Netiquette
Our social media channels are places for respectful dialogue and creative inspiration. To ensure that everyone feels welcome, we have clear rules for fair and constructive dialogue.
The following rules are binding and apply to all users of our channels.
Our social media channels are platforms for exchange, inspiration and networking. We want all users to feel welcome and to communicate respectfully with each other. Here are our basic rules:
1. Respectful interaction
Treat other users the way you would like to be treated.
Refrain from insults, discriminatory statements, hate speech or personal attacks, especially based on gender, ethnic origin, religion, nationality, physical condition, sexual identity or age.
2. Diversity of opinions
Different views and backgrounds enrich the discussion. We welcome exchange and respectful debate.
3. Relevance of posts
Share posts and comments that are thematically relevant to our content.
Links are only permitted in conjunction with an explanatory post. Links that do not relate to the topic or are purely referential may be removed. Content that contains fake news or dubious sources is not permitted and will be deleted.
4. Objective discussions
Argue with facts and avoid provocation.
Differing opinions are welcome as long as they are expressed respectfully.
5. Copyright and data protection
Do not share content for which you do not own the rights.
Avoid publishing personal data, both your own and that of third parties.
6. Moderation
We reserve the right to delete posts that violate these rules. Criminally relevant content will be reported and prosecuted. Serious offences, such as the dissemination of hate speech, threats, spam or false information, may lead to accounts being blocked in exceptional cases.
7. Public visibility
Everything you post on our channels is publicly visible and linked to your profile. By posting a comment, you also agree that your username and comment text may be quoted in whole or in part in our channels. Remember this before you comment.
8. Feedback and questions
We welcome constructive feedback and questions about our content.
Please understand that responses to enquiries may take some time.
By participating in our social media channels, you agree to these rules. Together we create an open and friendly community! Please note that this netiquette can be adapted to new circumstances at any time.
Thank you for being part of our community.
