Keep It Local, Useful, and Respectful

Summit Scene is for local events, tours, plans, introductions, groups, town notices, and community discovery around Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise, and nearby areas.

LGBTQ+ people, newcomers, locals, visitors, and allies should be able to use Summit Scene without harassment, outing, slurs, or identity-based targeting.

Not Allowed

• Harassment, hate, threats, bullying, or unwanted sexual content.
• Scams, spam, misleading event or tour details, fake business listings, fake organizer accounts, or impersonation.
• Illegal activity, unsafe instructions, or content encouraging harm.
• Private personal information posted without permission.
• Repeated off-topic posts or behavior that makes the app harder to use.
• Objectionable content or abusive behavior targeting people based on identity, protected characteristics, sexuality, gender, race, religion, disability, nationality, or similar personal traits.

Events and Business Posts

• Only post official business or organizer content if you are authorized.
• Use clear event details, dates, locations, and expectations.
• Do not imply permits, venue approval, or official approval unless you have it.
• Tour operators and guides should provide accurate duration, meeting location, price range, booking links, and safety expectations.

Reporting and Blocking

Use report or block tools when something feels unsafe, misleading, abusive, fake, scammy, or inappropriate. Summit Scene may review reports, remove replies or listings, restrict accounts, or take other action where needed.

Reports can be submitted from posts, replies, events, event posting profiles, and member profiles. Blocking hides the blocked user's content where supported and creates a moderation signal for Summit Scene review.

Summit Scene reviews safety reports as quickly as possible and aims to act within 24 hours by removing violating content and restricting, suspending, or removing abusive users when warranted.
