Your code of conduct
Everyone has their own ways of playing and their own rules or code that they play by so lets hear yours.
Killer:
- No intentional tunneling though if I just happen to run into you I'm not just going to ignore you.
- No face camping but hag or trapper traps are okay.
- No slugging but chasing another survivor away for a moment is fine.
- No BMing for any reason even if the survivors are toxic
- Keep the gens and survivors damaged as much as possible.
- If I'm playing Drac, yes you may pet the puppy but then im lunging at you.
Survivor:
- No teabagging
- No continuous looping, all out chase or death (usually death)
- No ratting out other survivors.
- No DCing (outside of a real world emergency).
- Flashlight Killer only when myself or others are in danger.
- Don't leave someone on the hook to die. (Taking a few seconds to finish a gen is okay).
General:
- No character, perk, add on or item is toxic they are all fair game.
- There is nothing wrong with trying to hard or too little to win
- Respect the friendly or fun players.
- No matter the results just have fun. Some of my favorite matches are low scoring.

I just play in a manner that i'd appreciate others to play towards me

I treat others how id like to be treated. I'll never instigate but I'll always reciprocate. it's why I love loot bag Springtrap so much. only when people think they are absolutely safe they'll let their true colours show >:)
I'll never fault somebody for trying. I'm just a vibes person. I don't mind throwing a match just to spite one person if it's clear they have some kind of issue. but I'll also gladly go for a 0k if it was fun

I don’t BM (ingame or in endgame chat) unless the opponents start it. If there is no BM, I type “ggwp all gl next” and leave. Aside from that everything else is fair game.

I love this post. I agree players should be allowed to play how they want regardless of how there playing.
Removing Freedom is what's going to make most players Leave the game regardless of what side ur on.

These Entited Rules have always been Dumb and I wish they never excited. Because the game would actually be fun.

Do unto other as you would have them do unto you.
Thats my rule.

These are just the way I choose to play but everyone is different and I support that. Outside of true cheating (aka hacking) there are no rules and play as you like.

As a Survivor, I don't t-bag, spam flashlight clicks or noise notifications. If I power Exit Gates, I leave. If I find the hatch, I leave. If I happen to play with a bully squad and see them harrass the Killer in-game, I don't interact with them at all — and call them out in the chat if they keep being toxic towards the Killer. If I happen to play with a hacker — I either dodge the lobby if it's possible or don't cooperate and make sure to report them wherever it's possible.
As a Killer, I avoid 4 people slugging unless it's a sabo squad. If I keep coming across one and the same Survivor who is clearly new to chasing, hiding, and stuff, I leave them alone and switch to others. I also don't reward snitches — I kill both the snitch and the Survivor they have beef with indiscriminately.

As a survivor, I don't teabag or use flashlights. Tea-bagging is just disrespectful to the killer. I see others doing that at the start of the match. The killer has found us, someone drops a pallet and teabags. Why? And for the flashlights, as a killer I hate when someone steals my chance to hook someone by blinding me, so I don't do it when I play survivor.
If by the endgame, someone who has saved me before is downed, I tried to help them, sometimes ending in me being dead, but I repay the favor of helping me earlier.
I also stay clear from the toxic squad players that bully the killer. I do the gens and get out. And if it goes bad for them, I don't really feel like I have to help them after the all the bullying they did. People forget that we are all humans, behind the screen. No reason to be cruel and frustrate other people just because you can.

After the update we got, im going full sweatlord genrush meta once the event rolls out.
(Posted on : December 4th, 2025
at the time of posting : Pallet density update reverted to have almost every pallet to be a weak 50/50 filler)

Do unto other as others have done unto you in the previous trials.
Thats my rule.

Pretty simple for me.
On killer, I play to my opponent's skill and sweat level. If you're treating it like a tournament, I will too. If people are running into walls or struggling, I'll go for hooks.
I play pretty sweaty on survivor, but I'm solo queue 99% of the time so it doesn't really matter.

I've always felt that the way I act online directly reflects how I act irl; I know it's not the same for everyone, but it's second nature to just not be a jerk when playing and have good sportsmanship.

Personally, this is how I usually play, unless something extraordinary takes place, or when our friend group decide to be silly.
Survivor:
- No flashlight (unless I find one in a trial against a Nemesis)
- No Head-On
- Always trying to help teammates, and being efficient.
- If someone is tunneled, I use Shoulder the Burden to buy them some extra time.
- Blast Mine is fair play.
- Always being as silly as I can, whenever applicable. I love joking around if the killer is being friendly.
Killer:
- Always challenging myself to go for the 12 hooks, unless the survivor team I am versing is being overly annoying, then all bets are off.
- If you head-on me, I will absolutely mori you in the end.
- No slugging for the 4K. I like giving others a fair chance to get the hatch. Doesn't mean that I will not search for it though.

Have fun. If it's not fun stop playing.

I play to win but I dont necessarily go all out. As killer I usually limit to like 1 gen regression, or as a survivor I usually try to run some sort of gimmick, and I tend to put gg in the endgame chat.
Now if someone starts being toxic? game is game.

I just play the game. Never BM even if I get hit on hook or if the survivor is t-bagging me. I pretty much just jump into a game and think to myself "let's see how this goes"

I play how I'd want others to play against me. The good old classic.
And also a big one as in the past (as in before I even started playing DBD) I was a total rage gremlin: I will NEVER under ANY circumstances take frustrations from match A out on unrelated player(s) in match B. I consider this indefensible without exception, as long as we're talking about people just being obnoxious in game and not actual rulebreaking behavior of course.

I feel kind of bad because I technically played very toxic in the beginning without actually meaning to. I would hit people on the hook because I thought it took their health down faster. I camped because it made sense that someone would come for the survivor.

"I would hit people on the hook because I thought it took their health down faster"
That gave me a good laugh
