Is Tinkerer II Bannable?

So I was looking at the Steam forums and saw in a post that somebody said that Tinkerer 2 is bannable because it's an "exploit".

It's the steam forums, so of course I assume it's wrong.

But I just wanted to double check here. I assume not because I believe it's a bug similar to the instablind flashlight epidemic.

EDIT: It seems a lot of people agree you can't be banned, but I would feel warm and fuzzy if a dev or community manager would confirm it :)

    No, you cant be banned for just using a perk.

    I doubt it's bannable. Gonna be hotfixed rather soon.
    Tho, spreading the fact it's buggy is probably very bannable.

    oops

    The good news is that not many people have nor have the capability to get tinkerer II specifically.

    It would only be bannable if you could take the game hostage with it or would be able to get to spots that are unreachable, but since it's just a TR bug, it's not bannable.

    In my opinion it's the games/dev's fault if people are capable of using/abusing bugs for their advantage, but don't be surprised if people dc because of it..

    I am used to DCs. Everytime I play doc, survivors pull the cable so fast I cant even laugh as doc :wink:

    I think every player is used to dc's - whether it's a salty killer or a salty survivor - but killer's see a dc in every 2. game I guess, where survivors only see a killer dc if he plays bad and can't catch anyone or if he get's a bad map..

    i will under one condition.  you provide me with a list of names of people whom you have altered your behavior for.  this, to conform to whatever emotional whim they are experiencing at any given moment.

    now, please...be seated.

    is there...like a reset button or...even a recycle button on the back of your head somewhere?  i've heard robots that were less repetitive.

    Not to be this guy I find survive with friends groups can be annoying as well but most survive with friend groups aren't a coordinated Mission Impossible like group.

    Most of the time they're a group of friends goofing off and they spend the majority of their time on comms moaning and complaining at each other ever time one of them makes a mistake.
