* Permanent Bans (2-week bans for other users of the same system as of 6/24/15)
* Console Ban (Whole console is unable to go on Miiverse or use its in-game features whatsoever)

## Trivia

* If you use an @ sign ex. @Starbucks (as telling people where you were at) It could run the risk of getting reported for personal information.
* You can easily be falsely reported for spoilers without using the tag no matter what the post is.
* Under usual circumstances people do not get reported for offtopicness, asking for yeahs, disrespecting other's work, inappropriate reporting (99.9% of the time,) the borrowing of goods, donations (possibly,) & impersonation.
* Letting other Miiverse users use your NNID is very risky as it is likely to result in an ID suspension.
* Mentioning the ROM hack of Super Smash Bros. Brawl aka. Project M for whatever reason can result in an erroneous ban for "Criminal Activity." Refer to the Smash Wiki for more information.
* Most reports usually consist of Hateful/Bullying even if you tell people to stop or if you are using constructive criticism etc.
* Despite advertising being in the Miiverse CoC Nintendo made an update to the web version of Miiverse where other companies get advertised on Nintendo's own social network. The advertising part was not removed from the Miiverse CoC (obviously!)
* If you do certain things with the sexy alt. costumes of Shulk & Zero Suit Samus (in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS) then you are subject to getting reported for sexual content even though they still have clothing on (making it not as obvious!)
* Even though the Wii U has an advanced friend request system that can be used without consequence telling people to enter your NNID in Friend's List is still a violation to the Miiverse CoC.
* The Angry Video Game Nerd's Adventure Community has had screenshots disabled after day 1 of its release due to its mention of vulgar bodily functions etc. & people abused it. A similar thing happened with Mario & Luigi's Dream Team & Kid Icarus: Uprising, but they only had screenshots disabled for a limited time as there were glitches to post in real life or IRL pictures (which were patched.)
* The Meme Run Community was removed entirely along with the game being removed from the Nintendo E-Shop for copyright infringement for the Troll Face & things like Bigley & even the 360º Noscope. This is also evidential because the look of the Noscope was changed in an update. People who bought the game were also able to keep it still.
* Most Miiverse users consider the Miiverse CoC to be hypocritical.
