You might be in "smash purgatory", where people who have been reported a lot are only able to fight other reported players.

i dont really use projectile spamming characters but i think it may have been from a pretty bad little mac player i played against one day when i decided to play as ganondorf and i kept side b and down tilt kicking him and not letting him land until i took his first stock then he ran off the stage and suicided...lol i dont normally play like that but if its against a mac player i gotta do what i gotta do lol he then messaged me on miiverse and told me to stop side b because it was unfair

That Little Mac player sounds like a Little B!-tch.
Excuse the foul language, but I really hate players who use the term "cheap" or "unfair".
They're so overdramatic.
People who complain about spamming, cheap moves, or certain characters need to shut up and just learn the match ups.
The game hasn't even been out for a year and it seems like everyone thinks they're pros already.

As for your predicament, you've been banned, aka reported so many times that you've been placed in Smash Hell.

Call Nintendo about it.
They won't fix it, but it'll raise their awareness. I keep urging everyone who's claiming to be banned to do it and I hope they are doing it because what good will complaining on the internet do?
Call the source of the problem, complain, and eventually, if enough people start complaining, Nintendo will fix it.

For the time being, stop playing. People report being banned for as little as ten days and others say they are still banned three weeks later.
This has led most of us to believe that if you've been reported in ban land, it just prolongs your sentence.

Fortunately, Nintendo will be taking down the servers August 31st for maintenence.
While nothing is set in stone, I'm hopeful that the maintenence will address this issue and provide more transparency and clarity over the matter. Perhaps then we'll know why and for how long we are banned.

But in the meantime, call Nintendo anyway.
This is an actual problem that should be addressed. No one is arguing that people shouldn't be banned.
Nintendo needs to tell us why we were banned and for how long.
If Nintendo can't provide the former, I am inclined to believe that Nintendo doesn't review why players were reported and thus, this report system is faulty.
Mention this when you call Nintendo. Press the hard, unanswerable questions.
"If you can't tell me why I was banned, then what's not to say it's the reporter's word over mine".
These are the types of questions that get forwarded to their research department and get the higher chance of being taken seriously.

Good luck.
