Totally agree, it would be irresponsible to sell , distribute or use any of this without some kind of warning.
If someone is informed that it's risky, particularly 'Star Trees' , these can't be obtained any other way, other than by hacking/cheating, it's their choice
if they want to use them.
Same goes for critters and feelings wheel, unless you get these legit they don't register, unless you edit the flags for Critters using NHSE.
Any poking of memory using editors or cheats could be picked up quite easily if Ninty have the mind to put a bit of code in the next patch / DLC to
either disable, detect, warn or just remove any items that aren't legit. They have patched their own msitakes / exploits.
If I were Ninty, I would include them in the game so you can grow your own by planting any item where the ground is glowing.
Stars are not easy to get so it's another challenge, very rewarding and they look pretty.
Right , wrong , indifferent, it sells more consoles and brings in new generations to game playing and development.
Personally, I don't have a ban, I don't go online in case I want to at some stage by re-flashing my saved Nand.
I do not condone piracy, I own the game and this for me is educational and enhances my playing experience.
Everyone has different reasons for wanting to use these tools, for the vast majority, they know and understand the risks. We're here to have fun,
share knowledge and experience. Everyone is welcome, has their own opinions and gives their time freely, for which I am truly grateful.
There are far more risks using CFW
We can all contribute in our own way, even if its giving thanks, advice or just dropping by to share.
Thanks Guys, stay safe

Right... Except not everyone knows that these trees are hacked and the risks involved (as the recipient). I've even seen them for sale on ebay - you think those sellers actually declare "oh btw these are totally hacked"?
Agreed, increased the warning font so it's more visible, we have a lot of newbies pass by here.
