For the past two years, players have been dealing with this thing where you suddenly go from being connected to many players to suddenly everyone disappears and you're left playing the same people in a pool of limbo. No one knows exactly how you get banned, which is why it makes this subject so much weirder.
Even if you assumed that simply being banned didn't get you sent to FG Hell and that everyone who gets banned is lying about their innocence, the game still doesn't tell you that you're banned and that's, again, what makes this all so weird.
The game does tell you when you are banned for, say, disconnecting.
But when you are soft banned, or sent to a sort of private server, you are given no indication of any kind.
Another oddity, as opposed to being banned for disconnecting from a match and being told that is why you are banned, the game also gives you a time limit. This is generally 10 minutes.
A trip to banland can last as long as two months. Even longer, according to some, and at least 7 days. Wow.
So you can get a minimum of 7 days for reasons that have never been revealed by Nintendo.
How?
How did FG Hell not become a bigger thing? Why are there practically no videos on YouTube about it? Why has Nintendo never publically disclosed how this system works? Why do Nintendo of America employees sound so clueless when asked about it?
There is only one mainstream article that I can find on the subject

That's it. Other than that, it's just player stories that are all over the place.
No set answers, just a combined narrative, which, btw, a manager at Nintendo actually dismissed my claims for being banned as just some sort of made up story on all of our behalfs.
And noticed how I've been talking in past tense. How did banland not get noticed by the mainstream because it's not gonna get fixed now or noticed now.
I'm banned right now, but I'm ok with that. When I'm feeling particularly salty, I've reported people. It's there. It's an option. I don't care. I have bad days when I'm grumpy and you know what, **** that guy, I simply don't like his mii. It's that easy.
Ridiculous, right?
But that's it. Something that is so ridiculous that can be done so easily, no one seemed to really care/believe it.
So sometimes you just gotta wonder, how did For Glory Hell not become a thing.
