BHUM. YOU'RE BANNED.
This is a direct callout. I want everyone to read this and understand exactly who you are and what you did.
Bhum has been removed as a moderator and permanently banned from this subreddit. I'm posting this to make sure his reputation is permanently tied to his actions.
Here's what Bhum did:
BLACKMAILED a user by threatening to release their private images unless they sent him more
SENT unsolicited explicit pictures of himself to that same user
USED his position as moderator to manipulate and coerce
GAVE the user a humiliating nickname
TARGETED someone who was 17/18 years old at the time
I trusted you, Bhum. I gave you authority in this community. You used that position to prey on people. That's not a mistake, it's who you are.
And I need to be clear about my part in this: I placed my trust in you. I gave you power. That was my failure. I am accountable for that mistake, and I own it completely. But my mistake doesn't excuse your actions, it just makes them more disgusting.
This isn't just a ban from a subreddit. This is a permanent stain on your online reputation. Anyone searching your name will find this post. Anyone you try to moderate for in the future will find this post. This follows you.
To anyone else who has experienced similar behavior from Bhum: Contact me directly with evidence. I will support you completely.
To the community: If you see Bhum anywhere else, warn people. If he tries to join other communities, share this post. Don't let him hide what he did.
Predatory behavior has consequences. This is yours.
