Terms and Conditions

By using muskegonbuzz.com, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and to the Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Service Purpose

muskegonbuzz.com provides public chat rooms, optional nickname accounts, private messages, photo sharing, temporary rooms, local weather and alert information, and moderation tools for community conversation.

The service is provided as-is. Features may change, break, be removed, or become unavailable without notice.

Accounts and Nicknames

You may use the site as a guest. You may also create an account to reserve a nickname. A reserved nickname prevents other users from posting under that name unless they log in with the correct password.

You are responsible for keeping your password private. Nickname accounts are not a guarantee of identity verification, ownership, or uninterrupted service.

Content and Responsibility

You are responsible for the messages, photos, profile information, reports, and contact form submissions you provide.

Do not post content you do not have the right to share. Do not assume that chat is private, even when using private messages. Site operators may access logs when needed for moderation, safety, troubleshooting, or abuse prevention.

Logging and Privacy

The site may log chat messages, private messages, reports, contact form messages, uploaded photo metadata, moderation events, nicknames, timestamps, IP addresses, forwarded IP headers, browser user agents, bans, and account reservation records.

Logs are used to operate the site, investigate reports, enforce bans, troubleshoot problems, protect users, and maintain community safety.

Moderation and Bans

Comments may be reported to Keegon. Keegon may review reports, answer help requests, post moderation messages, and assist with decisions about bans or removals.

The site may remove content, disable features, kick users from active use, or ban nicknames and IP addresses. A user who receives three reports may be automatically banned.

Moderation decisions may be imperfect. Use the contact form if you believe something needs review.

Weather and Alerts

Weather and alert information may be displayed for convenience. Do not rely on muskegonbuzz.com as your only source for emergency, weather, civil, Amber, or public safety alerts. Always follow official sources and emergency instructions.

No Professional Advice

Messages on the site are user-generated and may be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, misleading, or outdated. Do not rely on chat messages as legal, medical, financial, emergency, professional, or official government advice.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the site changes. Continued use of the site means you accept the current terms.
