Ameren's Facebook Community Guidelines

Welcome to Ameren’s Facebook community. We’re here to listen, educate and build relationships. We invite you to share your thoughts and questions, and ask that you follow Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities as well as these community guidelines when posting.

We’re committed to responding to questions and comments in a timely manner during regular business hours, Monday through Friday. Please note that this space is not designed for reporting emergencies. Outages, downed lines and gas leaks can be reported 24/7 at 800.755.5000 (in Illinois) or 800.552.7583 (in Missouri). If you suspect a gas leak, leave the premises immediately and get to a safe location before calling to report.

To ensure this community is useful and a safe environment for everyone, please follow these guidelines:

• Treat fellow community members with respect. Do not post deceptive, misleading, unlawful, harmful, harassing, threatening, abusive, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, racist, sexist, discriminatory or hateful content.
• Protect your personal information, as well as that of others. Avoid posting information such as addresses or account numbers where other community members could see it.
• Do not post commercial solicitations, advertisements or spam.
• Do not link to content containing viruses or any code designed to interrupt, harm, destroy or limit the functionality of any software or hardware.
• Adhere to local, state, national and international laws. Do not infringe on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party.
