Online etiquette

Were always open to criticism but theres no room for hate.

Hey! Great to have you here – on Designdialog’s channels, profiles and pages.
Our community thrives on exchange, curiosity and critical thinking.
Your comments, questions and input help us keep developing design, theory and culture together.

Please keep this in mind when commenting:
There are real people behind every profile – designers, researchers, students and interested readers. So treat others the way you would like to be treated: with respect, openness and a constructive tone.


We do not tolerate the following behaviour on our pages:

  • Hate speech: insults, derogatory remarks or discrimination based on religion, origin, nationality, gender, sexual identity, age or physical condition

  • Threats or calls for violence against individuals, groups, institutions or companies

  • Statements that may endanger others or spread misinformation

  • Pornographic, obscene or harmful content for minors

  • Infringements of third-party rights (e.g. copyright, trademark or personality rights)

  • Publication of private information (addresses, telephone numbers, etc.)

  • Party-political or election advertising, political campaigns and donation appeals

  • Advertising or spam for products, services or external websites unrelated to the topic

  • Off-topic comments or trolling


In short:
No spamming. No bashing. No ego-posting.

We stand for dialogue, not monologue.

Users who repeatedly or seriously violate these rules despite being warned may be blocked or reported. Comments on our profiles are public – that means your post becomes part of an open discussion.

We reserve the right to update this netiquette at any time to keep the space for dialogue fair and respectful.

Thank you for being part of Designdialog and for helping ensure that discourse, design and aesthetics can take place in a constructive atmosphere.
