Our netiquette

Trustful interaction with each other.

Welcome to the channels, profiles and pages of the Wine Campus Neustadt!

We are a scientific institution of the Ludwigshafen (leading), Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences and the Rural Area Service Center (DLR) Rheinpfalz. As a scientific institution, we welcome intensive exchange, constructive criticism, ideas and comments from you.

The wine industry is small and people often know each other - well or at least by sight or hearsay. When commenting, please remember that you are dealing with real people and not automated response bots. So simply behave in the same way as you would like to be treated if you were dealing directly with someone. Of course, this doesn't just apply to us, but to all users on our platforms.

Critics are welcome here, but haters are not. The following types of behavior are not tolerated on our platforms:

  • Hate speech, insults, humiliation and discrimination against people or groups of people, in particular on the basis of their religion, ethnic origin, nationality, physical condition, sexual identity, age or gender
  • threats and any incitement to violence against institutions, companies or persons (groups)
  • statements that are likely to endanger the public, individuals or groups of people
  • Pornography, obscenities and other content harmful to minors
  • Infringement of the rights of third parties
  • The publication of private information (e.g. contact details, telephone numbers or addresses)
  • Election and party advertising
  • Calls for campaigns, demonstrations, rallies or donations
  • Misuse of the comment function as advertising space for websites, goods and services and interest groups (spamming)
  • Full quotations without the express permission of the rights holder (e.g. complete articles)
  • Quotations without indicating a source or the author
  • Comments that do not deal with the topic of the respective post
  • Links to external websites without reference to the original post

Users who repeatedly or seriously violate these rules despite warnings will be blocked. "Repeat offenders" will be blocked. All users are responsible for their own comments. Wine Campus Neustadt accepts no liability for this. We reserve the right to adapt this netiquette at any time at our own discretion.

Comments on our profiles are public. Please note that by posting a comment you are contributing to a public discussion. In this context, your comment text may be shown and quoted in full or in excerpts as a contribution to the discussion, stating your user profile name.

We are pleased if you state your real name in profiles, as this makes the exchange more valuable and can also continue in real life. We trust that if you use a real name, you will only use your own name and not that of another person. Because as I said, the wine industry is small and people know each other well!

Here's to trusting and valuable communication,

Your Wine Campus Neustadt team
