Please be careful when uploading your DA!!

[Tobyjgv]

Some people have been reporting other's islands for very unnecessary reasons, and their DA's have been taken away. An ACNH instagram creator put their instagram in their comment on their passport, and it got reported, and their DA was taken away, meaning people couldn't tour their island anymore. Nintendo probably doesn't want to have people's social media tags in their comments, due to possible scams/selling of hacked items, so please take away any sort of social media tags, if you have any! Additionally, if you have any hacked items, please be careful with who you share your island to, as people can also report your DA for having things like star trees, etc. Apparently on ACNH twitter this is happening a lot too, so just please be extra cautious!

good to know. TY.

People are so mean. Yeesh. Thanks for the info!

Some people have been reporting other's islands for very unnecessary reasons, and their DA's have been taken away, or their save data have been wiped.

Wait, there save data has gotten wiped Like, all of it? Their entire island? Did they do anything wrong for that to happen?

Now I'm paranoid

I dont think they can wipe your island it's saved locally. Probably delete your dream code.

Ah! I'm sorry- I may have misread the post, it says "Content you have posted in-game has been deleted because it violates the Nintendo Account User.." - It may not be a wipe, i'll fix that, but it's def. still scary.

Ah, okay! That's what I figured but, for a second, I got super paranoid

Still upsetting, though

Damn..people really like to abuse that report button eh.

Not that I'm gonna share on social media but thanks for the heads up and people defo are rude here.

Those who have done hacking and show off that fact deserve to be reported anyways in my opinion as it ruins the game for others.

While sharing social media seems like a nice thing to do you have to remember this is a kid friendly game and they don’t have a way to prove that various social media accounts are safe. It makes sense to me why it isn’t allowed.

People who are reporting just for the sake of it really do have a problem though. The feature is there for a reason. If abused they could very well strictly limit or even take the whole dream feature away.

yep, chase crossing dream address got taken down and i figured it might happen to other popular islands too

I disagree completely- people hacking their own games has no effect on me.
I was actually kind of hoping to see some cool hacked islands. I hope Nintendo doesn't start deleting them all

I’m fine if people hack but when they throw it in front of my face (like showing off in a dream) it makes me feel like all the hard work I’ve done is pointless. As they have all these cool things with little effort and I don’t. I’m fine with people hacking if that’s what they really want to do, but they should keep it to themselves in my opinion.

Unless someone specifically asks to see a hacked island then by all means invite them over for a visit. Posting a public dream address just isn’t the way to do it imo. Or at the very least keep the address private and only give it out to those that like hacked islands.

I really hate when people abuse the report button and other people get autobanned for no reason. Yes, people with pornhub islands should get reported, but I really hope this doesn’t affect instagram islands or horror islands

I'm kind of in the middle. It doesn't really affect/harm me, plus I was looking forward to seeing what hackers could make... but, you're basically showing off your hacked island publicly and telling Nintendo you hack. Sounds kinda like a dumb thing to do. Just try to keep the dream address as private as possible and then no worries.

I just... don't get that at all. If other people are enjoying their islands, whether they have more or less then me, I'm happy for them. I'm not gonna get jealous or feel my work was "pointless" just because my island is different from theirs. No offense, but that just feels like a set up for disappointment, hackers or no hackers.
I have no interest in hacking, I don't know how, and I wouldn't risk it. But I still think it's cool to see what others manage to do- I'm glad hackers share their stuff because it's fun to see. If it upsets you that much, just ignore it. But no ones "ruining" the game for you because of it... unless you let them.

You are in no way forced to visit the island be it in a dream or not. Them having hacked items doesn't belittle your island nor the fact that you don't does theirs.

 

[Briar]

Yeah, I think it's definitely important to make sure your island isn't breaking any rules before posting up your DA. Don't want to lose your DA

 

[Hobowire]

woa.. moving along. I hope if my Dream Island was removed nintendo would notify me so I can make the corrections

 

[Holla]

Well regardless if you like hacked islands or not by publicly posting your dream address of a hacked island you are basically asking for Nintendo to ban you.

People openly hacked back in Splatoon 2 and their entire Switch could be permanently banned from all online features. At least they are just deleting your dream address this time. It could be way worse.

I highly suggest people with hacked content to keep their code private and only give them out to those you trust.

I certainly agree with this. Not a wise move IMO.
