Self anonymity mode and PC players cross platform anonymity
BHVR, the self anonymity mode is only being used by people who cheat, exploit, troll, lobby snipe or allow another to use their account and they don't want to receive the repercussions of the poor mistakes that person made. It is useless as a Killer since it only works 1 time in a match and has given so much distrust to other Survivors that a large portion of players refuse to play with an anonymous player. There is no good reason to use the self anonymity mode so it should just be removed. On the topic of anonymity, let us discuss the cross platform problems with PC players. If they have a common username and you try to find them should they be cheating to report them it is impossible to search through tens of thousands of users on even 1 PC platform. I suggest giving the option to instead show their profile ID number and change the cross platform icon to show which platform a player is using, Epic Games would have their logo, Xbox theirs, PlayStation theirs, Windows store, Steam etc. this would allow not only a tighter security on holding cheaters accountable but allow other players to give people props for their amazing assistance in a match. I know people are going to use the reason that that would increase harassment to PC players but that amount of players that do that is maybe 0.1% of a players interactions and PC platforms tend to have a harsher security to their communication misuse.

Anonymous mode does not prevent you from reporting players. You report them in-game as your normally would, and check the Game Rules to see if additional evidence is needed to be sent to Support:

The game has to have a tool for players who have genuinely been harrassed, and for players like streamers, who are prone to being targetted and griefed. You can't remove that protection just because players with bad attitudes also use it.
The mode doesn't even shield cheaters, as you can report them in-game, so BHVR will know who they are regardless.

I am not talking about in game reporting, I am talking about platform account reporting.
