Are people being banned/muted for toxic behavior in chat?
Are there any stats on people who have been banned for saying toxic stuff? (i.e #########, die of cancer, slurs, etc.) I think a revamp of the report system would be beneficial to DBD in general. Overwatch has a system where you get notified if a player you reported had actions taken against them. The only person i've seen get banned is Ochido, and I believe it was primarily due to the fact that he was exploiting bugs. And if banning someone for saying that is too excessive of a punishment, then why not mute them?

I dont play on PC. Is there an option to disable end game chat? I suppose the easiest thing to do is to just not look at it, if not. And no, they're not gonna share stats because BHVR will never, ever be transparent to a stat-inquiry on the forums, ever.

you can minimize the chat.
And if people were being banned, there would be a lot of people banned.

People are 100% banned for toxic chat.
However, it's a tiered system, so you wont get perm bans unless it's something serious, and when people are banned for toxic chat they tend to avoid talking at all to avoid the next step.

Yes people are banned for chat offences, depending on the nature of the comments these could be temporary bans leading up to permanent ones.

Yes they are being fully banned. But they really do just need to take the approach of Mute Bans or removing the chat lobby.
Just because a person says something. Doesn't mean that they should be competely removed from the legal right to play the game that THEY paid for. Despite someone not liking what someone said. Even if it was toxic, abrasive or hateful.

I always report people when they say racist things, or when they are being especially hateful.

Here's where your wrong:
Any game says '<Company> reserves the right to remove your access for any reason, at any time.' No one has a 'legal right' to play a game. I laughed at all the script-kiddy scrublords who cried about this in the first Overwatch banwave.
What this means:
If you're toxic, they can remove you. No, you have no 'right' to the game.
Though it's ALSO to cover the company legally when the servers go down. IE: You can't sue BHVR/Valve/Blizzard/EA in 10 years when their game is no longer profitable, so they shut down the servers.

People say that you should just minimize the chat, but the point is those people shouldn't be saying nasty horrible things in the first place. Ignoring them might help you, but they will continue to harass and be toxic to other players. Reporting them is the best thing that you can do to protect others from their spew of hate.
