The active use of the modules requires registration, with two exceptions: the Interactive Event and the Poll Module. All other modules require a deliberately low-threshold registration process with a freely selectable username and an email address. We have opted for a registration requirement for the following reasons:
The quality of participation is generally higher with registration.
It is not possible to (re)engage participants without registration, which prevents the establishment of a sustainable participation culture within a municipality.
Engaging participants during the process is also impossible without registration.
(Active) moderation of participation is only feasible with registration.
Rating contributions and proposals on our platform is linked to user accounts. This ensures that a user cannot vote multiple times arbitrarily.
Registration significantly reduces vulnerability to abuse (e.g., by bots).
