The truth and information delivered to you in one post!

I wanna tell the WHOLE story that hasn't been told here, from the beginning.

One day on a FB chat, alot of us RAoP members started talking about how nothing sweetbabiray had bought anyone was coming. After discovering this, two of the girls got on a chat with an amazon rep to check on the orders. The whole group of girls banded together and started messagine sweetbabiray and talking to Amazon among other things. After asking several times, someone finally got an order number out of sweetbabiray. After giving this to Amazon, we were told no order existed with that number leading us to believe she had cancelled every order she ever made for anyone.

All of sweetbabiray's posts were about polish chain and trying to get people to the polish chain, it was suspicious. Okra had no idea at this point and I sent her a message on behalf of the FB group letting her know what we suspected so that we could get sweetbabiray out of our subreddit. During all of this, one of the other FB members, Blanksy, found a reddit gifts exchange sweetbabiray had done. She posted pictures of a note from her gifter calling her sweetbabiray/pixi. After seeing this, demented_pants did a search for someone named Pixi in RAoP and found pixibunny who just happened to be from the same place as sweetbabiray. We tried to keep this on the downlow so that "Pixi" wouldn't catch wind and delete her account like she did with sweetbabiray.

During all of this, icewindfirex commented on a thread asking me about the FB group and acting deperate to get into it. That conversation can be seen here After someone added her in and everyone was talking about sweetbabiray. I then told her about how we knew sweetbabiray was pixibunny and we didn't want her to know before we could get her banned. During our conversation, icewindfirex randomly asked me where sweetbabiray was from and I told her. She replied with,"wow I'm from there" and I was immediately suspicious. I told a few other girls but we figured it was just coincidence since icewindfirex was a moderator on RAoP and so active. Here is our conversation where she told me she was from the same place as sweetbabiray.

Then a few days ago, we saw kettish had been announced as moderator and noticed icewindfirex wasn't a mod anymore. Since I was already suspicious of her, we figured she was sweetbabiray. I sent Okra a message asking if icewindfirex was sweetbabiray since she was in our FB chat and if she is, we'd like to get rid of her. She told me that she can't tell us what to do with the FB group but she would advise not talking to her. After she told us this, Blanksy found icewindfirex's photobucket and in it she had pictures that sweetbabiray/Pixi had used in her redditgifts post. Pretty much confirming even more that she was her. I told Okra this and she didn't have those and asked for links.

Our FB group was pissed off, we wondered why Okra hadn't made an announcement and why icewindfirex's wishlist was still in her flair. We felt like people should know. I sent her a message back telling her we all felt like RAoP should be notified ASAP because icewindfirex was a mod and so trusted. She had been polished so many times. Okra then told me she had some things going on, I'm assuming the election, and wasn't going to tell everyone until Wednesday. Which is seen here. Now this really pissed us all off. She was going to let everyone sit around for 2-3 more days with icewindfirex not being banned and still having a wishlist in her flair. This is her subreddit but she has a responsibility to take care of the members and take care of things like this RIGHT AWAY. How long had she known and just decided to put it off because she had things to do? She had been on replying in normal threads, she could have had time to let us all know about icewindfirex. The only reason she told everyone when she did was because she said she felt forced to by us. Which also just rubbed everyone the wrong way.

So after all this shit went down, people were messaging icewindfirex on FB and everything else. She started talking to 2 of us about everything and admitted it numerous times, said she was sorry, and wanted to make it right. Many girls in our FB group offered to pay for shipping to send everyone back their polish they bought for her. We tried so many times to come up with a plan with her to help her make things right. Meanwhile Okra was talking to her on reddit telling her not to deal with us and only deal with her directly because apparently she is in charge of the world.

Okra also stated that she never had a plan and none of us can speak for what she had intended to do but here is a screenshot of her telling IWFx to try and sell the items as a whole on ebay which is what we had said that she claimed to be a lie.

So there it is, this is the real 100% true story about the discovery of icewindfirex/sweetbabiray/pixibunny/orgasmlollipop and Okra had almost nothing to do with any of it. You all deserve to know everything and Okra obviously doesn't plan on telling you. Everyone would still be off polishing 4 different people not knowing she was the same person scamming everyone. If not for us, Okra wouldn't have even told any of you until today. Apparently everything around here is supposed to be sunshine and rainbows and no one should know when they're being scammed. Might be something you all want to think about. Everyone is standing behind Okra saying how awesome she is when in reality, she handled this about as shitty as someone could.

As for my side of the story to do with all that. I had started on RAOP with two accounts, I polished more on my original and less on this one. I made friends on this one so abandoned the other completely. I talked about it several times, was open and never hid that I had another account. Which the latest example can be seen here nearly a week before this entire thing unfolded.

The reason I got "caught" was because Avoch was going through the unpolished user list(which was one of my first suggestions as a mod and was created after I had quit my other account) and saw that both my accounts had the same address and freaked out because she assumed that I was also a scammer. She quit and raged against me but after explaining the whole thing she realized that it was not me that she was truly mad at.

Okra originally said in Avochs resignation post that she quot because I had two accounts, after Avoch had clearly said that she quit because she was tired of being kept in the dark by Okra. We all were. As a team of mods how are we expected to mantain a community when we were ordered to pretend that all was ok, put on a big happy smile and delete all comments or posts about the situation that were seen around outside the containment area.

Every day I was getting more information about the going on in the subreddit from my friends then I was from the only person who was supposed to be above me. Okra repeatedly, not one(SBR), not two(IWFX) but three(menmybabies) times waited hours to days after receiving information to tell the community about the possible scams that were happening. Yet here she outs me within minutes of discovering I have two accounts(because I admitted to it right away) yet that same exact day she was informed about menmybabies being marked as a scammer across reddit and the internet decided that I was a bigger issue within the subreddit then two people who scammed at least $15,000 dollars from reddit.

Then there was me pointing out that she was censoring people and comments left and right so I called her a dictator for which she banned me as seen here. She claimed the reason to be that it was disrespectful to another but I don't recall a single person being banned after there were people calling SBR a cunt and a bitch and threatening her with death by polish. -Doctor_River_Song

Feel free to join us in our new forum, Random Acts of Wishlist.

All of this information was posted multiple times yesterday and the reason this is the first time you are seeing it is because of the banning and deleting that Okra has done. She also accused me of posting a picture of her to RAoP which is not true, it did make me laugh so I reposted it but I AM NOT SCUMBAGOKRA.

[Mod announcement] Beckyemm will be mostly offline for awhile. She sends her love. Details inside.

Hello all,

Our friend and moderator Beckyemm has been having a really rough go of life lately. Her mom has been in the hospital for awhile now because of an aneurysm, and just recently she had two friends die unexpectedly on the same day in unrelated incidents. Understandably, she's not really feeling much up to handling her usual moderator duties; doctor_river_song and I will handle things in her absence and she will rejoin the subreddit when she feels she is able.

She asked me to let you know that she loves you all very much and that she'll be back with us when she is able.

So, my husband came with a cat. She doesn't like me. The husband is downstairs playing games with the door closed so she has no one else to sit with. I love the look she's giving me.

My parent's Corgi isn't able to go on the long walks that their other dog can. We've always felt terrible leaving him when we know how much he loves walks, so, today, we fixed that! Wanted to show off his new doggie stroller ;)

It took literally almost EVERY PENNY I had this month, but I managed to get current on every student loan I had and consolidate them. I'll be going from $12-1400 a month payments to $400 and something.

I'm also THIS close to getting caught up on all of my credit card debt which keeps squeaking in just a leeeetle past the monthly deadline because I only get paid once a month. It's frustrating, but I'm almost there!

....and it turned into a job on the spot! I actually spent 6 hours working for them grooming today so I'm super stoked you guys! It's only a ten minute drive from my place to get to work and they've been in business there for 13 years so I feel pretty certain they won't up and declare bankruptcy on me lol. Anyway that's all I'm just really happy right now and needed to share. How's your day going?

I just want to say that I love everyone here. Some of you I may know better then others, some may be newbies, some I may have had just a passing comment or two w/ you, but honestly, I FUCKING LOVE EVERYONE HERE! I'm so glad we're a small happy community who can hold supporting/loving/hilarious discussions. I don't think I've seen a day where the front page isn't at least 70% gifted threads and I LOVE that.

So, from the bottom of this CrazyCatLady's heart,

I FUCKING LOVE Y'ALL!!!!!

My goal in life is to get each and every one of you a little bite of butter! But some of you have no butter on your wishlists! There must be SOME kind of butter in your lives! Don't make me come cook for you.

To help you lovely ladies out, I've put my current wishlist in my flair, so you can find some butterful ideas.

So get out there, and get some buttery wishes! "I will never use a substitute for butter. Margarine is one molecule away from eating plastic. If I'm going to eat that type of food, it's going to be the real deal."
