Hacking Could modding my switch get me banned from online services?

[MrDuckay]

I plan on installing a modchip into my V2 switch. I've tried searching online and I haven't found any direct instructions on how to prevent online bans. Could I load up OFW and play online games without risk of being banned while having mods installed? (For context, I plan on getting some Super Mario Odyssey mods like online, could that get me banned from playing, for example, SSBU online?)

Yes, yes and yes. Any and all mods can make you get banned. If you don't wanna risk it, don't mod or get a second Switch that is untouched.

If I get banned while using a family subscription, will it ban all accounts, or just mine?

They ban consoles. Not accounts unless you do fraud or charge backs

Shouldn't using eMMC prevent console bans? I can't remember since I stepped away from modding for a while.

Just to clarify, eMMC is the little NAND with the data stored.

I think you think of a EmuNAND (or Emu-eMMC) which is a good way to keep your naughty stuff on.
But the user in this case ask for using mods while playing online, which could get you banned indeed.

Oh haha. I really mess stuff like that up sometimes. Using mods in a game would definitely get a ban. What about a modded console but no mods on a game?

Somethings are fine to run on your console and Nintendo don't ban you.

I wasn't planning on installing mods to use in online games, I wanted to install a mod that adds online to a game. I know not to use mods on public Nintendo servers. Also one small thing, I plan on following Better Gaming's modding guide. Is this guide thorough enough, or is there a better guide I should follow?

No idea to be honest. I don't really mod my games on the switch
