well has anybody been banned yet? And what if you turned wiiconnect24 off? Would they know then?Shinster said:Yes they would. IMO.
whew i was hoping i wouldnt have to turn off wiiconnect24harrybuttox said:As of right now, I haven't heard any reports of bans. It is possible, but I don't think its a issue until Nintendo sees a threat by it. What I mean is if a bunch of dumbasses get cracked games leave the tickets on their wiis and redownload the game they didn't pay for that when you will start seeing an issue. Risk of bricking? minimal..Risk of update that patches these exploits..Pretty high..As for Wiiconnect24 its safe..Wiiconnect24 only sends update data via messages. Just don't go to the shop channel unless everything that is not supposed to be on there is uninstalled including its ticket.
Source: NintendoQUOTE said:Nintendo WFC ban rumors
We have read reports and been spammed on Wiibrew with the claim that Nintendo is banning Mario Kart users from the online WFC mode if they have The Homebrew Channel installed.
There is very little information regarding the claimed issue. However, considering HBC is not a prerequisite for Mario Kart online cheating, nor does it have any direct relationship with it, and especially considering the ease with which we could change HBC’s Title ID, I think it’d be incredibly foolish for Nintendo to do this. They aren’t the brightest of the lot, but they’re not that stupid.
I have succeeded in playing a perfectly normal WFC match online with Mario Kart while HBC (1.0.1) was installed. There was no sign of trouble or errors at all.
Unless we get multiple, verifiable reports of people who have never cheated at Mario Kart or performed any modifications whatsoever, and who do not have and have never had any other installable homebrew other than HBC and no other modifications (that means no region changes, no downgrades, no IOS16, no cIOS, no warez launchers, and no other unofficial channels), no modchip, and a legit, in-region copy of Mario Kart, I am forced to conclude that whoever made this claim hasn’t done their research properly.
I would like to remind you that we in no way condone on-line game cheating. Try playing like a normal user a few times. I just got a golden mushroom without having to patch memory and screw up other players; I’m sure you can too.

IN...so I think it's during a game, so Cheating/Region-Free, etc...matches for me. I don't think they're going for the HBC..hopefully...Oh, and for me it's clear that now everyone can play without Errors...as I've got this right, they're doing "Bann-Waves" like Microsoft...you're safe on certain days, on some not...Still, and I hate that part, we need to wait for the full truth...we still don't know much or nothing about this...Anyways, I'm a bit shocked that Nintendo has gone so far...never thought they will do this...WiiBlaster said:edit: Well looks like i was to late, someone already posted
Yup, that was me. Better to bump a Thread than making a new one.

Well, that's the question...I've read through thw whole MarioKartWii-Site, where all this started, and it looks like they only bann Online-Hackers (Infinite Stars, etc...). No Offline-Hackers (for now)...But we still need to wait for a final answer...this whole thing is a big mystery...if you can't wait, call Nintendo and ask, if you want

Edit: On a side note, because of the TP hack exploit, Gamestop is buying Twilight princess for $37 and they don't even realize why so many people want the game lol
