Topic: Nintendo account bans for no reason

So, about a week ago I found out that I got banned on my nintendo switch account. I feel like many people have had the same thing happen. I got the message, "This account has been suspended due to violation of the terms." Ive played many games on the switch and never used any external thing and have no idea how any of that works, and I'm mainly wondering if there is any way for me to get my account back, thank you for reading.

Contact Nintendo.

Best to contact nintendo

It would be best to contact nintendo

@Skypie If they have provided you with an error code, then look that up. Otherwise contact Nintendo - the US support page is on this link: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/contact

I'd say it would be best to contact Nintendo to let them know you've been unfairly banned

@BMO_Advanced "I'd say it would be best to contact Nintendo to let them know you've been unfairly banned"

I would refrain from making statements when you don't know the reason why they got banned. One should state they should contact Nintendo Support for the nature of the ban and what are their recourse to fix it. They may or may not have EULA violations and we will not know since that is Private and shouldn't be shared with anyone on here. So if the posters doesn't contact Nintendo for why and what then it's natural to assume they did EULA violation. So anyone reading this when this happens don't come asking those on here for assistance with such EULA violations that is between you and Nintendo to resolve.

@SwitchForce
I was playing a game of make this sentence longer I should probably add ''but that's none of my beeswax'' to the end of the sentence

Ah, it's another one of these "I got banned and I dindu nuffin'!" threads. I love these. It's usually revealed at some point or other that the thread starter did something questionable "But just that one time because I was curious, and I immediately deleted it, honest!"

But, yeah, nobody here can help you, dude.

I want to give you the benefit of the doubt but, in my experience, in 9 out of 10 instances of this nature, the player knows precisely what he did in order to get hit with the banhammer.

Of course, you could be the exception. Keep us posted.

Do you play Splatoon 2? I've heard that anyone who's in a match with one player who's hacking (whether the hacker is on your team or the opposing team) will be flagged for a possible ban.

That seems extremely unlikely.

@Mountain_Man Considering I remember Borderlands 2 saves being corrupted because I played online and was joined by someone who had hacked their game to change weapon stats? I'd believe it. If the game is using peer to peer for online multiplayer, it might be difficult to determine which of the players had hacked the game on the back end. Nobody else may even realize the person is cheating, but could still get punished for it.

Not banned outright. Merely just investigated for potentially hacking.

I do have a splatoon 2 and have played it, I will contact nintendo soon, thank you for all the support!

Moral of the story: Don't play Splatoon.

This is terrible advice. See, if you don’t play Splatoon, then you don’t get to play Splatoon. No one should have to go through life like that.

😁

No, the moral is "don't play Splatoon with cheaters". Or maybe "don't cheat at Splatoon because you may end up getting everyone else banned too".

The moral of this story is probably dont buy anything with someone else's credit card that is 99.9 percent of bans now a days.
