Synopsis
Mr. Krabs is talking to the sweet old lady about the service at the Krusty Krab while she is knitting a scarf. She says that it was great, but has to go, so she did not have time to tell anyone about it, making Mr. Krabs mad. SpongeBob, overhearing the discussion, gets an idea, attempting him to grab Mr. Krabs' court board and puts it up. Mr. Krabs, realizing what SpongeBob did, asks him what he is doing with his corkboard. SpongeBob says that they can use it as a bulletin board.
It becomes very popular with reviews leading to more money until SpongeBob sees a message that reads "When I eat at the Krusty Krab, all I get is a dark, empty feeling inside!" and at the bottom, it reads "P-Star7." SpongeBob is very surprised to see this so he tells Mr. Krabs, who is even more shocked and tries to take it down. As he is about to remove the board, the surfer dude goes up to him and tells him he cannot do it. SpongeBob agrees, still believing in the bulletin board's power, so they agree they cannot take it down. Then Patrick walks in and tells everyone he is P-Star7, but nobody believes him. Slowly but surely, he puts up another note. SpongeBob, seeing the note, tries to write an apology note. After hours of SpongeBob cooking the perfect Krabby Patties, P-Star7 finally responds with another mean note, saying that the Krabby Patties taste like old baseball gloves.
P-Star7 continues writing anonymous notes, saying more hurtful things, including Sandals smelling bad, Gus' eye being too big, Bubble Bass not being able to chew with his mouth closed, Pearl's drawings being terrible, and that Squidward should not be able to stand behind a cash register. These notes make SpongeBob, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs angry, so they wait in the Krusty Krab for P-Star7 to show up and write another one of his mean notes. Soon, a shadow enters the Krusty Krab, which causes SpongeBob to turn on the light right away until they see it was Patrick.
He giggles while putting up another note, which makes Mr. Krabs mad, causing him to get rid of all the notes in the entire Krusty Krab. SpongeBob goes up to Patrick and asks why he was P-Star7. Patrick explains that he was going to reveal himself in his last note since he was upset that people were taking his notes the wrong way. SpongeBob understands as well as Squidward, but Mr. Krabs, on the other hand, is still angry until he sees a knitting circle class. He then forces SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick to come along with him. The teacher ends up being the sweet old lady and everyone thinks she is great, except Squidward, who wants Patrick to go back to being P-Star7.

Trivia
General
- This is the first episode to premiere during The SpongeBob Challenge event.
- This was the final episode to be written by Jack Pendarvis.
- Twitch makes his third appearance following "SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One" and "Treats!"
- To date, this is the last episode to use the track "Pirate's Opus."
- It is revealed that Squidward has a flower tattoo on his arm.
- There is a gag in this episode where Patrick tries to eat his hand and puts salt on it. This is exactly what his distant ancestor does in "Ugh."
- On the Nickelodeon Play app for Australia and New Zealand, this episode is paired with "Sold!," which is called "Nick Fishkin's: I’ll Buy Your Home."[citation needed]
- The letters on the title card represent different-colored post-it notes.
- This is the second appearance of Shady Shoals Rest Home without Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. The first is "Doing Time."
- The part where Patrick bites on the baseball glove is seen on the July 2016 premiere week commercials, even though this episode did not premiere during that week.
- This episode marks the first time "LOL" is said in an episode and the second time Internet slang acronyms are used in the SpongeBob SquarePants series following the short "Squidward's Back."
- Irony: When Patrick tells SpongeBob the baseball glove note didn't come yet, SpongeBob could've known already that P-Star7 was Patrick.
Culture references
- This episode is a spoof of online trolling/cyberbullying from chatrooms. Instead of social media, P-Star7 uses the bulletin board to pick on everyone.
Errors
- When Bubble Bass spits out his Krabby Patty after he reads a series of notes that read "Close your mouth when you eat!," the rims on his glasses turn from black to green.
- The Galley Grub sign changes positions throughout the episode.
- SpongeBob is seen having a conversation with Squidward behind the register, but when he runs out the kitchen, the latter is not seen behind the said register.
Missing ropes
- When SpongeBob is shrieking, the ropes on the windows are missing, making it look like the bulletin board is floating.
Fry-Bashee 139
There's no pin on the bottom part of the uppercase I
- At one point, "FryBanshee139" is misspelled as "FryBashee139."
- On the title card, there is a pin on the dot on the letter I, but no pin on the line part.
- When Mr. Krabs says "Okay, That's enough!" Nat's hands are not shown.
