Is any of this bannable? : Please don't reply to this post! How do I delete this!?

Edit 1: I created another nearly identical post, immediately after creating an account. After creating the post, I didn't see it anywhere. But I did see a message saying the post needed to be approved before appearing public. And there was a prompt to verify my email. After verifying my email, the post was still not showing up. I figured it wasn't finallized because I had not yet verified my email. So, I created a duplicate post. I want to leave this up so the one responder could see my appreciation and explanation before deleting this. If this post interests you, you should see the other identical post. I will be deleting this post tomorrow, after rat...(can't remember and cannot see while editing this) has a chance to read this.


Edit 2: I'm not seeing any way to delete this.



As Survivor: My build focuses on healing and rescuing fellow survivors from hooks. I’m a sneaky survivor, good at out-maneuvering the killer, and an excellent rescuer. Sometimes, there is only me and one other survivor left, and they get hooked. I am often able to rescue them. Sometimes we both live. If it looks like only one of us will live, I will sacrifice myself for the other survivor to live. If we get all the generators and the door open, and the killer gets little to no hooks or gets no kills at all, I will often let them hook or even kill me out of pity and to be a good sport.

Moving forward: My build will focus on self-preservation. I will no longer unhook nor heal anyone but myself. I will not run from killers. I will continue working on generators when they attack me. If they down and hook me, so be it. I’ll try my best to unhook myself and get right back on that generator as quickly as possible. My goal has shifted from saving other survivors and myself to working on gens and getting through the exit as fast as possible.

As Killer: I count hooks. No survivor will die until every survivor has two hooks already. Once every survivor has two hooks, I kill two survivors. The remaining two are spared. If they understand they have the option to live, I’ll even lead them to toolboxes and generators.

Moving forward: I will tunnel, slug, and camp at every opportunity. Every hatch will be slammed shut.

I don’t think I will be providing as much enjoyment to other players in the game as I was before. There will be many games with no survivors except me. Instead of playing as an altruist, I will be mercilessly selfish. Many people disagree with these play-styles, but they don’t break any rules, as far as I know. So, would any of this be bannable?

Also, could I be banned for my current playstyles? Allowing survivors to survive and leading them to loot boxes could be interpreted as "helping the other team." Allowing the killer to hook or kill me could be interpreted as "helping the other team."

I read the rules on this site, but some of the rules are extremely vague and very open to interpretation. I assume this will only be answred by other players, but I don't know; I'm new here. In case no one official from BHVR provides clear answers, is there somewhere on this site I can reach them to get answers?

I'm not interested in your opinions yet. I'm not here to argue. I will provide context later. But one thing at a time.

    None of those are anything close to bannable. If you're satisfied with the number of hooks you got with your killer and want to goof around with the survivors, that's allowed. If you want to give yourself up to the killer that's allowed, so long as you're doing it at a time where it won't change the course of the match (if multiple gens are left with 2 survivors, or if all gens are done and your teammates are probably out safe). In some cases giving up your life to help others escape is probably a really good team play

    The rule exists only to prevent survivors from intentionally harming other survivors by leading the killer to them. That's the only real thing that breaks that rule.

    Thanks for your answer. You may recall this post originally began with a disclaimer regarding a duplicate post I had posted just prior to this. The other post was not showing up, so I wasn't sure if it made it, as I hadn't yet verified my email upon creating my account. Well, the original post showed up with a few responses. I'm going to delete this post in the next day or so. I just wanted to give you the opportunity to see this message beforehand.
