Welcome! This is a sub devoted to tracking the crazy poster known only as "Pepper". Pepper posts some of the craziest questions that I have ever read.

From my research it is still not clear whether anyone knows if Pepper is an actual serious, albeit crazy female, or simply a troll.

edit: To answer a few questions, this sub is 100% serious and the intentions of this sub are whatever you desire them to be. Some people are concerned about Peppers well being and use this site to be able to quickly find a Pepper post and go offer their support and try to get her to seek help. Others use this sub for entertainment and just want to see what crazy thing Pepper is up to. We welcome all guests on either side of the line as long as things are kept civil.

Whatever your intentions are for this sub, we absolutely will not tolerate any kind of harassment, doxxing, or any kind of personal attacks towards Pepper.

Due to recent events we will be tightening down the hatches on this sub. We have had a bit of growth in this sub recently and I am sure some of the users are here to try to protect Pepper.

Many of you are aware of the recent events involving one of our subs falling for Pepper and even having some sort of “relationship” with her. Look that is none of my or anyone else’s business. BUT what is my business is when people start posting screenshots of their personal conversations on this sub. If Pepper or the user want to post their private conversation, that is up to them, but I will not allow it to be posted by other users. If you want to fall in love with Pepper, that is 100% up to you, just be aware that things quickly went south for this user and Pepper started posting about him all over and he had to delete his account. I’m not even putting all the blame on Pepper.

This sub was created for people to post when and where they see a Pepper post and for those interested to be able to go and offer support OR even just follow along and see what Pepper is up to. This sub needs to get back to its roots, and the harassing of Pepper and members of this sub needs to stop. Showing up on Pepper posts and calling her out is not harassment and in fact the mods of the subs that she posts in appreciate it so they can quickly remove her posts, but what is harassment is showing up in her posts and calling her names or even threatening her. We will also not tolerate anyone PMing Pepper and harassing her, if she ever reports someone as doing so with evidence it will result in an immediate permanent ban.

We will also not tolerate those trying to protect Pepper showing up on this sub and harassing our subs.

Please message the mods if you see any instances of harassment towards Pepper or members of this sub.

Hello. Using a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I didn’t know this subreddit existed until this morning. After reading some of the things about Pepper, I couldn’t help but think she is someone I used to know.

There’s a girl who called herself Sarah Bear or Princess Sarah in school. She was not popular at all and had very few friends. I met her through mutual friends. Our friendship of 3 years was rocky since the beginning. We are no longer friends and I haven’t spoken to her since graduation. None of her friends like or contact her because of her toxicity. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve seen or heard from her.

I always had an issue with how she presented herself. She was very obsessed with physical appearances and wanted to hear people compliment her looks. She was on several dating apps but most guys ghost her before they go out or go on a few dates but then disappear. Despite the fact that she called herself sexy several times a day, she was insecure about her hair, body, and nose. She wanted to look like a blonde beauty with straight hair. She has brown hair with tangled curls. She was always wasting time vying for attention.

Similarities with Pepper (from what I’ve read): vain, self-centered, boy crazy, asks dumb and long ridiculous questions that may pertain to attraction or sex, likes bunnies, hates video games and guys who play video games, shames men and “ugly” girls, ignores you or acts verbally abusive, attention seeking, only wants validation, types ty or tysm but types all other words out, obsessed with her “virginity” or confuses the definition of “virginity”, likes hot peppers, and has a younger brother.

The Sarah I know would never reveal her age online. She also lies a lot. She can never keep her lies straight. She also loves playing victim and acts rudely towards men who have been on dates with her. That said, one of her multiple email accounts has the number 98. She was not born in 1998. I do not know the significance of this number. She is a “virgin” I’m unsure of how true this statement is but she values herself for keeping her “virginity” yet she’s been desperately trying to lose her “virginity.” She is crazy gf crazy but not actually mentally insane. She also wants to be this “innocent princess.” She looks down at many professions and refuses to work in certain careers because none are “worthy enough” for her. Last but not least, she would never show real pictures of herself online. Pictures of “Sarah” would be a cute girl with blonde hair or blonde highlights. That is not her at all. She needs braces and she whines about wanting to get a nose job. She wants to change her body. She hates her curls. She wants to be the typical blonde Hollywood beauty. Sarah would also never cut herself. She would never ruin her appearance with scars. She hates scars and is terrified of getting one.

If this is not the Sarah you’re looking for, she sure is close enough.

Last thing. Sarah, if you’re reading this, please stop the trolling and whining about guys. Learn to accept yourself and stop seeking validation. There’s no need to hide your insecurities and there’s no need to be the blonde beauty you wish to be. Accept yourself and talk to a therapist to fix the way you look at yourself. Let go of the bitterness. Stop harassing others and being mean to strangers. Love yourself and be nice to others. The right guy will find you once you learn to change for the better.

Thank you.

ATTENTION: Any sign of verbal harassment toward Pepper in this sub, or on her posts may result in a temp ban or permanent ban in this sub as well as the sub that the post is made in. Verbal harassment includes name calling, bullying, etc. IMO telling Pepper to go get help is not harassing, but calling her a psycho is.

Look, this sub is growing, Pepper is aware of it and mods of other subs are aware of it. These mods message me, telling me that our users are harassing Pepper and they have to clean it up. That creates more work for them, which in turn by them constantly messaging us, creates more work for us.

I get it, I really do, I know that engaging with Pepper and trying to figure her out, is most of the fun, but it must be done in a non harassing way.

So if you find a Pepper post - the mods of these other subs ask that you report the post with the reason being "Pepper". If you choose to engage with Pepper in her post, it must be done in a civil manner. If the mods think you are harassing her, they will ban you from their sub, then message us and we will ban you from our sub.

Simply put, report and be civil and we wont have any problems.

Thank you,

The Mod Team

For a little while now I have been working on a small project called Evade. Evade is an application that, using some sophisticated trickery, detects serial ban evasion based on post titles alone. Evade is a project intended purely as research, however I felt it applies very well to this sub. Therefore, I've spent the last couple of days specialising Evade to work with the posts of our friend Pepper.

Introducing u/pepper_bot

You may have noticed our fourth moderator, u/pepper_bot. Pepper Bot is the specialised instance of evade, trained on every single post and comment we have ever recorded. Pepper Bot works by scanning the 'new' submissions of subreddits Pepper has been known to frequent, comparing usernames to a list of known accounts and running the titles through a sophisticated algorithm designed to detect how 'like' Pepper the use of language and sentence structure is. Pepper Bot provides a confidence interval, in percentage - anything over 90% is probably a positive

Pepper Bot is still learning

That means that, each time Pepper Bot thinks she's got something she will report it. Every time you post a link here, Pepper Bot sees that too and tells you what she thinks. If she thinks you've got a live one, she'll report that too.

Please, keep on keeping an eye out so that we may help Pepper Bot grow into a good bot. Remember to remain civil at all times and above all else remember that Pepper is a person too.

That's a great question. One that myself and most of you are probably asking. Perhaps Pepper has gotten help, possibly checked herself into a rehab facility. Maybe her posts are slipping through the cracks.

We need more eyes out in /r/relationships, /r/relationshipadvice, /r/askreddit etc. so please share this sub with anyone you think may be interested. Lets try to hit 1000 subscribers.

All of you have done a great job of finding and posting Pepper posts when they are discovered, but we simply need more eyes out there.

Please let the mods know if you have any other suggestions or any insight as to where Pepper may have run off to.

For personal reasons I'm leaving the sub. Thanks for the great times and the shared frustrations, hope to see you all around reddit.

Many people have contacted me because they received PMs containing accusations about members of this sub. Continued in comments because Automod doesn't like links in text posts.

I found out about your site that harasses me

from rabbitsarelife0 [-25] sent 3 hours ago

I have found out about your site that harasses me. And that all of your friends have believe me for a long time about. I will be contacting Reddit authorities it breaks the rules of Reddit site which is to not harass people. I am getting very tired of not being able to get any help. This needs to be shut down immediately. I will not tolerate any less than the total shutdown of the site. If you do not shut the site down then it will be forcibly shut down with penalties. This has been a warning. I appreciated things but not this. Not this is this is wrong.

My friends have help me and they are letting me know that this site exist and helping me try to shut the site down and trust me it will be shut down

...FOR CROSSPOSTING. I just got one although my last crosspost from there was 27 days ago. People who actually use the sub would do well to remember this :)

I first stumbled upon Pepper only recently, replying to her post with a simple nod and an answer to her question regarding a previous partner who was posting what looked like rap lyrics. I said something along the lines of “sounds like a fucking loser”, to which she replied “omg thank you” or something to the likeness. Within minutes my comment had a handful of people warning me about Pepper. I was directed to the sub but haven’t subbed until only a few moments ago as I didn’t want to feel like a stalker...

But... I ended up doing just that. Checking her most recent alt’s history and checking Reddit on my work breaks for the past day or two.

A second question to what I have up in the title, what exactly is the purpose of this sub and how many like it (which are pepper related and if possible, could anybody provide links) are floating around?

Hello all and welcome newcomers. Over the past few weeks since Pepper's reappearance it has been great watching the sub grow. We now have more eyes on Pepper than ever before, and we are catching more of her posts than ever before.

With that being said I want to address a few things. We have been pretty relaxed with the rules around here since things died down for a few months. Now that Pepper is back and we are getting a new flock of subs, we need to tighten things up around here.

1. I see lots of links to Pepper posts with titles such as "Found her!". We need more description in the title. I know it can be difficult, especially on mobile, but please try to include the user name, the subreddit, and a description of the post.

2. Text posts - We have decided to open up text posts to allow for discussion. Text posts ARE NOT to be used for posting Pepper posts. Do not create a text post and put the link to the Pepper post in the text box. Use only the link posts for linking to Pepper posts. Originally this sub was created to follow Pepper and thus only link posts were allowed. With the sub growing and new people joining daily, we have decided to allow text posts to open up discussion about Pepper. Any form of posting personal information, Doxxing, Witch Hunting, etc. will be an immediate ban. Please report and message the mods if you see any such content.

When you see a Pepper post in another sub, other than linking to it here, feel free to report the post with the report reason of "Pepper". Other sub mods appreciate the reports so they can remove her posts.

Hey fellow Pepper spotters!

I just found this sub from /r/relationships and I couldn’t be more surprised/confused!

The “community info” doesn’t really do this sub justice. It would be great if there were more to explain who/what/why of this Pepper thing. And why is Pepper sometimes called Sarah?

Does she have an agenda? Is she mentally ill? Does she run a child pedophilia ring in the basement of a pizza shop that doesn’t actually have a basement in reality?

Anyhow, I appreciate any explanation to this strange phenomenon.

-LAR

EDIT: has Pepper ever infiltrated this sub? Seems like something I’d do if I were an enigma like her. Are we SURE the mods are who they say they are? Conspiracy theorists activate!

I wanted to take some time to welcome our new subscribers, lurkers, and those that will discover this sub in the future.

This sub started with 3 of us and we never really expected it to go anywhere, because outside the 3 of us, why would anyone really care about Peppers crazy posts?

Since then, this sub has grown to 300+ subscribers and has been viewed 1000's of times. While that is nothing tremendous, that is way more than we ever imagined. So we want to thank all of our subscribers and give a huge thanks to those that scour /r/askreddit, /r/relationships, /r/relationshipadvice, etc. for Pepper posts and come to this sub to link to the posts so everyone else can quickly find them.

Now to answer a few questions. Some of this is covered in the other sticky, but we will go ahead and cover it here.

What the hell is this sub? This sub is devoted to finding and linking to posts submitted by the poster known only as "Pepper"

Who the hell is "Pepper"? That answer is covered pretty well in this comment chain: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhereIsPepper/comments/6nb6vy/welcome_to_where_is_pepper/dk9jg6l/

Why are you stalking Pepper? This sub was originally created for entertainment purposes to just see all the crazy things that Pepper was posting about and to kind of just follow her story and see what develops. Since then, this sub has evolved into a gathering spot for those that want to be able to quickly find a Pepper post and go and offer their support and urge Pepper to seek the help that she needs.

So what exactly are the intentions of this sub? As mentioned above, this sub may be used for entertainment purposes for those that simply want to follow Pepper and have a bit of an insight into her crazy life. Also, this sub is a place to be able to quickly find a Pepper post and go and offer support. You will see that is the overwhelming majority of what our subs do.

Whatever your intentions are while visiting this sub, whether it is just following along for entertainment, or going to offer support, we absolutely will not tolerate any form of harassment, doxxing, or personal attacks toward Pepper.

Additional comments: With the growing popularity of this sub, please be wary of imitation Pepper posters. Yes, some people are imitating Pepper, either purposefully or unintentionally, so be sure to do your due diligence before linking to a post. Also, if you see a post that is clearly not from Pepper, please post that in the comments and feel free to report the post and we will remove at our discretion.

Many people have started to take screenshots of Peppers posts because they are quickly deleted or removed before others can go view them. We would prefer screenshots of the post over a copy and paste of the post.
