.

Can I ask why you still play this game if you've received death threats? I quit playing bc it got boring. While you got death threats and you still play?

I took a 4-5 month break due to the toxicity a ltitle while ago, but I'm back now with the midchapter because I think the game has the potential to be a lot of fun. The community sure makes it hard sometimes though - which is why I'm here, wondering if anything is ever done about the people who are toxic enough to drive others away.
