While we believe custom firmware is relatively safe at this time, it is important to note that it will never be "ban free".
You should avoid the following actions:
1. Piracy
1. Cheating online
1. Suspicious behaviour on eShop (for example, credit card chargebacks)
We believe SpotPass and StreetPass are also safe for use at this time.
