They might not be hiding but this feels so inauthentic, corporate and forced

/r/HailCorporate is to document times when people act as unwitting advertisers for a product as well as to document what appear to be legitimate adverts via native advertising.

What acts as an ad, is an ad, no matter if it was put there sneakily or because someone has become inured to a brand so far that they don't even know they are a walking ad.

We have strict "Don't be a jerk" rules that are enforced with immediate banning. The guidelines are more likely to result in a post removal or warning, but breaking them could result in a ban.

RULES

Don't use a brand name in title
Be civil
- No name calling or being insulting. Historically people have had a very hard time with that and so we have had to also add as a rule:
- No Swearing/cursing/cussing. Automod will remove your comment and no one will ever see it.
- We don't need to explain 'be civil' to you, but if you can't obey this simple rule then you're out.
No personal information
- Doxing, witch-hunting, etc. is a violation of Reddit wide rules and will result in a ban
- Use the "[/new](r/hailcorporate/new)" function to see if it's already come up before posting.
Wash your hands regularly

You may be banned for the first offence

TIPS

Replace any brand names (company, product, celebrity, etc.) with something less descriptive, like [COMPANY], [PRODUCT], [CELEBRITY], and so on.
Flair your post after making it or it may be removed

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

If you don't report a rule violation, we probably won't see it.
If you make a post or comment that violates the rules Automod will remove it and no one will ever see it
posts about r/gaming, r/movies, r/ama, etc links are not encouraged as we all know that it is filled with advert type posts in their own specific subject. However when a different topic comes up it may qualify. E.g. posts about a soda brand in a television subreddit

'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere,' and because of that /r/hailcorporate condemns the r\bitcoin moderators for engaging in heavy censorship

The reddit.com of today is different than the reddit.com of the past. Potential for censorship across the website has been realized.
