We reserve the right to delete inappropriate content, report it to the relevant platform operators and block users.

Respectful behaviour: We ask that all posts be written in a fair and objective tone, without insulting others, and without using language that is racist, anti-Semitic, inflammatory, pornographic, hateful, harmful to minors, homophobic or sexist. We will delete such posts and, where necessary, report them to the relevant platform operators. The same applies to posts written in vulgar, abusive or hateful language, or which infringe the rights of third parties or copyright. We reserve the right to report such matters to the relevant authorities in certain serious cases, for example where there is a threat of grievous bodily harm or where criminal offences that have not yet been committed are condoned.

Relevance to the topic: We ask that comments relate to the topic of the post; otherwise, we reserve the right to delete them.

Misuse: The misuse of our social media channels as advertising space, or the commercial or private offering of goods and services, is not permitted. Such posts will be deleted and may result in a ban. Content, information, software or other material that contravenes existing laws must not be posted either.

Quotes, images and links: When quoting, please also cite the source and the author(s). Quotations and references should be clear and verifiable to others. Please respect copyright and usage rights when posting content and images. Links to external websites should be used sparingly.

Responsibility: We accept no responsibility for content posted by users on our platforms; responsibility for such content lies with the individual user.

In addition to the removal of posts, reporting to platform operators and the blocking of accounts, breaches of general laws and regulations may, in certain circumstances, also lead to exclusion from the relevant platform and, in serious cases, result in legal action being taken.
