It does have consequences on games. For example, if you are banned from Miiverse, you cannot share Mario Kart TV highlight reels. For this reason, I find this policy stupid.

Yup, no matter the situation parents need to understand the device just as much as thier kids but in reality it doesn't work that way.
Parents just let their kids do whatever. I see kids and even parents buying their kids COD, etc.
You dont get banned for one violation, if you get moderated a couple of times then a ban then what do you expect?
As the population of the WIi U grows, moderation is going to get tougher and tougher. This will help out loads.
I dont know if its switching them out I just make multiple profiles for each family member. I think I have the only actual account on there. Me n my son probably.
I'm kinda hazy about how the account system works on the Wii U. For the PS4 I had to do all separate accounts. Made transferring saves during system transfers easier. I dont think I need to for the 360.

Then I expect to be able to use all features of my games that are not directly related to Miiverse.
Oh...well nothing to see here....lol. For me an my family anyway.

Don't make inappropriate Miiverse posts and you have nothing to worry about.
Uploading to youtube is tied to miiverse right? This change was done after MK8 was released. Spending money to patching MK8 because you/family member decided to draw dick pics is kinda ridiculous.

No. From day 1, two successive prompts (Upload to Nintendo Network? Upload to YouTube?) have been present in the game. Making the Nintendo Network/YouTube upload dependent on your Miiverse status is an idiotic system.

With the lewd stuff Splatoon's Miiverse has been throwing at me recently, I'm not surprised now is the time they're choosing to toughen up with their restrictions.
Best update.
That's how I look at it as well.
Klick on your Mii in the upper left.
It is rather depressing.

Do you regularly make lewd posts in the first place? Seems like the only people who are complaining are the people who the system is aimed against anyway.

Unplayable? Reading the stupidity was half the fun! Especially when in a room with a bunch of friends, which I typically am if I'm playing Smash. Cracking up over the silliness was a blast.

I haven't been banned since 2013, so I'm still alive. I don't share my Wii U with any siblings either, but if I did, then I wouldn't want them to get penalized for something they didn't do. This is dumb.
Haha, "depressing". I love it when people throw this word around.

"...all accounts that use the same 3DS system"
Wait, were people seriously nuking their eShop purchases, streetpass progress and whatever else they have (f2p stuff, patches) just to troll on Miiverse using a 3DS? (AFIK the only way to sign out is to format the system...that doesn't free said NNID to be signed in elsewhere :S and also since all eShop purchases became part of that NNID...)
The moderators are the scary part of this. Other examples of activities that could get you warned include mentioning Project M and the many examples of not marking anything that comes after the title screen as spoilers. Heck, the post-completion title screens for MK8 or Splatoon could be classed as spoilers
On the other hand the place is crazy so needs to be really heavy handed. I still think timed bans can have a place now. Like perma ban the problem user then temp ban the console for 3 months and maybe have posts auto moderated for users on that account once the ban is up.

If these ones never play online there was no need for an NNID and hence risking miiverse bans.
If you say "I'm 12 and what is this" that can be an outright ban for being underage or just a ban from mature communities (I'm kind of worried the "I'm a Kid" Miiverse posts on Splatoon could be interpreted the same way by the sometimes overzelous moderators).

There is an icon on the home menu on the Gamepad. I think the Mii icon in the top-left.
Settle it in Smash
I'm certain a court has had to deal with account ownership before.
Though, it certainly wouldnt be as much fun as the Beanie Baby divorce.
Sounds fair and decent way to cut down on all the lewd stuff that sometimes gets posted on Miiverse
Imagine this, but with Amiibos! lol

You know, I somehow managed to completely miss this thread even though it was on the first page for a while.
Now I don't know if I missed a modern classic or should be thankful. :lol
lol. Some of the miiverse kids are taking to random communities and posts to vent their frustrations... lol

If you're the one making the posts, you can delete comments on your own posts for whatever reason you like; it'll just say "Deleted by Original Poster" instead of "Deleted by Administrator".
This is an awful change, and it goes far beyond making "inappropriate" posts.
Miiverse moderation is currently based on user reporting, and the mods always side with the reporter. If you are an active poster on miiverse, you will eventually get reported for something. It's quite common to be reported for "bullying" if you disagree with someone.
And what exactly should be considered inappropriate? I know a few users who have been modded for posting screenshots of Nintendo games. Or modded for drawing characters wearing the exact same thing they wear in the games!?
katie for president.
Oh I do... I also sometimes set my Dev Miiverse account settings back and forth between "all comments by everyone allowed" and "only comments by those who have the game/etc" based upon if I'm making posts that address everyone in general or more if the post/news/update/etc is more applied to the users of my game.
I tend to just "report" the more annoying spam comments to the Miiverse Mods. I try not to delete that many myself, as it usually ends up with the kids getting all angry and more spammy. Like posting in my post "HOW DARE YOU!" :lol

Holy shit. That thread had NOT run its course.
Maybe not, but it was venturing into FBI territory really fast.

Good! People will be more civil then!
The only problem is malicious reporting coupled with either fully automated or completely brain-dead (hard to tell the two apart) administration. Otherwise I'd have no issue with this policy change whatsoever.
I've been falsely reported once and fortunately I was able to appeal and it was reversed. So, yes, it's happened to me.
