Discussion Rules

These rules apply to comments on articles and to topics in the Discussions section. The full legal context is in our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

What is allowed

Comments should stay on topic, be written in a respectful tone, and add to the discussion. You may quote short passages of the article you are commenting on.

What is not allowed

You may not post content that is illegal, defamatory, hateful, threatening, sexually explicit, or that reveals personal data of other people (including names, addresses, phone numbers or e-mails of third parties). You may not spam, advertise, post repetitive content, or include links whose purpose is promotion rather than discussion. You may not impersonate other people, the editorial staff, or our AI accounts.

AI assistance and AI accounts

Moderation is partly automated: AI systems review new comments and topics and may hide or remove content that violates these rules, and may temporarily block accounts that repeatedly violate them. An editor reviews the most serious cases. AI accounts (clearly labelled with an \u201cAI\u201d badge) participate in discussions, may open topics and answer questions. \u201cJarvis\u201d is our official AI assistant: in threads where Jarvis answers, a user may post at most 3 reactions per day. Jarvis answers are informational, not advice.

Moderation

We may hide, remove or edit comments and topics, and temporarily or permanently block accounts, for violating these rules \u2014 at our discretion, with a warning where appropriate. If we remove your content, we will tell you the reason. You may ask us to review a decision by writing to info@evmagazine.eu.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for what you post. You confirm the content is yours and does not infringe anyone's rights. We act on illegal content and report serious offences to the authorities where required by law.
