Before I open the blurred content I knew it would be sarcastic.
Anyway, welcome @Tyler!
Not sarcastic at all. Unfortunately, thereās a lot of clutter on the app. I canāt wait to clean it all up, one inappropriate story at a time
So true.
Hey Amberose Congratulations on making the recent shelf!
When it comes to swearing, we allow ~5 per chapter as long as the word choice isnāt too severe and also depending on the context. But for a characterās name, weād run into issues, since it would appear on screen every time the character spoke.
If thereās a specific name you have in mind, I can give a better answer.
Thanks Tyler - oh and double thank you
I will pm you because the word Iām thinking is one Iāve seen flagged on forums before so I know itās a bad oneā¦
@Tyler, Iāve heard you can only use 5 song lyrics. Does that mean you can only use 5 song lyrics in an entire story or can you have 5 song lyrics per episode?
If you think something might be a violation please DM Tyler with the specifics. If it is a hypotheticalā¦ send a ticket.
Hey MoreTeaMustBeSpilled!
Youāll find your answer here: https://episodesupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005308473-Songs-and-fair-use
- A maximum of five (5) lines of lyrics per song, per chapter is allowed. Characters may sing these or they can appear coming out of audio/video devices, speakers, etc.
- Note that these 5 lines cannot be shown as being sung by or spoken by the real artists/people or copyright characters associated with the song/lyrics.
Please send a ticket if you have TOS questions guys or theyāll send me back to the dungeons
Again, this is not about defining TOS violations. This about reporting TOS violations. In DM. These types of questions need to asked within a ticket. Unless you are reporting a story that has this violation or you think might. Then you may DM @Tyler or send a ticket.
welcome @Tyler good luck
I feel so sorry for you, for going through some of the inappropriate stories
Thanks Tessx!
I might be scarred for life
Welcome to the community, @Tyler! Iām sure youāll have a great time!
Anyways, the best of luck to your blessed soul.

Unless there really isnāt that many stories to report which I highly doubt.
Iām ready

Hiya AnnieAEpisode
Thank you for your question!
Featured stories have been thoroughly reviewed before we put them up, but authors can always change things after theyāve been shelved or add new chapters with violating content.
So if you notice anything suspiciously or obviously rule breaking on featured stories, theyāre fair game to report to me o7
Please go easy on me
Cheers
