A petition to investigate the ties between Heinz and the moderators of Reddit community /r/CasualUK.
It is clear the /r/CasualUK moderators are being paid - be it in money or products - by Heinz Food Inc to remove posts and allow bots that are against the Heinz Agenda (ie pro-baked beans, pro-HP Sauce, anti-spaghetti hoops, pro-tomato sauce, pro-Lea Perrins, anti-Angel Delight, anti-Mr Kipling, anti-Pukka Pie, anti-Oxo).
Not all of the information is known, and the moderators deny it. Some of the information is clear, and can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/8a0dqf/...
What we ask is reasonable:
- A full investigation into the ties between Heinz and the moderators of /r/CasualUK
- A report into posts removed that follow the Heinz Agenda
- /r/CasualUK moderators to post their full tax returns and six months worth of bank statements to show any possible financial ties to Heinz (or subsidiaries)
- A signed contract pledging the removal of any Heinz-related bots to stop the censorship and Baked Bean Propoganda on /r/CasualUK
To fulfil this petition, we will look to hire a special counsel (or a librarian) to interview relevant parties, get a warrant for documents, to determine the links (including financial) between Heinz and the moderators and the scope of the censorship (including how many pro-Heinz bots exist on /r/CasualUK, and how many anti-Heinz Agenda posts/comments have been removed).

The wall of silence from the moderators remains frustrating but I am still digging through the breadcrumbs left behind in those deleted threads. This is exhausting work that takes me away from my real life but I know we have to expose this corporate influence for the sake of the community.

The momentum behind this inquiry shows that people are finally noticing the patterns of censorship. It has been a long and draining road to get this far but seeing so many folks demand transparency confirms that we are not imagining things.

It’s disgusting. Honestly. Something has to be done about it. Shame on all the moderators.
I literally spat my baked beans on toast dinner out of my mouth. This is on par with the Mueller investigation.
Frankly this sickens me to my very core. To think that such blatant corruption could exist in such a long standing and respected public institution. It seems that some people just have no integrity and would rather abuse their power to line their and their cronies pockets rather than help the common person as they should. Disgusting I say!
This is a serious matter, it's a shame we don't have special counsels in the UK or people of the caliber of Robert Mueller to investigate this
This clear favouritism is incredibly worrying to the many dozens of people who enjoy other brands of delicious baked beans. I for one enjoy the rich taste of Branston Beans over Heinz, as an example, as the recipe is clearly far superior and in many cases are much more affordable meaning there is more money in the back pocket for the consumer after enjoying an appetising and flavoursome bowl of Branston Beaked Beans.
These are outrageous allegations that have insufficient evidence to support them. Heinz have never had any affiliations with any users of /r/CasualUK - be it with moderators or anyone else. Please kindly remove this post or Heinz will have no choice but to pursue legal action.

Absolutely Unblievable, I find this absolutely repulsive how a leader would ever censor his subjects, this Casual UK mod has CROSSED THE LINE.
