Are we allowed to discuss or mention this in conversations?
I know the rules explicitly states that, and I quote.
- Linking to, advertising, or distributing cheats or exploits
But what if these exploits have been dealt with in the past and are already removed from the game? I.E. they're now public knowledge for anyone to go and find in the patch notes, and are no longer an issue.
Would you still get in trouble for mentioning them? Because I want to make sure, as I wouldn't want to get in trouble for anything I wasn't aware of.

You won't get in trouble for mentioning an exploit.
Let me explain: when someone opens a thread saying they found this or that exploit and they explain how to reproduce it, what we usually do is sending the report to the team, then we usually contact the poster, explaining what we are doing with the report and if there's the chance that the issue can be abused, we usually remove the steps to reproduce it from the thread.
The issue starts when, after this process, the same person starts posting multiple times about said exploit, that could get you in trouble.

Would either of you @Rizzo90 @MandyTalk know the answer to this?

Ah, so mentioning past exploits in say a comment addressing problems that certain Killers had in the past, with exploits they were abusing is ok. Since A.) They don't exist anymore, and you're not actively giving exploits that still exist and B.) Because your intention was to give awareness to a past problem. You weren't actually giving information for people to abuse, its just contributing to a conversation.
That's good to know, because I try to stay within the forum rules and was curious if even mentioning an exploit can get you in trouble. But now i'm aware on what that rule actually implies.
Thank you for answering my question Rizzo.
