Your going to get a 15 day ban like everyone else
Just do what the above poster said...or just don't be a pirate and actually buy the game and support the developers

You shouldn't get banned if you use .cia
Nobody has reported being banned using .cia so far.
Okay. I'll probably use a .cia then. And I did buy the game but traded it to someone for a GBA gameshark.
Just because they HAVEN'T started banning for it, doesn't mean that they WON'T in the future. The second you hack up your console, you're at risk of banning, basically until the system's dead weight.
The bans are coming from using public headers and .cia files don't have headers. Unless they find a new way to detect if it's a rom or not then .cia files are safe for now
Operative words there being "for now". This certainly could change at any point in time. EDIT: don't get me wrong, I run .cia's online myself, but I know the risk, and I'm not going to be upset if I end up banned because of it.
I played Smash online with a public header at first and then switched to a private header. No ban 
That being said, they could go the other route and simply detect the patches in GW Mode, then it wouldn't matter what you do to prevent it.
I don't think you realize how easy it is for them to check if you're using a pirated cia. They have your eShop purchase history, they just have to check the game against that and they can be 100% sure whether you pirated the game or not. I consider private headers safer, the only way they could detect those is if they have a database of which headers correspond to which games.

"For now" also applies even to private headers, because we don't know what method Nintendo uses to ban people, and if they wanted, I'm pretty sure they could find a way to ban any pirated game.
You guys are taking my posts the wrong way. We are using flashcarts (sky/gateway) that have piracy as one of their main features. If Nintendo wants to ban pirates from online play then obviously they can.
I just answered the OP question "will I get banned for playing smash online". I gave an exact answer of what the current situation is:
~ public headers = not safe
~ private headers = safe
~ cia = safe
If times change then this answer is obviously going to change
Hell Nintendo may find a way to detect if your using a flash cart at all (even offline) and send a nice brick your way. You never know

People would have said public headers were safe before the bans started coming.
There's no such thing. You accept the risk of getting your console banned if you play pirated games. It doesn't matter how you do it. It is 100% detectable.

Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here) -
