Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If you have any questions while using Miiverse, this is the first place to check for an answer.

I saw a post or comment that violates the Miiverse Code of Conduct. What should I do?
If you encounter a post or comment that violates the Miiverse Code of Conduct, please report the violation using the Miiverse reporting function.

Reported violations will be reviewed by a Nintendo moderator. Any post that violates the Miiverse Code of Conduct will be removed.

Please note: false reporting is a violation of the Miiverse Code of Conduct and is subject to action up to and including loss of Miiverse access.

I received a comment or message that is offensive, threatening, or upsetting.
Harassment of any kind, including slander, defamation of another user, disclosure of personal information, or invasion of privacy, is a violation of the Miiverse Code of Conduct. Even in messages between friends, such exchanges violate the Miiverse Code of Conduct.

Please report any posts or messages that violate the Miiverse Code of Conduct. If you are experiencing harassment, please use the Report function on the offending user’s profile screen.

Furthermore, if you do not want to receive comments or friend requests from a particular user, you may use the Block function on the user’s profile screen.

I saw a comment with a spoiler in it, even though it wasn’t marked as having spoilers.
It’s up to users to mark their posts as having spoilers. However, if someone forgets to do this, you can help by reporting spoilers.

Comments and posts that receive enough spoiler reports will be marked as spoilers, viewable only to people who have chosen to keep spoilers visible.

Why do some users have a green check mark? What are verified users? Can I be a verified user?
A verified user is someone whose identity has been authenticated and certified by Nintendo. Their verified status indicates that they are a legitimate source of high-quality information. Their status as a verified user is indicated on their Mii character as shown here.

Verified-user status is granted only to parties when necessary as determined by Nintendo. We do not accept requests for verification from the general public.

I can’t see comments for other regions.
Your Miiverse settings may not permit you to see posts made in other languages.

In Miiverse Settings, find the option that reads “View community posts from users who are using which system language?” to control which languages you see in Miiverse communities.

You may choose to view all languages (default) or only posts made by users with the same system-language setting as you.
