Jesus... I never understood the use for LocalFriendCodeSeeds. If you're banned, you clearly did something wrong and rightfully deserve it. For example, let's say I get banned in Mario Kart for using item hacks or speed hacks. I clearly used hacks, so Nintendo is in the right to ban me. Attempting to circumvent said ban is just going to lead to me being banned again. I've never broken any sort of rule and so, I haven't needed to inject a new LFCS.

Nintendo has the right to ban you an for such a thing as small as having CFW because you're violating a part of the ToS you agreed to when you set up the system.

On the topic of bans because of homebrew and CFW... Perhaps Nintendo has a spy on the scene who is under the cover of a shitposter and has the ban hammer at the ready for anyone using homebrew or CFW... I'm looking at you, @Dionicio3. /s

Um, congratulations? Thank you for sharing? You deserve an award for being such an upstanding citizen? Oh no, we have seen the error of our ways, thank you for sharing your wisdom on how not to get banned in the first place?

Sorry, I'm just not sure what response you were looking for there.

In the meantime, the use for LocalFriendCodeSeed injection should be obvious: people don't want to be banned. Injecting these can unban us. Sure, the public seeds will inevitably get banned, but then another one will take its place, and banned players can resume. And to the best of our knowledge, private seeds could last indefinitely, barring some yet unrevealed method of detection.

My o3ds was hit in the so-called "banwave" a couple months back. I have used LFCS injection to circumvent it. Am I entitled to Nintendo's online services? Nope. Do I have an unconditional right to play my games online? Absolutely not. As far as I am concerned, Nintendo acted completely correctly in banning my system, as even though I use it for purposes I view as innocuous (ROM hacks, custom themes, save backups, etc., never cheating online or even trading/battling with hacked Pokemon), I knew the rules against 3DS hacking, and I knowingly broke them. Revoking my access was the correct course of action.

I didn't unban my system because I thought I was banned unjustly. I unbanned my system because I could, because I wanted to, and because I could get away with it. I did it because even thought I'm not following the rules, I'm also not hurting anyone or disrupting anyone's online experience; in other words, unbanning myself is not harming anyone else.

And I did it because I couldn't access the Pokemon Bank otherwise.

Well stated. I was just stating my opinion. To be honest, I'm lucky I haven't been banned for using CFW.

Fair enough; I would advise turning off telemetry (via Spotpass) if you haven't done so already. As best as anyone can tell, they didn't ban on the basis of CFW, or even piracy: they banned on the presence of homebrew installed via .CIAs. If they get folks like us with some other way, then so it goes. We will have to figure out how to deal with it, whether we can unban ourselves, or whether we are prevented from doing so.

I haven't done so and don't plan to. I live life on the edge.

I don't understand how people are being banned. Never agree to share any information with Nintendo no matter how nice and friendly the characters sound. There's only one reason Nintendo wants to see your personal information and that is to make sure you're 100% legit. Avoid drawing attention to yourself by keeping a low profile. Do not do anything that could get you suspended, banned, etc. If you break the rules such as cheating online then you deserve a ban.

Because there is probably someone who used a LFCS without disabling spotpass . Thus every people that used the same LFCS are banned .

To be fair, the telemetry was almost certainly never meant to be used as an anti-piracy measure, simply by virtue of the fact that it took them years to leverage the feature to sniff out rapscallions like us. Heck, there's good reason to believe that they didn't think their system would be as thoroughly hacked as it is today, given how they designed their security system. Rather, the telemetry was almost certainly meant for marketing purposes. Get an idea of what people are playing, when, and for how long, attempt more targeted advertising based on a person's interest, that sort of thing.
