Discussion rules
The PERARES Online Debate is a platform for free discussion around current and potentially controversial subjects. We like to give space to an open, friendly and constructive discussion. Please support the objective: discuss fairly and openly, especially when the debate becomes heated. To avoid misuse of the platform, the discussion posts won’t appear automatically, but will be published promptly by a member of the editorial group. The editorial group pays attention to the compliance with the following rules.
1. Form: Please ensure that your posts are factual, concise and easy to understand. Contributions should always refer to the topic of discussion and if possible take up the arguments of the other contributors. Constant repetition of the same content and mischievous posts, such as irrelevant jokes, are undesirable and should be avoided. During the debate, if contributors think that a question can be answered with reference to information already available, please provide suggested answer and/or links.
2. Content: Contributions will not be tolerated if content is illegal, insulting, offensive, harmful to minors, politically or religiously extreme, sexist, pornographic or similar. This kind of post (links included) won’t be released or will be deleted without prior notification of the author.
3. Advertising / Commercial Use: Any posts that are obviously commercial, other forms of spam or thematically irrelevant will not be published or will be deleted.
4. Publication / editorial: When you post a contribution you authorise the staff of Perares Online Debate to quote verbatim the contributions and comments in the context of evaluation and appropriate publications.
5. Language: The editorial board will aim to moderate contributions in any of the European Union’s official languages. As the PERARES Knowledge Debate is a pilot, please bear in mind that we have limited resources to enable discussion in multiple languages.
6. Disclaimer: We point out the responsibility of the authors for posts, comments and documents. Articles and comments that appear in the Perares Online Debate do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial staff.
We are looking forward to critical and informative discussions and hope you have fun debating!
