Given there is total less then 30 votes so far (trolls included), I think it's fair to say this ban thing is not really widespread. The other main post makes it look scary.

Gateway user, 9.5 emuNAND. I've been using the MGS3D public header for quite a while, maybe since beginning of January and up until the 15th, in which I purchased a copy of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call and started using the header I extracted from that. I have yet to be banned, although I've only been online for maybe 5 Smash bros games total, other times for Bravely Default online updates, Fantasy life about 3 times to play with a friend, and maybe once or twice for Pokemon Y wonder trades, so my online use has been quite minimal, if anything much at all.

Tsk. No bans using .CIA files or private headers yet.

Whether this proves anything depends on how common those are. If those are rare, it may be that 15 bans without one happens just by pure chance. (Imagine that 1 out of 30 people used exclusively private headers. If so, having 15 bans without a private header would mean nothing.)

What is the rate among everyone of exclusively using CIA files or private headers? Is it much greater than 1 in 15?

I don't know. I've only ever used private headers online personally. Also possible these bans will come in waves and that this one is over for now. Also possible a ban only occurs if two consoles using the same public header are detected while connected to online features at the same time.

We're not likely to get a sudden burst of new, confirmed information on this any time soon, if at all. Just play stuff online or don't, but at least be cautious enough to use private headers or .CIA files if either is an option.

    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like being immature.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Let be immature online ffs.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    As long as it's not resetera, anywhere is ok really.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    resetera is just... cancerous
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    is that Ultimate Hentai Kamen at your avatar?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I see you're a person of culture.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    likewise
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It's a genuinely great manga.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    too bad it never got an anime adaption, even in the form of OVA since a tv series would be too censored for the manga's material.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    and yeah, great manga.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    no idea why it would be censored tbh, it has nothing to explicit
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    compared to most midnight anime that air in japan
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    we talk about same japanese tv that censors shit like teenage characters smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'd rather they censor smoking than cleavage like they do in the west.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Smoking is bad for your health, boobs are good
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    actually anime have also toned down fanservice a lot at the last 2 decades. when was the last time you saw nipples in anime that isnt hentai?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    in quite a few, once the uncensored version releases
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also seeing smoking at media wont make me want to smoke
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at "uncensored" home releases they still show no nipples with few, rare exceptions
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It makes it seem cool, that's why smoking

    comercials were banned here in the 90s.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even ecchi manga dont show nipples nowadays
