I'm glad this has happened. Banning players for quitting/internet dropping is beyond stupid. At the very least Nintendo gets some payback for it as they now have to fix this and face public backlash.

That's...that's unusual.

Another reason why i can't understand the logic of Nintendo...

I bet you want the ability to issue such lengthy bans

Dealing with D/Cs in competitive online multiplayer has long been a bane of the system, moreso in fighting games which have fewer players, whereas in a game like Mario Kart they can stealth replace the quitting player with a CPU (although they had that solution in Brawl as well, but seemingly they didn't want to go that route here?).

Of course, it was silly for Mario Kart 8 to dock you just because your internet connection shit out for a moment, but how do you tell the difference between network error and player griefing?

You are showing no links or proof of anything? How am I supposed to believe that?

there ya go.

Why would mods want the ability to ban for 136 years when they can ban for negative years? XD

Nintendo sized bans!

That is an underflow bug. Supposed to probably have counted down to 0 seconds but wrapped to 0xffffffff = 4294967295 seconds == 136.2 years.

I do wish Nintendo would ban people with sub par wifi or at least match them up with other people with terrible wifi cause it makes the rest of our online experience terrible
