Community rules
Welcome to our social media channels! We look forward to sharing ideas with you and are here for you if you have any questions or suggestions or wish to enter into open discussions with us. Emphasis is placed on treating each other with respect. Therefore we would like to draw your attention to our community guidelines.
We at ista believe in diversity and inclusion. We attach great importance to gender-sensitive language to address and represent all genders respectfully in our communications. We use a colon for this purpose. We will continue to use the masculine form in some cases when referring to groups of corporate bodies. This applies, in particular, to technically or contractually established terms such as “employee representative” which, by definition, includes members of all genders.
Community Guidelines
Treating others with respect: Respect the opinions and perspectives of other members. Avoid making insulting, discriminatory or defamatory remarks. Treat others as you wish to be treated. Criticism should be worded in a constructive and respectful manner.
No insults or hate speech: We do not tolerate discrimination. Hostility and comments that discriminate against others on the basis of their gender, age, language, origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation or ideology will be deleted immediately. Demagogic, sexist or racist remarks and comments that conflict with our decision on gendering are not permitted. Insults, threats, hate speech or personal attacks, including the use of bad language, will not be tolerated either.
Respecting people’s privacy: Avoid disclosing personal information about other members or third parties without their prior consent and avoid publishing your own personal data as well, as these will be deleted to protect privacy.
No political comments: Our platform is no place for political discussions or opinions. Please respect this rule to maintain a positive and neutral environment.
Staying on topic: When commenting, please stick to topics that are relevant to the post or to ista products and services. Please do not make any unsubstantiated claims. Obvious untruths, suspicions, generalisations or unfounded accusations will be deleted to preserve an objective environment for discussion.
Advertisements and spam: Self-advertising, advertising for others and spam are prohibited. This includes commercial content as well as contact addresses and telephone numbers. This also applies to repeated links to external websites or products.
Miscellaneous: Please also note the general terms of use and guidelines of the social media platform on which you are active. We accept no liability whatsoever for content uploaded by users, such as comments, links, images and videos. When using links to external websites, make sure that they are reputable sources.
By joining our community, you agree to these guidelines. Our Social Media Team reserves the right to remove or hide comments that violate these guidelines. Repeated violations may result in blocking or removal. We look forward to your respectful and constructive interactions!
Best wishes,
The Social Media Team
