You’ve had such a rocky road full of … strange, anomalous bugs or something

Thank you for recognizing @Hardcawcanary 😛

Is it appropriate if I tag @Flak here or is it considered spam?  
My apologies.

Hello there, I hope I am not interrupting and please forgive me but I am having an issue with Matchmaking on my maps again. Please could you submit this ticket higher up so that people are able to play my maps again? I have been having roadblocks on my maps for quite some time now. I am wondering, am I going to have to force delete this creator account due to the internal issues I have been consistently having?

@Hardcawcanary  
It truly has been a rocky road for this creator indeed.  
If only I could have ONE map launch without account / publishing roadblocks.  
When will epic games respond to these issues?  
should I just make a new account?  
I can’t handle this anymore.  
P.S. I appreciate your sage burnt in honor. That means the world to the unsuccessful journey so far. I really do appreciate your understanding and responses to guide me when I came here broken to these forums with no solutions. We can only try everything in our power when it is still out of our hands.

I recon Flak would have grabbed your logs from the other post already,

The system is so massive, the amount of code needed must be like an expanding mountain with devs burrowing into it here and there.  
Theres like 30,000+ creators too, which is probably why theres no response from epic.

I have read a lot of posts in these forums, and your situation (spanning years now) has definitely been unique with deeper issues beyond all the troubleshooting efforts on your end.

If this doesn’t get fixed, maybe making a new account would be better, it’s like one of the ghosts in the machine is coming out of your creator portal.

Haha the ghouling ghosts, looking like a cow outside on the farm where i live. Well I’m going to make a new creator account at this point one day. Thank you @Hardcawcanary  
I am in recovery from an emergency heart issue so I cannot use my computer to create until I get better! Soon we will revamp Fortnite Creative i hope we can make a difference before it’s too late! It’s my biggest dream
