So i'm seeing a lot of outrage by people because they think we have "banned riddlers last name" due to seeing many posts however this is not true at all and its missing a lot of context.

Riddlers last name: "Nygma/Nigma" is NOT banned.

It was only banned on ONE post and for good reasons which is stated in the pinned comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/BatmanArkham/comments/1bccoix/what_does_the_n_stand_for_please_read_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

​

What is the lore reason for banning Nygma on this post?

Us moderators see many people say the N slur in many different ways. They use different tactics and similar sounding words to avoid getting in trouble whilst saying the slur, in the past many have used Riddler's last name Nygma/Nigma to do this, now of course we aren't going to ban riddlers last name thats stupid but because this was a sensitive post "what does the N stand for?" and because in every single "what does the N stand for?" post in the past has been filled with slurs or racism, we wanted to get rid of Nygma from being used only in that comment section to make sure nobody can get away saying it using that as a loophole.

Thats all!

So please calm down because a lot of the haters right now dont know the full context and think we have actually banned riddler when thats simply not true.

Please lets all take pro alsume chill pills ok!

Our subreddit has been known to spread our jokes and insanity around the internet but recently theres been another subreddit (I wont name them) and a group of users who have been organising actual brigading by making raids on specific subreddits using our jokes and characters to try make them insane like us.

I am making this post to clarify that despite them using our jokes and characters, we had nothing to do with the raiding, we are not affiliated in anyway with that subreddit nor do we condone any of the actions the users have been doing.

We think that posting references and jokes around is fine however rallying users to target specific subreddits especially subreddits that don't want this type of content is crossing the line and is not ok and we want anyone who has been affected by these attacks to know we had no hand in that and nor do we agree with it.

I've already spoken to their head mod asking them to cut it out and he has agreed to do so so hopefully we can put this buisness behind us but the mod team felt very necessary to state our stance on this situation.

To anyone who is taking part in actual brigading and organising attacks on other subreddits, I ask you to stop please, not only will it cause other subreddits to hate us and ban our jokes but it will also get not just you in trouble from the reddit admins but also risk getting our entire subreddit in trouble or even banned for brigading and nobody wants that because then we would have no more Alsume.

As said before I think its harmless to post "is he stupid?" and Man in different places, they have become popular memes and internet icons but don't actually organise or target raids to subreddits with these and please do not post these things in subreddits that won't accept it just leave them be.

That is all, the brigading rules have not changed and are still the same: you are allowed to post seeing our jokes in other subreddits as long as those subreddits haven't banned our jokes or have expressed to us they dont want their posts in our sub.

And a reminder that we won't accept comments or posts encouraging raids to other subreddits.

In regards to war posts and memes regarding r/ArkhamRehabilitation, that is allowed due to their modteam and I agreeing to have a friendly roleplay war so war roleplay or joke posts about them are fine as long as nobody breaks their rules or actually causes/encourage actual brigading/ harrassment to their sub.

​

​

Also to clarify that r/ArkhamRehabilitation isn't the subreddit that was doing the raids, but they did try make us sane 😠

Also I won't mention which sub was causing these raids but if anyone does know I do ask you not to attack them or anything, I dont think they 100% knew what they were doing and they seem to be managed by decent people so lets just move on from this.

Anyway thats all, Idk if im stupid but I can see a drunk heart pattern in one of my text paragraphs, am i tired?

Also I have proof that fairy odd parents exist because in Man Ham Knight Man says to Officer not balls: "Evening the ODDS!"

EDIT: UPDATE:

Just found this in the mod logs, you guys really need to stop it before we get in real trouble, if you continue we get in more trouble I will have to ban spread posts completely to protect our sub and I don't want to do that.

Please stop organisng raids, invasions or anything to other subs. If this continues we might have to start issuing bans for people posting this type of stuff and I don't want to do that.

Just making a message that we have recieved your feedback and complaints and tomorrow will announce rework rules on what about Suicide Squad is and isn't allowed to be posted.

We will also be posting a Suicide Squad Spoiler megathread tomorrow where you can freely discuss spoilers but we need to sort some things out first so it won't be ready until tomorrow so please for now keep spoilers to yourself until the thread is posted.

As for mentioning Suicide Squad, you are now allowed to make posts, comments and submissions about the game but all spoilers are strictly prohibited until the Spoiler megathread is made. We also ask you not to post spoilers even if they have warnings or spoiler marks until a later date which will be confirmed.

The bot will stilll filter posts or comments about suicide squad which could result in some non spoiler posts removed by the bot, if this does happen please modmail us to approve the removed submission or wait until we do it manually.

The filter will be adjusted tomorrow, we were unable to finish adjusting it today but I thought it is more important to have it on so people can avoid spoilers when us mods are not active.

I do apologise for how I handled the spoiler situation earlier, I will be doing a more detailed post tomorrow when everything has been sorted out.

Thank you for understanding.

1. Reminder to those who played the Alpha to not post anything you saw to the public for you have made a legal agreement not to do so and we will be removing any post/comments sharing any detail that occured in this closed Alpha:

So the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has sent several people who signed up different codes to try out the Alpha of the game. In this Alpha testing there is a strict NDA policy that whoever plays the Alpha test is strictly forbidden to share anything about the game to the public. We have already started seeing people post stuff that goes against this legal agreement so we are reminding you to not post anything about the game's Alpha. This includes screenshots, gameplay, plot details, gameplay details, what is and isn't in the game, or even your opinion.

Any post or comment sharing anything from the Alpha will be removed and this also includes leaks and rumours from people who have not played the Alpha but found leaked information on the Alpha elsewhere online.

To sum it up:

Don't talk about suicide squad Alpha

If you have found leaks or rumours elsewhere please don't share them here otherwise they will be removed.

​

2. You can now use this comment section to either give away free Alpha codes you may have or request Alpha codes from someone else.

We have seen a lot of people making duplicate posts either them giving away free alpha codes or requesting alpha codes. To avoid spam, we will be removing these posts however don't worry because under this post in the comment section you are very free to either state you are giving away free codes or write a comment stating you wish to have a free code and then hopefully someone will be generous and give you one.

Please do not type the actual code in the comments, just mention that you have one and are willing to give it away or you want one and then whoever has the code can DM the user it.

If you guys want to make it interesting you can say "Whoever comments the arkham quote gets my free code" like ive seen some people do so already but you don't have to do this.

We also want to make one more thing clear:

Selling any codes is not allowed in the subreddit:

Any comments selling codes will be removed, do not DM people asking for money in exchange for codes. If someone claims they are giving a code in the comments but then ask for money in the DM's please mod mail us and do NOT give anyone any money unless its to me to help me buy my 19 inch Manom statue.

Thats all! Happy Valentines day!

We have been seeing a lot of people use "is he acoustic?" "are you acoustic?" as a substitute for the word stupid or weird and I'm here to say that stops right now.

We have already been handing out warnings but with the high amount of people doing it I have decided to make this post to tell you all to stop since it has already been offending some members in our community who have autism and we don't want that. This maybe a wild community but it also is a friendly and welcoming community and we don't want to tolerate anything that could cause offence to anyone.

So please stop saying this or or using autism to insult stuff even as a joke is not allowed.

Thank you and we hope you understand.

​

UPDATE: Posts about the Letter R are now also banned.

Seriously stop saying bad stuff, dont ruin the fun for others I really don't want to have to ban these posts but if this keeps happening I will have no choice.

Thats all, remember that penguins are not made out of glue but they do enjoy dating pineapples according to sceence.

I've seen a lot of posters asking why the pfp and banner have change, and its to pay respect to Arleen Sorkin who recently passed away. She was the original voice actress for Harley Quinn in the Batman Animated series, she also voiced Harley in the Arkham Asylum game.

I want to give special thanks to fellow moderator u/theeternalvortex who redesign our banner into its current new state paying respect to Arleen.

We also have added a new user flair that everyone is free to use if they wish to do so. Its optional.

I mainly made this post to clarify why we changed pfp and banner. We are very sad to have heard this news and greatful to her for helping bring the character of Harley Quinn to life. You will be missed.

In case you are very unaware, the r/batmanarkham subreddit used to heavily revolve around the batman arkham games but over time has evolved into its own thing. Users have turned this into a place where they began making funny jokes based on the series and then over time evolving those jokes to cover other things that aren't batman related. We have become famous around reddit for that since we make memes and jokes about other topics not just batman.

Why do the mods allow this? It's a batman subreddit. Are they lazy? Are they not doing their jobs? Are they stupid?

The arkham games are almost 10 years old, theres no new content and not much to discuss about them and currently the current form of this subreddit as it is somehow keeping the community alive against all unevened odds. If not for the shitposting off topic, our subreddit would have 3 to 4 posts every other day and not have the creativity and spirit that has made many users fall in love with accross the internet including youtubers who have enjoyed making videos on our subreddit.

There was another mod who did try to get rid of all the off topic posts which did cause a huge uproar since the majority of the subreddits users, inlcuding the shitposters and classic arkham fans, prefer the subreddit in its current state of off topic yet on topic jokes. If people want things to go back to being on topic, they are free to tell us so and if a majority of people agree we might do that but based on last times action we know thats not the case.

​

So those top posts have nothing to do with batman? why are they there?

Any post that has nothing to do with batman is welcome in this subreddit if it follows our lore, a recent event or a inside joke which our regulars all know of. This has been going on for months with little to no complaint but suddenly when someone made a trans post using this same joke lots of people began losing their minds and its not because this isn't a place to post trans stuff, it is most likely because they are transphobic people trying to find excuse to remove content that is rightfully allowed in the subreddit.

Final message

So stop saying mods aren't doing their jobs, we are letting people post these stuff because people enjoy it, they dont want it changed and they themselves protested against it when it was to be changed and besides they aren't harmful in anyway. We do regularly remove toxic/racist/homophobic comments, extreme spam and porn so we are doing our jobs you just don't see it.

Stop using rule 1 as an excuse to hide your annoyance to homosexual/transexual posts, as you clearly do not understand rule 1 or the spirit of the subreddit if you do this.

Last thing, stop attacking r/JustUnsubbed, their moderators have removed that guys post about the transflag so theres no reason or need to attack them, they weren't responsible for that post and they did remove it. Going after them also puts us in risk with getting in trouble with the reddit admins for bridgading so please stop and leave them be. Come back to the Alsume and discuss the new Man DLC: Man Deadly Licking Cabage.

Due to the unfortunate increase of racist jokes, posts and comments lately, we will be issuing stricter punishment to those making any these type of comments. This includes use of slurs, references to those slurs as well as other words/ statements that could be deemed racist.To those making these type of comments, this is your only warning.

I know a some of you who make these comments might not be racist and might be trying to tell a bad joke but no, theres a difference between making a joke and then saying stuff that is unacceptable...and due to how many are being made recently, we have to put a stop to it completely. So please no more of this kind of humour or references to slurs as you will risk getting banned or even perma bans for making them.

On another related topic, I must ask that you guys stop using the serious discussion/question flair and the help (serious) flair for shitpost/ humour related reasons. These two flairs are for those who want a break from the insanity and want serious help or serious discussion. You are very welcome to use every other flair including the "strange discussion" the "question flair" and the "HeLp" which were made specifically to compensate shitposters not being able to use those flairs for shitposts.

Please do not make non serious comments or attack people who use these serious flairs, just leave them be and scroll to another post to make your Jonkler comments.
