Is 3 gen camping in the PTB bannable?

so i saw on tiktok a clip from (Hens) the famous dbd youtuber that he uploaded a clip where he said that he is about to camp those 3 gens in the house for 50 hours so i thought it would be fun to camp gens a few games in the PTB, so i played 1-2 matches and in the end game chat, survivors said they reported me for abusing bugs in the PTB and that i will get permanently banned for it. Can someone dev or anyone confirm if camping gens in the PTB with the house bannable? Personally i see nothing bannable about camping gens in the ptb, it’s not my fault that 3 gens spawns together in the house, i’m not gonna let survivors have free escapes just because gens spawns close together…. in short. I would like to have an answer if it’s bannable or not because even the famous dbd youtuber named (Hens) camped the same gens in the ptb lots of times and even uploaded it on tiktok that he was about to do it, i don’t think a dbd player with a good relationship with the dbd team would upload bug abusing things for their viewers right? If anybody has any clue about this, pls don’t hesitate to reply.

    I wouldn't believe 99% of the things salty end game chat survs say. All you've done is come on here and expose yourself for being kind of a dirt bag. From one dirt bag to another - keep going!

    BHVR has said directly that "holding a 3 gen for an 'extended' period, without downing or hooking a survivor" is considered "holding the game hostage", which is against the game rules.

    Report the player in game, and provide evidence (usually video, or I suppose a steam vod link might work if they don't delete it). And they will ultimately decide how to proceed.

    Although, I personally have little faith that this will do much, since this was a "meta strategy" when they said this before, and to my knowledge no one has ever been banned for it.

    Does the disconnect penalty apply in the PTB? I thought it didn't. The PTB is for testing, it exists in part to discover bugs, and banning people because they disconnect due to a bug would be counterproductive. If I'm right and that's the case, they could've left the match at any time, so if they chose to stay that would be on them.

    If it were not the PTB, it would be different. But I'm pretty sure there's no disconnect penalty in the PTB.

    I didn't think anything in a PTB was bannable, but sure go ahead and report it I guess.

    Y'all PC cousins play nice please 😁
