The community chat at 916scanner.com is a space for real-time discussions related to emergency services activity, including police, fire, EMS, and other public safety topics. To ensure a respectful and useful environment, all users must follow these guidelines.
All users must engage in respectful discussions. Harassment, personal attacks, threats, discrimination, or inflammatory language is strictly prohibited. Debate is welcome, but hostility will not be tolerated.
The chat is for discussions related to active emergency incidents, public safety updates, and community impact. Off-topic discussions, excessive political debates, or unrelated personal conversations should be taken elsewhere.
Do not spread unverified information, rumors, or speculation about emergency situations. Always rely on official sources such as law enforcement, fire departments, and verified news reports. If you're unsure about something, state that clearly.
Users must not:
Violating this rule may result in an immediate ban.
Do not post personal information about yourself or others, including names, phone numbers, home addresses, or identifying details of individuals involved in incidents. This includes suspects, victims, first responders, and chat members.
Do not copy, retransmit, or publicly share chat discussions, logs, or screenshots without permission. This helps ensure the privacy and integrity of the chat community.
Excessive link posting, advertisements, self-promotion, or off-topic content is prohibited. Occasional sharing of relevant, public safety-related resources is allowed but should not be excessive.
Do not flood the chat with excessive messages, repeated questions, or unnecessary updates. This disrupts meaningful discussion and makes it harder for others to follow important information.
Moderators have the final say in enforcing these rules. Violations may result in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans. Chat history is monitored, and repeat offenders may be restricted from participating.
If you believe a moderation decision was made in error, or if you have feedback about the chat system, please contact us at [email protected].
These guidelines may be updated as needed. Please review them periodically to stay informed about community expectations.
