Summary
After publishing my map and uploading it, I got an email saying its approved, and when checking in Fortnite it was live on the server, even though in UEFN I suddenly got a moderation warning, saying i “Failed Content Review”. On the pop up, there were no violations listed and my map was uploaded just fine so I thought it was just a bug. There were also no changes in my map that could’ve suddenly caused this. Following the link in the pop up to “My Sanctions and Appeals” it turns out there actually were some violations, too many to fit in the pop up apparently. I got about 90 sanctions regarding LuckyBlock static meshes with the Reasoning “Respect IP Ownership”.
I only have 30 Lucky Block static meshes in my map but I received 3 sanctions PER LuckyBlock, probably from messing around trying to get rid of the moderation warning before I noticed there were actually violations in the island. All the LuckyBlock models are the same, only differing in their color.
I appeal the first sanction with the reasoning “The LuckyBlock models were made from scratch in blender with the question mark using the font “Mochiy Pop One” which is a Google Font under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1” and the sanction got lifted within a day. “This is great” I think to myself but appealing to all of these sanctions one by one will take some time, so before that I switch out the LuckyBlock models so they use a star instead of a question mark to be even more safe from copyright. This made the moderation warning disappear and I was free to publish new versions of the map now.
Then I continue appealing the rest of the sanctions. Yesterday the second appeal was lifted which was a great sign to keep appealing the rest using the same reasoning. Today I woke up and another 6 sanctions were reviewed but this time these sanctions were upheld. There was no reasoning given, I did not receive an email and the sanction itself doesn’t provide a reason. There should not be a difference between these sanctions and the lifted sanctions as they reference basically the same model with a different color.
