Did you try unlinking it or did it not work because your console got banned and not your account? This might serve as a clue towards differentiating bans.I deleted everything. And did not go online to unlink account.

Can you try un-linking it now? Or does it prevent you due to the console being banned?When I formatted my second switched it asked me to unlink, but I didn’t try, because I didn’t want to go online until after I finished formatting it.
It won’t let me, because it’s banned. I can’t even link an account.Can you try un-linking it now? Or does it prevent you due to the console being banned?
Well, it was worth asking. I'm just trying to find a better way to differentiate between banned consoles and banned accounts. I mean Nintendo probably can un-link it for you since it seems like your account's not banned but that would be too much effort for one person to check something so insignificant practically.It won’t let me, because it’s banned. I can’t even link an account.
Given that he still has eShop access, they actually just might. They had the chance to ban his account but didn't (yet). An unbanned account with a banned Switch is about as good as an unbanned account by itself. They can take the chance he buys another Switch to do the same thing over again and decide to ban both.His only option to unlink it now is by calling nintendo support, but even then I don't know if they will do it...

This would be great if it was only a console ban. So if you buy another switch you wouldn’t lose all of your purchased games right?Given that he still has eShop access, they actually just might.

Anyways, I will now be asking all contributors to access the eShop from a non-Switch device to check if they have access. I'm actually unsure if anyone had any account bans at all considering everyone seems to have the same error code meaning they're all console bans.
An eShop ban has worse implications than a console ban. If just your console is banned, then you can't use their online services from that device. You can still use the Switch however you want because its yours legally, the online service is not. eShop on the other hand can contain your purchases which you may or may not legally own. Not sure how Nintendo decides who to ban the eShop from or if it can be legally challenged, but it would appear they try not to ban accounts as much as possible.This would be great if it was only a console ban.

No its fine, I'm looking for an easier way to check for a console vs. account ban so I can add it to the questionnaire. Making every person who is banned call Nintendo to just see if they can un-link it has too many problems associated with it as a proof-of-concept.I made the account figuring it would be banned. If you want the information so you can do testing, I’ll send it to you.
Edited, cheers@CaptainKRN and @danny1corder Both of you need to answer which version of SX OS you used when you went online. If you never connected online with SX OS, it will be the lowest version of SX OS you used offline.
This is just for my own knowledge, but how long did you use 1.0 for? Offline and online time combined?Edited, cheers
It'll be 99% offline. I never launched a game or eShop or anything while connected to wifi. Turning flight mode on was the first thing I did if i launched without it already enabled.This is just for my own knowledge, but how long did you use 1.0 for? Offline and online time combined?
