  3. Content published must always respect others’ privacy. References to events or details that are not of public interest and/or that infringe of the private sphere of third parties are to be avoided.

  6. Any form of advertising, spam or promotion of private interests or illegal activities will not be tolerated.
  7. Content that violates copyright and unauthorized use of registered trademarks is not permitted.
