I hope Ninty does it.
Cheaters don't deserve online play.
Cheating pretty much destroyed online play for DS games.
I agree... but most people will just be using a hacked console to pirate. Whether you approve or piracy or not, it's hard to argue that it hurts the online infrastructure and, therefore, should be a bannable offence (though that hasn't stopped Microsoft and Sony from doing it in the past). But cheating, oh yeah. It'd be nice if the 3DS is kept free of cheaters for awhile.I hope Ninty does it.

Don't forget the Wii, Twin.
Don't forget the poor Wii.

Also Nintendo has banned people before for cheating, but I don't think people were ever banned for just piracy. But Nintendo might change their minds on the matter. Hard to say.
Pirate all you want for all I care, just don't cheat.
Why people create cheats in the first place is beyond me.
Imho, that's the worst drawback of a hacked console/handheld.
Cheaters.
I don't even care if you cheat offline. Just don't cheat online, and don't take your cheated profile online.
Pics or it didn't happen.My 3ds got banned trying to use Gateway online. Says "Unable to connect to Nintendo Network. Reason: Banned."
I found a bunch of miiverse bans but those were all on the wii u. There wasn't any mention of any Swapnote associated bans.
So I would have to assume that your ban was wii u related.

Gateway doesn't make going online impossible. It just makes games going online impossible (to my knowledge). You can still access the eShop using Gateway, but you'd have to be pretty darn stupid to do so. I've used the browser while playing my Gateway tons of times.There's a little problem, gateway does not support online.
