Shame video thread for working with the killer?

I understand that the policy here is not to "name and shame" and I understand why. I also understand that claiming that a person did something wrong is sometimes subjective and abused. But if we have actual, irrefutable video evidence of a survivor working with the killer (in my opinion the most pathetic, wretched type of player in the DBD community), is it still bad to name them? I mean if we had a thread to post the videos in, would that not help to embarrass and possibly curb their antics?
I was just in a game with someone who made 1 survivor DC within the first couple of minutes but I couldn't see why. Then it came down to me and 1 other survivor. The survivor led the killer to me, the killer strangely favored me even though he could have hit the other guy (who seemed to be bodyblocking my attempt to run away) and then, lo and behold, once I was downed the survivor ran up and teabagged all over me. I was hooked, more teabagging, pointing, etc. I was then "rescued", down again, rinse wash repeat, and the killer at one point downed the other guy (obviously just point farming) then sat there spinning around with him on his shoulder waiting for me to die. EDIT: Nice, lots of "ha"s in the end game chat as well.
If I still can't name these people or show the video, so be it. I just think that in cases like this a simple "report" isn't enough.

Just like how we can't Name and Shame Hackers.
Nor witchhunt their accounts so we can just Mass Report em..
Fair enough. Thank you for the answer.
You report the offenders in-game, and you also submit a ticket (https://support.deadbydaylight.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) with the video evidence.
You're not allowed to post their names on the forums.
you think people like that feel shame?
Thanks for the link, I'm heading there now. As long as something is honestly done about blatant abusers like this I guess I don't care about all the rest. I figured that shaming those who actually deserve to be shamed would help to curb the behavior, but I see now how that could also lead to more problems. I'll just follow the link and send in the video, thank you again.
I've seen plenty of people give what they think is irrefutable evidence of wrongdoing, only for a different perspective to completely falsify that idea.
That is 100 percent NOT the case with my situation, but I understand how that kind of thing can happen.
Wait… why do you think the ‚no naming and shaming‘ rule actually exists?
you say you understand why but proceed to write as if you don’t..
LOL great point. I guess I was just hoping for a way to make others aware of who they are so that they know they're exposed, maybe people wouldn't join their games anymore. With any luck they'll just promptly ban these guys and we'll have 0.00007 percent less toxicity among the community.
Don't expect much the support team basically condone this kinda behaviour as they don't seem to block anybody or of they do it takes well over 100 reports with evidence
My report was answered today.
Submitted video proof plus an in-game report.
Lucky I'm still waiting for an answer about the video I submitted of a speed hacking GF submitted it over a month ago
For sure this isn't something we would allow on the forums - and yes, it would fall well within the Naming & Shaming rules.
We've all seen posts here on the forums where someone claims the other side was cheating - and it's often been because of an aura reading perk/add-on or things of that nature....so then these players would be labelled as a cheat for no good reason. It's also not our policy to discuss other players with 3rd parties and that would completely go against that policy.
Support is definitely the right place to have these videos sent to, they can make the decision as to whether or not there's enough evidence that something is wrong as our team of ACM's (the people who deal with these tickets) are very experienced and know exactly what to look out for to make sure that people are not punished for no good reason.
I'm gonna be honest, if I was doing gens, healing people, and looping the killer, but there's a useless meg who did nothing the whole game waiting for me to die to get hatch, you better believe I'm gonna help that meg die
You would actively sabotage the match for someone on your team - in deliberate violation of not only the rules but the entire concept of the game - because you didn't happen to like what you decided to be gameplay that was insufficient to your own personal standards?
You sound fun 😏
I honestly had no idea that so many people were cool with survivors screwing other players. This legitimately surprises me, but it probably shouldn't.
Its crazy how people don't take a video game that seriously.
Almost as crazy as people being allowed to enjoy their games the way they were designed to be.
You had one match in I'm sure many where this happened. I've been playing for years and this rarely happens so just get over it and move on to the next match.
Look, I understand where you're coming from, and I don't understand the full extent of the whole game and what all happened but I will explain something just in case.
I was in a game against a Spirit and two teammates were dead, I was on the ground, Meg was across the map. The Meg was crouch walking away from me, so the Spirit picked me up allowing me to wiggle off. And I will admit, I lead the Spirit to that Meg because I popped 4 generators (2 with the help of the other 2 survivors), got almost every unhook, and did 3 totems.
The Meg played immersed the whole game, being I did not see her at all whether it be she off hiding or whatever, that aggravated me, so I let that Spirit kill the Meg. Let Spirit down me, and it was her choice whether to let me go or hook me, and she let me go. Even messaged me asking why the Meg wasn't picking me up, and that she hadn't even been in a chase with her. And I just said "no clue".
So if a teammate is actively going out of there way not to help, then yes, I will team up with the killer, because that's annoying af.
Your own subjective experiences and philosophies differ from mine. The report feature exists for a reason, and I used it for its purpose. If someone is going to exploit unintended vulnerabilities in the game's design for the specific purpose of ruining my experience and wasting my time, I'm going to report them for doing so. If that makes myself or anyone else who has reported such things a lesser person in your eyes, so be it.
So you've reported them now get over it. It's not that serious it's just a video game.
And I do understand where YOU are coming from. I too have been the victim of lame survivors. I've played several matches where I saw the aura of a particular player just sort of shimmying along from bush to bush on the far end of a map, or even moving from locker to locker in the Badham basement while I and others struggled on hooks. It does happen, and it sucks. I can totally understand being angry with that person. Make no mistake, that anger is justified.
But, just as I'm being told that the proper way to deal with a rank 20 survivor suddenly running to me, bodyblocking me, teabagging me after I've been downed, dancing with the killer, then spamming "ha" and "ehe" in endgame chat is to report them, I would also think that the intended response to crappy teammates is to report them as well. If I recall correctly there's a specific report category for this as there is for mine.
You came to me politely and I appreciate that so I'm not trying to say that I don't feel where you're coming from. I've had your experience, trust me. I myself just wouldn't sabotage the game back, not to the degree that this person did (even if I HAD just been hiding all game, which I hadn't). I would rather try to do something that will curb their behavior, not get vengeance. As satisfying as that vengeance would have been. :)
And thank you for understanding my perspective as well, it's much appreciated. But even then with your case, after explaining you weren't just sitting in a corner sucking your thumb waiting for teammates to die, I have an idea with the game.
Sometimes a killer (if they are a biased person) find's their favorite survivor, often and not, they'll team up with them. Or if they were both on a different platform from you, they'll talk to each other, and plan to sabotage the others (in this case, your teammates) and it sucks. Or if the killer was on your platform, and had some kind of beef with you or another player, they sometimes (again, depends on the person) will pick a survivor to team up with and once again, sabotage you and your team.
Unfortunately, you can only report and move on, but in the story I told you, the Meg got pissy with me, I got reported, and nothing happened. Because the devs can pull up a log of what happened during that match I think, and will determine who was in the right or wrong, and that could be why nothing happened to me. So sometimes, depending how the devs see things, or whoever looks at those game logs, will determine whether or not the get punished.
this game is not intended to be solely a team game for the survivors. It’s a very legitimate way to only look out for your own survival.
you on the other hand are going out of your way to break a game rule which is actually a known bannable offense.
i do understand why you feel and play that way, but just don’t wonder if this leads to a ban if someone reports you for such behavior with video proof.
You're really on about getting over a situation that I concluded 15 hours ago.
Your thoughts have been made clear four times. To use your own constructive criticism, get over it and move on.
Surprised you haven't just wrote a letter to the manager Karen.
