Gifted-haul disclosure requirement
A discount code or affiliate link makes a post commercial, so it needs a clear #ad or #gifted tag nearby.
Keep every haul, drop, and discount code accountable.
Gifted hauls, sustainability language, and discount codes move through creator content daily. PinkSpider checks disclosure and claims before and after launch.

Why review gets harder here
What makes apparel & fashion content different.
Fashion content moves through frequent gifted hauls and discount-code posts, where a missing tag or a loose sustainability claim is easy to overlook.
- A discount code makes a post commercial, even when the caption reads like a casual recommendation
Content signals
What reviewers check for in apparel & fashion content.
- Discount codes or affiliate links without a nearby disclosure
- Sustainability, ethical-sourcing, or "eco-friendly" language without support
Example knowledge rulesRule 1 Rule 2 Rule 3
Rule types reviewers apply to apparel & fashion content.
These examples show the pattern a reviewer is trained to look for, not a finished or legal rulebook. Most teams layer their own brand and category guidance on top.
Sustainability-claim substantiation
"Sustainable" or "eco-friendly" language is treated as a claim needing support, not a routine description.
Sourcing-claim restriction
Ethical-sourcing statements are flagged when they can't be tied to a specific, verifiable practice.

Here's an example of one piece of content moving through review: what the reviewer saw, what they flagged, and why, so you can see the process rather than a legal ruling.
