Recently, it came to my attention that a Wattpad user has posted content in their book that publicly targets and shames a minor by name for their reviewing style. The person being targeted did not consent to being mentioned and only found out through a friend.
          While disagreement is normal in creative spaces, naming a minor in a negative way inside a published book is against Wattpad’s guidelines. Many writers have publicly said they appreciated this reviewer’s feedback, so this feels more like retaliation than critique.
          I believe Wattpad should be a safe space for everyone, especially younger users. If you’d like to help, please report the content using the template below. Do not engage or confront the user — simply report and share this message.

          Subject: Harassment & Public Shaming of a Minor on Wattpad
          Dear Wattpad Support,
           I’m reporting a case of targeted harassment against a minor. A Wattpad book includes the user’s username and criticizes them harshly for their reviews, without consent. The content appears in the 10th-last chapter titled “Paws & Pens” in the book linked below:

          Direct chapter: https://www.wattpad.com/1548289360-book-of-contests-2025-the-paws-and-pens-awards/page/2

          The minor found out from a friend and was understandably distressed. Several authors said the reviews were helpful — this seems more like retaliation than critique.
           This violates Wattpad’s guidelines against:
          Bullying or harassment
          Naming users (especially minors) to shame them
          Inciting community drama
          
          Please review the situation, remove the targeted content, and take steps to protect the minor.
          Thank you,
           [Your Wattpad username]

Hi. I’m a new author on this app and I’m working on my new story “The Reflection Pact”. If you’re a fan of horror, like me, than this is for you. Could you check it out, maybe follow, like, comment and vote. Please. Sorry for intruding.

If you’re new to wattpad, just letting you know, advertising your story on people’s message board won’t make people read it. They find it rude, so you’re actively hurting your chances.

Heyy..,
          We have been paired on pinkwattys, I've just read your book. Your writing style is very good.. 
          The description which carries out and shows the emotions. Rurik's slang, their family bonding caught me up already. Eager to know why Malora is the way she is.. Will be reading your book till the end, I'm really enjoying it.
          Thank you for your comments on my book Up in the Skyland. Hope you liked it

Hello! Thank you for the kind words! Your book definitely has potential, keep it up!
            
            As for my story, I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I just finished editing chapter 1 and 2 of it and they are leagues better than what they are now. I haven’t updated the version here on Wattpad, but I definitely will be soon!

Greetings,
          I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to say sorry if this message feels a bit out of the blue. I’ve been working on a story called The Villainess , and I’d truly appreciate it if you’d consider giving it a read.
          It’s a fantasy story with strong female lead, and I’d really value your thoughts, even if it’s just a quick look at the first chapter.
          No pressure at all. I just thought I’d share it in case it’s something you might enjoy. Thank you, and again, sorry if this came unexpectedly.
          Wishing you a great day ahead!
          Best,
Venus
