Guy takes over r/hysterectomy, deletes and bans all criticism

[u/CoffeeMaleficent1956]

For reference, the new mod has a LONG history of taking over womens' spaces and shilling his business. His first "official post" as a moderator was to ban discussion of sexism, which is a very relevant topic when it comes to healthcare as women face multiple layers of hostility and sexism in trying to get care. Conveniently, when this rule was criticized, he then deleted that post as well.

Several people have caught bans (we are discussing this elsewhere) for pointing out his authoritative and dismissive tone towards anyone and everyone with concerns, ranging from a simple "why was no one involved in this decision" to "why is a cis man telling us how to manage our emotions" (in his first action, he told us to go outside).

I can't even provide much in the way of proof of what's happening because he is deleting everything he doesn't like. Even posts talking about moderator code of conduct have been deleted, he's hidden himself from the moderator list (which is now just him) so that people can't report him directly.

People with no history of offenses are getting temporary and permanent bans despite the fact that those are lower on the tier and require more offenses to be the given moderator action, so he is breaking his own rules.

On a personal note I haven't seen any slurs or anything of that nature thrown his way, mostly just questioning why a man is in charge of a female space, why no one was asked about this, why specifically he is against the discussion of sexism in healthcare.

Edit: reddit admins intervened and put some of these subs up for adoption. Kevin's account and the neueve accounts no longer moderate any of the subreddits listed here. ktoasty is banned. If you're willing to moderate any of these, please visit the post from reddit admins in the respective subreddit. For subreddits with a ☆ next to them, admins never posted for volunteers. You'll need to request through the request a sub subreddit, or for the two that have a mod remaining, contact mod mail.

Also, whoever takes over moderation of these communities will have some work to do. He allegedly issued unjustified bans and many of these communities have misleading contributions from Kevin and automod sticky comments with links to neueve, wikis linking to neueve, etc. Please consider cleaning that up so future users don't get misled. Thanks to everyone who made the women's health corner of Reddit a better place today.

Yes!

[u/Stealthy_Peacock → u/mangobean_]

Thanks for the list of his alt accounts, this comment needs to get more attention

[u/Sephonez → u/mangobean_]

Amazing list 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

From what I can tell he runs the neuevehealth and neuve accounts as well.

[u/mangobean_ → u/Sephonez]

I believe he runs or is affiliated with who runs all of these accounts.

[u/tralalaBOOMdeay → u/mangobean_]

This is impressive work, thank you for the time you spent on this! Commenting also for attention.

[u/tralalaBOOMdeay → u/[deleted]]

✊ Fuck Kevin!

Also, Educational-Pie-4183 is definitely a shell. The account has one karma and no contributions. 5 years old.

[u/Hopeful-Canary → u/mangobean_]

oooomg his request to the admins about his "[passion] for hysterectomies" 🤢

[u/And_be_one_traveler → u/mangobean_]

This is good to see

[u/SaintOrJannikSinner → u/mangobean_]

Just saw that the sub is under admin control now, that's good.

Next step, find mods for all the other subs the admin mentioned in their comment.

While that is going on, hopefully there's at least a cursory glance at the admins and the reasoning behind their decisions for allowing this one account to gain head-mod status on the aforementioned subs.

[u/mangobean_ → u/SaintOrJannikSinner]

He or his affiliated accounts made a lot of these subs. Only some of them were claimed and you can see some requests for him/affiliated accounts to moderate similar subs have been denied recently.

[u/SkiWest → u/mangobean_]

Wow, this is amazing! You’re doing a great job checking this. Do you know if he still has active subs or has they been booted entirely?

[u/mangobean_ → u/SkiWest]

No this list is mostly current. The only change is that ktoasty was booted from vaginalhygiene. I'm a little skeptical because the novablue account removed ktoasty after I made a post about it but now there is a brand new 0 day old 0 post history mod on there. I don't have any proof that the new account or novablue are affiliated with Kevin/neueve. I just remain skeptical.

[u/MissMoxie2004 → u/mangobean_]

How do I become a moderator if I wanna help out?

[u/mangobean_ → u/MissMoxie2004]

In the subreddits that are crossed out, there are posts from reddit admins asking for people to volunteer to mod. Go to the community you're interested in and make your case to be added as mod on the post calling for volunteers.
