I understand that this is primarily a UE5 subreddit, but I don’t know where else to post my problem since it closely relates to Epic Games.

My account was suspended again on FAB yesterday for violating the platform’s rules.

To be clear, I have nothing against FAB’s rules themselves - copyright protection, trademarks, and corporate policies absolutely need to be respected. The real issue is the platform’s fully AI-driven moderation system. There is no human factor and no real opportunity to discuss or appeal sanctions with an actual moderator.

Every time an account gets suspended, the seller loses the ability to sell their models for 14 days. But the bigger problem comes afterward: once the suspension expires, every single model has to be manually re-approved from Draft back to LIVE status before it can be sold again.

If someone only has 30–40 models, this may not seem like a huge issue. But imagine creators with 500, 1000, or even 2000 models, and there are many sellers like that on FAB. Every single model has to be manually reviewed and republished just to restore the store and resume sales. It is extremely frustrating, time-consuming, and completely unnecessary.

And even after doing all that tedious work, FAB can easily issue another sanction and suspend the account again for another 14 days, forcing the entire process to repeat. That is exactly what just happened to me.

This needs to change. Why doesn’t FAB simply remove or disable the problematic model(s) while leaving the rest of the account untouched? I understand that some spam accounts abuse the platform by uploading inappropriate content, and bans may help discourage that behavior. But the current system is also punishing legitimate creators who produce high-quality content and maintain massive model libraries.

Examples of sanctions that happened to me multiple times include absurd reasons such as:

-->having the phrase “cracked asphalt road” in a migrated Sketchfab model description

-->having a random cigarette lying on the ground in a city scan

I’m asking someone competent at Epic Games to seriously address this problem, because I believe it affects many creators on FAB.
