Do NOT modify slabs or estus shards.
You WILL be banned, and it's permanent

I've was banned almost immediately after making those modifications, and have continued to be banned since around a year now.
Dark souls bans have always just been soft bans linked to the character the cheats were used on. Are you saying you were banned on new characters as well?
Soft bans are for minor infractions such as repeatedly disconnecting when invading and can be fixed with the white circlet. If the system flags you for something in the code that shouldn't be there (ie: to many slabs/estus shards) it outright bans the ACCOUNT. Going to the Dark Souls 3 reddit the only way to resolve this is to delete your entire save and start over with a now one and *maybe* it will unban you in about 6 months of playtime.
Every time I log in I get a message flash across my screen with the words "YOU HAVE BEEN PENALIZED" in large central letters. I deleted and tried many times to play online but the only way it lets me online is to use my second psn account. None of the characters on my banned account are allowed online and it tells you this before you even reach the "character select" screen.
