Dignity in our words
We write with restraint, without insults, humiliation or incitement to conflict. We express disagreement respectfully and on the basis of facts.
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE DIGITAL WORLD
A code of digital
representation and conduct
Behind every post is a person. Moderation, integrity and fraternal consideration accompany us when we speak through a screen as well.
Privacy and consent
We publish another person's membership, photographs or personal information only with express consent. We do not share correspondence or recordings from closed groups without authorisation.
Responsible representation
Only authorised persons speak on behalf of a Lodge or Grand Lodge. We clearly distinguish personal opinions from official positions.
Safeguarding what is entrusted to us
We do not publish ritual signs, words of recognition or confidential material from our work. Discretion is a duty arising from trust.
Political restraint
We do not use Masonic channels for party propaganda. We do not present personal political beliefs as the position of the brotherhood.
Accuracy and moderation
We verify claims and correct mistakes. We do not use the Masonic name for personal gain, self-promotion or promises of influence.
Responsibility within closed groups too
We act with the awareness that a message may be forwarded. We do not take part in public shaming or hostile arguments.
Resolving disagreements with care
We raise concerns with supporting reasons through appropriate channels. Fraternal consideration also entails a willingness to acknowledge and correct mistakes.
