you must not read much then because I've read on here numerous times that Nintendo does do ban waves on the switch, which is likely why I haven't been banned yet.From what I've read on here they don't really do ban waves on the Switch. They just ban you pretty much instantly.
Why would they do ban waves on the Switch?
Depends on your offense. If it's cheating online or using stuff like FreeShopNX to access the CDN server then yeah count on an instant ban. Every other ban is done in waves. They gather data over a certain period of time then ban every flagged user in one fell swoop. I can only speculate why they do it his way though but honestly speculation is pointless, all we can do is wait and seeFrom what I've read on here they don't really do ban waves on the Switch. They just ban you pretty much instantly.
Because they had no proper method of detecting it. Now, they can seriously detect it.Because that's how Nintendo has always worked?

There was no ban wave for Switch yet (IIRC) and I am pretty sure that they had more than enough time for at least one.Again, it depends on the offense. they only do insta bans if it's online cheating/hacking or using FreeShopNX. Other small offenses are done in waves
Seems like I'm in the clear then. I've never cheated online but I have used layeredfs to try out some games (Haven't been banned). The only thing im concerned about now is my 3ds with their new antipiracy system. Both have the same account.From what I've read on here they don't really do ban waves on the Switch.

If you can find a thread about it...I'm pretty sure there was at least ONE ban wave for the Switch already, really early when the pirating/homebrew/cfw scene was just starting
Nintendo account and Nintendo ID can be linked to each other in your My Nintendo settings > User info > Linked accounts. Not sure how effective unlinking them now is, but I'm also not sure what the benefit/purpose of doing this is either.The same ACCOUNT or the same E-MAIL? Because i'm pretty sure the accounts on the 3ds and the Switch are two different things, one being Nintendo ID the other being Nintendo Account

You only get instantly banned if you cheat online OR if you use stuff like FreeshopNX to access the CDN and download shit for free. Other than that it's done in waves, it's always been done in waves and there has been no reason to change that
So then try to install a nsp game and play it online, you´ll see that they indeed will ban you kinda instantly.
If it was me behind the helm, I'd actually conduct the banwave sometime after the online is paid for. This way, you enact a false sense of security for the hackers who haven't been banned yet and are now willing to pay for online. Once they drop their $20, give them say a month or so and drop the banhammer on most but not all of them to keep the non-banned on their toes.
