6.13 NEX: Subscriber

Applications that use the subscriber features of CTR-NEX must comply with all the guidelines listed in this chapter.

6.13.1 Restrictions on Postable Content

 

The subscriber feature allows users to post "content," consisting of a text-based message and binary data, to "topics." An application that has subscribed to a certain topic retrieves content posted to that topic. The binary data can be freely used by the application, so it may or may not be visible to users depending on the application specifications. See the Server Services volume of the CTR-NEX Manual for more information on subscriber features.

There is currently no method by which the message data or the binary data of posted content can be individually deleted from outside the application. Therefore it is prohibited to include UGC or allow users to include UGC in posted content.

For definitions of UGC, see chapter 7.1 UGC Definitions

Note:

In future, Nintendo plans to provide a feature to take data included in posted content and individually delete it from outside the application. Once this takedown feature is available, we plan to allow use of UGC in compliance with volume 7 UGC.

Guideline Item

The application must not use subscriber features for UGC.
