Except there's been cases where the second Switch using the same NNID as the one used on the modified Switch also got banned.

I still am. Not because it's a dumb move, but because it helps Nintendo's figures. :x

A good question is, will banned switches be able to download system updates??????

Got-banned-today user here, wasn't using SX OS. Everything I did that could be considered a ToS breach was done in Airplane mode with the access point physically turned off. Woke up to a 2124-4007.
My guess is HBL and LayeredFS crash logs being sent to Nintendo (despite having been turned off in System Settings).
Oh well, what you gonna do.

Wait..What the heck? Where are those crash logs stored? Nintendo is uploading and eavesdropping user data to find people to ban? How is that not a privacy breach?
Edit: NVM. Maybe those are inside a generic kernel crash dump that is being sent to N normally. Still think there should be an option to let user decide whether to send crash report or not. Really seems that N is going out of their ways to ban people. Well. I guess now devs have to pay attention to clean up their shit after crash lol.

But... w-why? Why would someone go through the effort of buying a 2nd switch for modding, but then use the same NNID as their main console? Are people really that stupid? Please tell me this is fake news.

It's all in your ToS

Had a feeling Nintendo was going to be much more aggressive on hackers this time around, very glad to be holding off as I watch and learn how they are supposedly tracking down hackers. After a year or two I may try hacking my Switch, but only after its clear that we have a strong idea of what we can and can not do. I know people want to say that we do know for sure what we can and can't do, but I think its still far too soon to be sure of that at all in my opinion.

 

[ganons]

i messaged him and he said he was banned for account sharing

Can you explain this please?

 

[Xandroz]

[willdunz]

[Kioku]

This is actually exciting in a sadistic way..

 

[Nappa]

There is one, actually.
Conveniently for them, it also seems to be pretty much ignored by the system.

It's not. I saw a thread recently where a guy had three consoles; one for homebrew, one for backup loading, and another one for vanilla use. All three got banned because he was using the same account on all three.

I'm waiting for that reply too. If he connected while in SX, even for the first time, that might explain it
