We're not going to clarify this guideline at present, save to say that abusers are not welcomed here in the community because abuser's issues are incompatible with issues that survivors of abuse are grappling with.

Guideline inadequacies have, in my opinion,
already caused heartburn (to say the least) here in the forums.
I think you could say that anyone convicted of an offense was barred, and anyone involved in
criminal proceedings that could result in a conviction was also barred. You might add that anyone coming here to prey upon the vulnerabilities of people here,
in the judgement of the administration, is not welcome. I have not found the judgement of authorities in general to be flawless, but maybe that could still form the basis of a working guideline.
I hope you can define thoroughly what an "abuser" is. Is it in the mind of the viewer, or is it something that can be defined "objectively"? It seems to me that some here define
anything that upsets them as being abuse. You have to do better. Is it "abuse" to not define things more clearly?
Not happy.
