Were they banned from installing through FreeShop, or were they banned from playing a new game online that they installed from FreeShop, that wasn't released, essentially revealing their piracy to Nintendo?

Most common ban before 11.8 was save editing and playing game online before street date. There are ban for people on 11.7 for random reasons, there was some thread about someone being ban using pokebank. 11.8 has ban focus on tickets list being sent to nintendo.

Alright, interesting to hear how Nintendo detects it. Some even claimed they did it based on activity log ? But banned because of save editing. How do they detect that? I thought save edits were local, unless of course, you play some online title where save edits can be detected?

should we really play offline like this guy says? As I see things that he says aren't like the same I read in this post.. what do you guys think? Plus I loaded up some games after Luma update and 11.8 update and I just opened freeshop sometimes didn't install anything only viewed something do you think I might get banned for this? (I was online)

The thing is it is not implemented in 11.7, I have nnid linked to my hacked 3ds and I am not ban as far as I know, but there have been report of people being ban for installing game through freeshop on 11.8
I couldn't find any reports of people getting banned on 11.8 due to freeShop. Could you provide some links/screenshots?

First of all, don't listen to that guy. Everyone in the hacking community considers him an idiot for a lot of reasons, including that he never does his research properly, like in the video you linked which was full of misinformation. The post I made, on the other hand, reflects what's actually been found and properly documented
Second, if you only opened freeShop but didn't download anything, you're not at risk

alright thank you very much! I will download some games using the villain 3ds before server changes!

Isn't he just some attention grabbing youtube nobody? Listened to his annoying, full-of-it voice or 15 seconds, before I ran away. Who but Nintendo knows what they are looking for when they identify ban targets? This youtuber and many others don't know. All they know is they have an idea about the data that is shared from a 3DS with Nintendo when using online services. The bans will be coming at some point, in waves, this is what we do know.

"All they know is they have an idea about the data that is shared from a 3DS with Nintendo when using online services" lol he doesn't even know that, since he believes that simply going online at any point would get you banned, even though it's been confirmed you only risk a ban if you use a certain type of applications

There isn't much point if you don't go online, but since I believe it won't make any difference with bans, I would update anyway

For example, people who used PKSM to get Pokémon which aren't legitimately obtainable during regular gameplay ( due to unusual stats) and traded/played online with them got banned

Last time I checked, it actually wasn't known if updating non-legit games via the home menu would cause a ban, but updating from the eShop was considered safe
So your saying its safer updating through eshop rather then home menu either if non legit games?
