### 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.

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

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The same file in the same unpublished project counts as one sanction (later versions merged), and appeals on identical content get the same decision.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

### Platform(s)

PC

### Additional Notes

Project ef94f4de-67d2-4755-b040-fcbbdc6efcc8, files T\_LDN\_Card\_KX125 and T\_LDN\_Card\_RR125 (sanctioned versions listed above), support ticket #27511788. The files are being deleted from the project and will not be uploaded again.
