Can we quit talking about the NB3 situation?

There's at least 5 new threads here every day that are the exact same thing:

  • Angry person vents
  • Talks about morals and Ethics of the situation
  • Says both need to be punished
  • Nothing new is brought up
  • Rinse and repeat Irony is, everyone is doing exactly what NB3 did. You're using power (the boards/numbers) to appeal to get someone else punished, who in their/your eyes did something wrong. That is a simplification of the situation, yes, but I'm not wrong. Yes, NB3 is an icon of the community and game, and yes what he did wasn't right. Yes, he shouldn't abuse power. But getting him banned doesn't change a thing. Getting him punished, does absolutely nothing. NB3 will just play on another account.
    100% of your efforts, do 100% of nothing to help anyone or make anything better.

If you really care about the state of the game so much in regards to player behaviour, then go about your days on league making the game better for other people. Get in game and be nice to people, give tips, give encouragement, compliments. Play your best and have a positive attitude. This will help the game, the community, and you as a whole, instead of participating in a roundabout conversation about, not much really.

Armchair justice feels good, but ultimately changes nothing for the better, especially since the change we're seeking is community wide and all encompassing.

EDIT: People seem to be taking this the wrong way already. What NB3 did was wrong, yes. Do I support what he did? No. Do I wan't more discussion on NB3? No. Do I actually want people to look at the reason why this happened in the first place? Hell yes. NB3 isn't the issue here, and he wasn't from the start. Riot trusts teams of people to operate the system, alongside algorithms, because it's impossible for either one individually to handle the task alone. Here, the issue is that the due process that goes with working out reports sent to riot, has not taken place. The report went straight to a rioter, instead of being sent in through the reports/tickets system. Getting NB3 punished in anyway will not solve anything, nor will it prevent this from happening again. People are looking at the wrong aspects of this situation.

At this point, what it does is it gets everyone to shut up about it.

And he brought the scandal on himself, so he deserves to get what's coming to him.

Other than that, this is probably the most sensible NB3/Nub post. >.>

I get it - the shit's crazy. But it's time to simmer down, and remember we need oxygen to live. I don't think anyone's really taken a breath since this shit started. Pretty impressively dumb, tbh. And I mean that with all literal intent - it's impressive, but the kind of impressive that everyone kind of looks at like a circus performance. It's stupid, but you can't help but think "holy shit, this is still going on...when's the last time these animals bathed?!"

Nah, it's our job as players to let Riot games know when they fuck up and this is one example of abuse of power of one of their sponsored streamers. How many of us have encountered situations like this and it goes unpunished even when sending a very detailed ticket it still goes unpunished but now you tell me NB3 has the power to ban a player with a snap of fingers its pretty ridiculous and a clear abuse of power and Riot games comply with this.

Yesterday I made a thread (look it up if you want) where I show how a player used the same strat as this Nubrac guy and reported him, did he get banned? nope, see my point?

what power exactly, riot couldn't care less about boards lol, and if it happen to see something they do not like it will be removed anyway in an instant, or at least on reddit it will happen, boards did not happen to get enough attention even for that censorship mechanics.

and if getting him banned wouldnt mean anything at all, why do Riot refuse to take action in the first place? But anyway, if it were the case they could give him tyler1 treatment and ban him on every account they spot on streams, even if 7-14 days on the main would probably be enough to that incident.

Can we quit talking about the NB3 situation?

Only if people stop making threads on Nerf Yasuo, Revert Akali, Revert Irelia, ect.

Oh what's that? It's not going to happen? Yeah didn't think so.
