Update after almost 5 years of the 7-day wait period:
Over the last couple months Wiimm and me worked on improving the ban system to detect people who are trying to get around bans, and so far this seems to be working. Due to Corona, lots of new people are trying to use Wiimmfi who never used it before, and are running into the 7-day wait. To make it easier for new people to use Wiimmfi, we have decided to remove the 7-day wait under certain conditions:
- You are using a real Wii or WiiU. Dolphin users will still have the 7-day waiting period
- Your console has never been banned in the past.
- You are not using any kind of identity spoofer that modifies any of the data the game sends to Wiimmfi during the login
These criterias should be true for nearly every new player on Wiimmfi, and we hope that this helps to get more people on Wiimmfi, especially those who are currently in quarantine due to Corona.
We're hoping that our new ban system will be able to keep people out who are just trying to circumvent bans, but if that doesn't work and people find a way to stockpile different NANDs / identities again, we might need to bring the 7-day ban back in the future. Also, all the limits for how many new consoles or profiles you can create in a certain time are still enabled.
