[2018] This is not clickbait. Ninja got a player banned for having higher ping. Epic just banned the player only cause Ninja reported him. This is proof that Epic BANS anyone who Ninja reports and does not review the player. This is so fucking stupid. Epic Games is extremely careless.

We take the reporting and actioning of accounts very seriously. We treat every report the same and follow the same process to determine what action is necessary.

There are two accounts involved in this: Account A which was the account originally reported by Ninja and Account B which is tied to a YouTube video we discovered

On Oct 2nd, Account B was disabled for reasons unrelated to player reporting.

On Oct 3rd, Account A was reported by Ninja. It was investigated and not actioned due to lack of evidence.

On Oct 4th, Account A changed their display name away from the name reported on October 3.

On Nov 13th, Account B was re-enabled based on a review of the underlying system.

On Nov 17th, account B changed their display name to match the display name of account A at the time of Ninja's report.

We became aware of a YouTube video claiming that we banned (and then unbanned) account B based on Ninja's report, which is false. We hope this clears up the sequence of actions.
