One flagged texture in a private test project = 16 sanctions and a 1-month restriction; identical appeals got opposite decisions

Summary

Two UI images in a private, never-published UEFN project were flagged (UEFN asset rejection, Nudity & Sexually Suggestive Themes) because of a sticker on a downloaded vehicle livery. I accept the rejection of that content and I am removing it. The problem is how the system counted it:

  • The same two files were re-scanned on every private upload of the project (each Launch Session creates a private version), so one problem became 16 separate sanctions on November 10-11, 2026 (versions v91 to v114).
  • Appeals on these identical files got opposite decisions: v108 and v110 were lifted, v91, v95, v96, v100, v105 and v106 were upheld, and others are still in review.
  • The total of these duplicates triggered a one-month creator restriction (publishing, payouts, sponsored campaigns, playtests), which cannot be appealed in the Sanctions and Appeals portal.

Assets

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have an asset in a private UEFN project that the automatic content review rejects.
  2. Before the first sanction notice arrives, start several Launch Sessions (each one uploads a private version).
  3. Each private version receives its own sanction for the same file.
  4. Appeal every sanction with the same explanation.

Expected Result

The same file in the same unpublished project counts as one sanction (later versions merged), and appeals on identical content get the same decision.

Observed Result

16 sanctions for 2 files, opposite appeal decisions on identical files, and a one-month account restriction caused by the duplicate count.
