Netiquette
Social media communication at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK) depends on your participation. We place great value on respectful and friendly interaction. We see the following rules of conduct as the basis for communication:
- Our tone is calm, polite and respectful.
- We do not allow ourselves to be challenged: Insults, name-calling and provocations on our part do not take place.
- Contributions that are discriminatory, anti-constitutional, demagogic, illegal, pornographic, extremist, racist, vulgar, disparaging or otherwise inappropriate will be deleted without comment.
- We also delete advertising, spam and commercial content of third parties without comment.
- Comments on a post, tweet, etc. should always relate to its content. Off-topic posts are annoying and unwanted at this point.
- So that everyone understands everything and misunderstandings are avoided: We post in German or English.
- We pay attention to data protection: confidential content such as addresses, phone numbers, matriculation numbers are not published on our social media channels at any time.
- We pay attention to the general standards and terms of use of the respective social media channel
- As employees of the HfMDK, we provide information on the social media channels to the best of our knowledge and belief, but these are not legally binding.
- When we act as employees of our university on social media, we are obligated to be loyal to our employer.
- When publishing images and texts via our social media channels, we pay particular attention to compliance with copyright and personal rights and the right to one's own image. We also expect this from our followers.
