Creators Struggling to have consistent business in Fortnite Creative!

Some things I am Facing as a UEFN Creator

  • Facing 4 false suspensions ( all for 1.13 keep it authentic ) they ALL also fall right before pay period causing 15+ day delays for payout ( my first 3 suspensions were all ruled false by Epic for the same ruling)
  • getting mass reported without any valid claim ( states on the email I have received numerous reports )
  • Not receiving my earnings from my false suspension periods ( even though suspensions were later revoked with full proof )
  • knowing that Epic does not track earnings during suspensions periods even if it is false ( the system does not track and compensate creators for those earnings. )
  • while under suspension, if a payout is coming up and you are still suspended from something (NEW) you will get skipped over on your payout even though it was earned from the previous month that had nothing to do with your current suspension
  • having the hardest time trying to work with the support team ( keep getting automated responses)
  • no response from Epics Legal team after my Legal Counsel Has sent overnight letters with 0 response
  • Having UEFN competitors in same game modes take down all my social media handles for 1 month committing fraud and disallowing me to market my content and drive players to the UEFN platform(edited)

This is what I am facing and others are facing competing in UEFN^ I might have it pretty bad compared to others, but I know others are dealing with a lot of stress and false suspensions/mass reports interfering with business. There is a lot of people trying to fight for what is right and are blessed to be able to succeed in this environment. Unfortunately, for some people like myself it is extremely difficult to have inconsistency’s and numerous attacks every other week. We are trying our best and believe there will be some action taken against bad actors in UEFN and a better set up for safety/longevity for creators in the near future.

I also got falsely suspended once because of 1.13 Keep It Authentic.

My maps keeps getting falsely taken down for 1.13 and I keep getting sanctions because of it. Whats crazier is even if I have 3 sanctions for the same reason, some of them would get appealed and some of them wouldn’t. It’s like the person who’s reviewing it just appeals them when they want to.

And it’s not just us, I know countless amount of people who also got falsely suspended at least once. 2 of them being one of the top creators of the whole community.

I don’t know if the others are getting Spam reported like @GlimpseCreative, but it’s just insane that people can spam report and get people suspended.

Please just look into this, It’s so frustrating.

I’m in the same boat. Constantly suspended for no legitimate reason, losing out on payouts, and having a miserable experience.

I got my first suspension overturned as it was placed incorrectly - however since then, I’ve had two more suspensions and can only seem to reach automated responses like yourself. It also seems like my payout was affected negatively in the month that my suspension was lifted due to being falsely placed.

This needs to be addressed immediately if Epic want people to take the Creator Program seriously. I would LOVE to quit my job and do this full time but I can’t rely on their support system at all. It gives me no confidence.
