MrSavage receives "harassment" warning on Fortnite, later clarifies it was an “Epic” system error
The Norwegian Fortnite pro, MrSavage, is back in the news after Epic waved off his harassment claims after the gamer received an in-game warning yesterday. This has happened four times in the past with MrSavage, possibly due to mass reporting by angry fans of other streamers.

A few of these warnings lead to bans from play, and if the "harassment" claims still pour in for an account, a permanent suspension is handed out.
