I'll just quote my posts about this.

Should that count when it's never been opened? My banned console never touched it, my unbanned consoles never touched it.

Well since I never touched it, wouldn't it mean that it's not activated? I booted it up, and apparently it's automatically set to "Off," and in order to turn it on, StreetPass has to be activated. Since this was a first time boot, I was presented first thing with the option of enabling StreetPass, and I turned that down. So since this was a banned console going through this, I can safely wipe out this app as a cause for the ban.

This isnt the reason vutbit was a good thought
Ok so before I continue I made this post because I myself didn't see any posts talking about this. So I'm just sharing this.

On my little brother's nds, i found out when he met me that he could see my most played game/most recent, and that made me think. I went to the settings and I had Spotpass disabled. But there's another option.

This option right there. It's another thing that sends information to Nintendo. That made me think: This setting, when enabled, sends to Nintendo information (obviously), but may also send your most used game. That means it might show other people that we're using some "illegal" tickets (such has homebrew launcher, save managers, ect.) if we use them a lot, and that Nintendo might know that because of this option and know that we're using CFW. I don't know if that's clear enough, but yeah, better disable this. What do you guys think?​

I opened this app like... once or maybe twice when i first used my 2DS. I remember using it for a bit but ended up not liking it and disabled literally every single setting, even streetpass. I just checked now and everything is still off including the sharing info with Nintendo.

Still not banned

OP
I think usage data *within* Mii Plaza has no relevance to get you banned. It probably reports to them how much time you use the app, what you do in it, etc

I don't know if that did something for the ban wave, I just share what I found, and tbh I don't see why they won't collect data for what you play the most.

...imo, it's more likely that the bans are related to online cheating (Mario Kart hacking, Pokemon genning/wondertrading, etc) and/or having people in your friends list that have been guilty of online cheating...

If that were the case I wouldn't have been banned. I have no friends and I don't play online much less cheat online.
