Episode authors have to deal with significant hate on a daily basis. This hate, that can be found in "Fanmail" in the Writers Portal. It has no way of being stopped! With only the 'Report', 'Underage' and 'Delete' feature, which has no major impact at all. The author would have to single-handedly report or delete every single comment that can be categorised as hate. These comments can go up to tens, hundreds or thousands creating even more struggle! Of course, nobody has time for that.

The impact of this can be crucial! Effecting the victim mentally or physically examples such as; depression, low self-esteem, loss of motivation, anxiety, changes in eating and so much more. The victim can also be suffering before-hand causing even more stressors. The hate received from the 'Fanmail' is a subject of bullying and harassment.

Victims do also receive harassment that require the polices involvement. The violation of their privacy that involves the exposure of their private phone numbers, emails and addresses. Events of harassment have been ongoing within the community.

All of the following are from the main source of 'Fanmail'.

From the whole Episode community and Episode authors who are now and were victims,

We ask you to resolve and end this ongoing hate that these people are going through.

The following options that we suggest are;

1. The author/s can turn off or on the Fanmail completely.

2. The Fanmail has word filters that stops cussing, harassment, spams and so on.

3. Fanmail will have connection with Episode Profiles, so there will be no anonymous bullying. The author will be allowed to block that persons profile from writing anything in their Fanmail, however they will be still allowed to view the authors Fanmail.
