Netiquette

Thank you for your interest in the social media channels of the Museum Reinhard Ernst (mre). Some of our digital platforms offer you the opportunity to communicate with other users or with the mre. As you may know, our institution aims to be a place for coming together, communication and education, both analogue and digital. This is also a reflection of the art we exhibit, art which asked important questions when it first emerged and continues to generate heated debate to this day.

In order to ensure that everyone feels comfortable on our digital platforms and feels encouraged to exchange ideas, we would like to remind you of our netiquette. The term „netiquette“ is a combination of the words „net“ and „etiquette“ and describes the rules we have laid down for respectful interaction. We would encourage everyone taking part to take it to heart.

Whenever you respond to posts/comments from us or other users, please be aware that you are communicating with a human being. We ask that you remain polite and respectful. Before posting, ask yourself whether you would use the same words if you met the person you are communicating with in the analogue world.

Misunderstandings often arise in the virtual world. Facial expressions and non-verbal signals that are usually part of face-to-face conversation are missing here. Emojis can be helpful to prevent misinterpretations.

Important!

In the Museum Reinhold Ernst we do not allow the use of insulting, racist, anti-semitic, or otherwise discriminating, oppressive and exclusionary behaviour. We reserve the right to report and/or remove comments that fall into this category.

If you have any questions about our netiquette, please contact us at social@museum-re.de.

Here’s to constructive exchange, discussion and comment!

The mre team.
