Does reporting do ANYTHING?!?!

[[BR1] 》Billynair]

I used to report abusive after talk all the time, but it doesnt seem to do any thing. There is another post here asking if they should report. My problem is that this can't POSSIBLY be their first offense, they HAD to have done it often enough to feel safe to do it as bad as they do, so, why are they still playing?!?! Does anything frekn happen?!?!

People talk about how toxic this community has gotten, and yes, it is bad, but, it would be understandable if there was no way to report them, there is, and, yet, the level of cancer in the after chats is BEYOND what it should be, if there was ACTUALLY anything happening.

Is it better for the devs to keep the toxic players, and let the ones who are tired of it go away? is there more money in letting the toxic players run rampant and tell the players who just want to have fun to just deal with it, but stay, so we can make money?

Are you reporting through the form pinned in News?

You can't sell DLC to banned players.

To answer the title :
You'll never actually know. That's the main issue with reporting features on online games.

[bananaplanes]

in game reports do almost nothing. if you see some truly outrages behavior, contact a mod or fill the form pinned in the discussions. obviously, evidence is required

I'm wondering the same thing. Far too many openly racists in these chats.

[Pepsidot]

If the person I reported ends up being banned, It'd be great to at least have an automated email saying so.

When reporting people in Overwatch if action is taken against that player, you will get a notification in-game telling you so, which is great. I then know that reporting that player was worthwhile and I helped combat the toxicity.

Also, I'm talking about the Player Report Form on the browser, not the in-game one.

Report it on player report form too, to make sure your report get to devs. In game reports is not so good because you can't give any proof.

Ingame reporting does nothing at all outside of maybe giving you some hope someone will actually do something about anything.

I think that is the problem though, I think if there was NO way to report, then, I wouldn't expect results, but there is, so i do...

No, the in-game reports do nothing. Just there so that the devs can pretend to be handling the situation. But, like every problem in this game, they're doing nothing worthwhile about it.

Now that I'm playing using a controller (since the wife stole my mouse and I took a liking to the contoller) I will be using window's to record the last ten seconsd of footage and maybe entire matches if something clicks wrong before the match starts. That way I will have proof.

Funny thing is, never sure if I come across a bug or cheaters at times. But the last match I was in had two survivors in cmmunication with the killer and on each other's Steam friends lists... That some grade-A bull. Lead ole billy right to me and blocked me in a doorway. Me and the other random player were hooked within a minute and we both left. I advised the other player to report them but it never does any good.

From now I'm reporting with video evidance on the form. And reporting them on their Steam profiles too.

If you can provide proof they are cheating, report it to STEAM, they WILL tell you when action is taken against the player and their profits come from the player buying a different game, or another copy of the game on a different account - so they don't care about the DBD in game sales - Auric Cells actually hurt steam and prevent them taking a cut of the $$$.

Use steam report feature with proof. in-game one is flooded, thanks to salty survivors.

You have to report through BHVR and submit video evidence. In game reports rarely have an outcome. Ingame reports require a large amount of people reporting a person for the EXACT same thing for it to be taken seriously. With a video, you'll get a reaction post haste.
