Additional Notes

Left-Hand not talking to Right-Hand is a bad look. I can’t see the example anymore so i guess you are working on it, but in the meantime - please consider talking to your other hand?

oh. actually, I was scrolled to the bottom searching for T:Transaction, but now looking at the window, it’s actually called
"In-Island Transactions" - so… yep, the reaper is still very much there-and-active hahah :upside_down_face: :hammer:
(screenshot in reply - sorry i didnt upload that in original report)

Plz consider bringing it offline until you clear your own banned content.

This could be a perfect time to re-discuss putting a revision number on the feature examples BTW, and putting a reminder about the long-term discussion needed for us to re-base to the updated examples.

screenshot of the disallowed Featured Example active in New Project panel:

BTW if anyone curious, here was the feature-request for at-minimum: revision-numbering on Epic’s Feature Examples.

I have also referred to versioning these examples in a different feature-request: revision-markers on your documentation pages… but it seems this one has already been discussed internally. :person_shrugging:

I suspect the offending article is these code snippets and the QR code.

Much like their discord moderator bot which warns/bans you for linking to Epic Games documentation webpages, it’s clear that this QR code of theirs which is linking to their own website has been marked as illegal.
At least it makes more sense in this case, shame it sanctions even for “pressing play” though, and not even publishing a private or anything.

This should be fixed, could you give it a try? The team apologizes for the trouble here! @Hicsy

FORT-1017134 has been ‘Closed’ as a duplicate of an existing known issue.

Definitely not fixed. I opened the yesterday, then shut it down before any sanction could happen. (there were other issues on my computer that kept me from launching a session, so I closed UEFN and restarted my computer, then just didn’t get back to it until today.) When I opened the project today, I got slapped with a violation and sanction for the same thing about the QR code.

This is the second time I have received a sanction for an image that was placed in a template. I was told that the first one was due to my moving the image from it’s original folder, but not actually changing the image in any way. Still have that sanction on my record, and now this one is added to it, just because I wanted to learn about the new features added to UEFN.

I appreciate that you are trying to fix it on the template so that it doesn’t continue to happen. However, since the sanction has already occurred for me, and the for the original poster, what is happening with that? Will those sanctions be removed? I know that we are all told that they aren’t that big of a deal, but I feel that they are. Especially since it is for something that we had zero control over.

I opened the Template Island today and saw that I had a sanction
(SanctionVersionID from the Safety Site is 8b63f161-14d0-4303-a307-6b411637b00a)


Will those sanctions be automatically removed from our profiles? I have sent an appeal hopefully it will get accepted and the sanction can be removed. I’ll update if it’s rejected

Update: It got rejected unfortunately

Unfortunately, there has been a REGRESSION.

The Feature Example Template in UEFN as of 18th November 12:03 UTC has the same problem when opening

Hi all,

This is resolved with the release of 39.00. Any sanctions related to the “FullDocQRCode.uasset” usage from the template will not impact account standing.
