krone.at Community Guidelines Emphasize Respectful Discourse
Vienna, Austria – – krone.at, a leading Austrian news platform, has detailed its community guidelines, emphasizing the importance of respectful interaction and constructive dialogue among its users. The guidelines, published on the site, aim to foster a positive online environment for discussions surrounding news content.
According to a statement released by krone.at, story comments are considered a “valuable component” of their online community. The platform stresses that maintaining a high quality of discussion is crucial for enabling a meaningful exchange of opinions. To achieve this, krone.at has established a set of rules, often referred to as a “Netiquette,” that all users are expected to adhere to.
The guidelines explicitly state that users should engage in “respectful and friendly” communication with one another. This is seen as essential for accommodating a wide range of viewpoints. Tolerance and acceptance of diverse ethnicities, religions, genders and sexual orientations are also explicitly encouraged.
krone.at encourages critical opinions but insists that any criticism be presented in a “factual and constructive” manner. The platform’s community managers serve as a direct link between readers and the editorial team, available to address questions, suggestions, complaints, and positive feedback via email at forum@krone.at. A frequently asked questions (FAQ) section is also available to assist users with login issues, forum navigation, and general community inquiries.
The guidelines clearly outline what behavior is *not* welcome within the krone.at community. Specifically, the platform prohibits provocation, “trolling,” and the deliberate spread of “fake news” – defined as false information disseminated with manipulative intent. Any legally prohibited actions are also forbidden.
krone.at reserves the right to review user-generated content in story comments to ensure compliance with the Netiquette and its general terms and conditions (AGB). The platform states it will take action when necessary, including the removal of violating content. User contributions do not necessarily reflect the views of the platform’s operator or editorial staff, according to the published guidelines.
The platform also notes that it may use user data for legal purposes, including reporting criminal activity to law enforcement. Users can contact the community team via a reporting and assistance portal for further support. The guidelines also direct users to the krone.at forum for more extensive discussions.
These guidelines are consistent with broader efforts to maintain civil discourse online. Discord’s Community Guidelines, updated , similarly emphasize respectful interaction and prohibit harassment. X (formerly Twitter) also has platform use guidelines and policies relating to account settings, though specifics were not detailed in available sources. Roblox’s Terms of Use govern user-generated content on that platform, highlighting the importance of rules surrounding content creation and sharing.
Krone Consulting also has a Code of Conduct, though its relevance to the krone.at news platform is not explicitly stated. The krone.at guidelines underscore the platform’s commitment to providing a space for open, yet responsible, online discussion.
